Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Your mention of "legality" assumes there's some neutral third party deciding what is and isn't acceptable, but when the fascists control the judicial branch and the law enforcement portion of the executive branch, it no longer matters what the law says.
There's that negativity we can all expect, begging us to surrender in advance.
Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, that's kind of the point - we have to FORCE them to abide by OUR CONSTITUTION, not their whims. WE WON'T SURRENDER IN ADVANCE!
What are you talking about? I'm simply pointing out the fallacy of thinking that you can use the very system they've hijacked as a way to bring them down.
It doesn't matter if any of this is legal or not because they've demonstrated quite clearly that they don't give a shit what the law says. You're not going to get them to back down by applying the law if they don't respect or recognize the law. You'll have to do it by force, and at that point the rules don't matter. The only thing that matters is who wins because that's who determines what is and isn't legal.
We don't let them hijack it, it's as simple as that. If they can take it from us, we can take it back. All we have to do is play Hard Ball, and force them to abide by the Constitution, with NO EXCEPTIONS.
Protecting The Constitution is the objective, and it doesn't help at all to advocate for calling it lost, and proceeding in a vacuum. Otherwise, they can fill that vacuum with whatever they want.
If we don't want MAGA to decide what America will look like forever, then we better go all in on defending and preserving the Constitution, because we don't have anything else.
Your comments are so weird. It's as if they were pre-recorded or LLM slop as you're making references to things that were never said or even alluded to previously and you don't seem to be acknowledging anything I have said.
