The ethical issue has been raised to the highest level by the government of Donald J. Trump.
One of the strongest issues is the extent and limits of power of any one person in whatever office to which they have been elected.
Does the voting public expect its representatives to be honest; to be truthful as it moves on to the many areas of its authority; does it overstep its authority ahd claim vindication because it moves the government into a bigger better place? Do the elected representatives have the right to lie, cheat and steal to move the people they represent into a place where some of them are wealthier, have more power and will move to create a Nirvana for the rest of the citizens.
The tariff issue facing the Supreme Court is one of the largest of the issues facing these United States. Another very ethical issue is destroying a government officials reputation including firing under circumstances which make another position in government or business not likely so that the president can take over the Federal Reserve Board and have it bow to his wishes the way Donald Trump is doing with Lisa Cook?
It has become very clear and provable that the charges Trump used to attempt to fire Ms. Cook were not true and made up for the situation.
Should the Supreme Court ignore everything that their ruling will affect and move to rule in a way that those in power are most benefitted? Even if those benefits might also trickle down to the lesser citizens?
Should the United States president be allowed to demean, insult, embarress whomever he chooses just to let off steam so the person he is attacking will have their reputation smeared by the President of these United States and he then feels better emotionally because he has let out his frustration at only being president and not being God?
Donald Trump has claimed that for the Supreme Court to rule against his tariff power that he has assumed it would spell doom for the American Economy. Does that set in place the grounds on which the Supreme Court should rule – ignoring the laws and the constitution? Taking into consideration Trump’s claims about the damage ruling against him would bring on the economy and the country and ruling so as not to embarress the president and/or to help bring about a definition of president very changed from what this country has always been about? Or should it rule taking only into consideration the dictates of the laws and the constitution?
Didn’t we have a time in this country when the Supreme Court of the United States upheld racism, sexism and more by ruling that separatism was legal? Are we going back to visit that kind of Supreme Court in a society very much changed from the one surrounding the Court when it made that ruling?
With a president in office like Donald Trump, who has shown his ethics to be in the dumpster, when does that kind of leadership, if followed by the government structures like the Supreme Court ,cease to be a democracy and become a criminal enterprise/mafia with Trump being not president, but the Mafia Boss head of a country that once was a democracy?
