I'm talking about the checks like judicial review, which is not being enforced in dulles currently as CBT continues to bar lawyers from visiting with detainees in violation of court order. I am talking about the disregard for Geneva refugee convention the United States was committed to. I am talking about looping in people are supposed to enforce this and having a common sense discussion with them about what it means in practice. None of those are incompatible with the representative democracy we hold. Nothing there requires direct democracy. Those are the things that make this "unilateral"

So can you explain to me, how this is not democracy, if Trump was elected, democratically?

Without saying the election was rigged by Russia.

I never said this government was not a democracy, but that this administration's MO is inconsistent with the limitations set forth by our democratic government. For example, being elected does not give you carte-blanche to ignore federal court orders.
