Things We Can Do Now

Before getting into the American Tribunal we should remember that there is much that may be done now, without the need for this proposed tribunal.

The ideas below may be put into action today, before the end of the Trump/MAGA era.

In some cases these ideas may be put into action simply through private choces without the need for any action by a court of government body.

Capture Documents

The Trump/MAGA administration is increasingly destroying, totally redacting, or hiding documents (either physically or via real or pseudo national security classifications [Remember Dick Cheney's "Treat As Classified" stamp?])

We can be sure that as time passes even more documents will be altered, destroyed, or hidden.

This makes it important to gather as much of this information as possible and put it into reliable archives.

For example, government websites and datqbases should be captured and preserved, FOIA and Privacy ACT requests should be made and both the requests and responses (if any) archived.

Revocation of Professional Licenses

Many bad actors in the Trump/MAGA administration are lawyers or others who hold professional licenses.

Those licenses are subject to various State (and Federal) laws and rules regarding professional conduct.

Trump/MAGA lawyers, in the Justice Department, as judges, and elsewhere in the administration are all subject to these laws of professional conduct.

The bodies, typically at the State level, have the power to impose sanctions on professionals who violate their obligations. Those potential sanctions include the revocation of licenses to practice.

These bodies usually move very slowly and often tend to be excessively forgiving.

Social Engineering Style Remedies

Private Remedies

Private actors - you, me, and companies - are reasonably free to take actions without waiting for judgements from a tribunal.

The ancient remedy of ostracism still works.

For example, private business can institute hiring policies that would deny employment to anyone who has held a position with ICE or CBP or has held a political appointed position in the Federal Executive branch during the Trump/MAGA era.

Private clubs and churches can take similar actions.
