Judge Thomas G. Moukawsher is a Connecticut complex litigation judge and former lawyer, legislator and lobbyist. He is the author of “The Common Flaw: Needless Complexity in the Courts and 50 Ways to Reduce it.”    President Trump has consistently tried to delegitimize the courts, which is weakening our democracy and deteriorating the Rule of Law.    For decades, the international community has looked to the US to promote democracy and establish functional legal systems, especially with the ICC, ICJ, and human rights treaties.    The Trump Administration may possibly use Gunboat Diplomacy and manifest destiny   regarding the Panama Canal, Greenland and Canada. War on Terror   legislation allowed the President to take aggressive, and possibly illegal action. The NATO Treaty requires Greenland and Canada be defended if attacked; therefore, Democrats, Republicans and the Judiciary need a united front to protect the Rule of Law and rescue US international prestige which is plummeting worldwide.
