This source argues that a specific clause within former President Trump's proposed budget bill, the "one big beautiful bill," poses a dire threat to US democracy. The core concern is a provision that would prevent federal courts from using funds to enforce contempt citations when no security was provided for injunctions or temporary restraining orders, effectively rendering courts powerless to compel compliance with their rulings against actions the President deems illegal. The source contends that this maneuver would place the President above the rule of law, potentially allowing him to act with impunity and dismantle the system of checks and balances established by the Constitution and harkening back to limitations on arbitrary power enshrined in documents like the Magna Carta.
