No, you didn't. You made the claim that Trump is "shredding the Constitution". I asked you to show me where a court has determined that this has happened. You posted articles which made allegations, and the Politico article you posted was from August 2016, months before he was even elected. The ACLU is a discussion of - as I predicted - "the Muslim ban" which is an issue that has already been settled in a manner favorable to the current administration.

So, I'll ask again. Show me where a court has determined that actions that the current administration has taken have "shredded the constitution".

For a competing perspective, there are some who have observed that there has been a reduction of regulation, which has the effect of promoting individual freedoms, which is more consistent supporting a constitution that was designed to limit the power of government.

In the aggregate, the Trump administration is issuing fewer major regulations on manufacturers than that of the Obama administration, and it is seeking to eliminate or delay several major regulations on manufacturers that were issued by the Obama administration. (The difference from the Bush administration is less stark.) The number and cost of new major regulations on manufacturers is likely to remain low, and it is unlikely that the cost of compliance with long-standing regulations will be reduced significantly.

Administration officials said last month that, since January 2017, federal agencies have delayed, withdrawn or made inactive nearly 1,600 planned regulatory actions. Further rollbacks will affect financial services as well as energy and labor rules, among others.

And Mr. Trump has appointed outspoken critics of regulation to lead several federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The evidence is weak that regulation actually reduces economic activity or that deregulation stimulates it. But business executives are largely convinced that the cost of complying with rules diverts money that could be invested elsewhere. And economists see a plausible connection between Mr. Trump’s determination to prune the federal rule book and the willingness of businesses to crank open their vaults.
