Anne Deysine, jurist and specialist in the United States, describes the weakness of potential counter-powers in the face of Donald Trump being elected president while American voters are called to the polls, Tuesday, November 5, to elect whoever will succeed Joe Biden at the White House.
“If Donald Trump is elected, it will not be at all like the first term where there were counter-powers”warns Anne Deysine, lawyer, specialist in American political and legal issues and professor emeritus at Paris-Nanterre in the franceinfo Talk on Thursday October 31.
L’American presidential election will officially take place on Tuesday November 5,(New window) but in 47 states, voters have already been able to vote for three weeks to choose the next tenant of the White House. In the running, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris.
“Note that the second counter-power, continues the lawyer, that is to say the courts, no longer exist because he has appointed so many judges, including three to the Supreme Court, that even when he commits attacks, violations of the Constitution, of the law, the Court will say that it is not that serious and will allow violations to pass at the cost of specious motivation.”
