It's being reported in local Norwegian news that this guy got his USA vacation ruined after border agents at the airport interrogated him and searched through his phone and sent him back home after finding that picture. Deeply unserious country

You must be thinking of the Old United States -- the one with a sturdy rule of law, where eyebrows were raised over not observing the First Amendment. It's hard to believe, but even some very rich people were convicted of crimes! Not all that needed to be, of course, but it wasn't unheard of.

When you ask to come into a country, they can say no. Sadly, other than your country of birth (exceptions), you have no right to vacation, travel, visit, work, or live in another country where the government hasn't given you permission. It's a sad state of affairs.

This is a violation of the First Amendment. And before anyone tries to suggest that a foreigner doesn't have First Amendment rights, I would encourage you to read the text. It says "Congress shall make no law..." It doesn't grant rights; it restricts the government from doing exactly this shit.

When you are at the border for inspection, you aren't yet in the US, even tho you are on US soil. Case law says that in those circumstances, noncitizens are not fully protected by the Constitution (e.g., CBP can search their phone without a warrant). That said, this case seems like real overreach.

2 They provided for the common defense -- against outsiders. Not wholesale treason with no judiciary to check it. A lot of the powers he's taking were explicitly assigned to other branches. He's violating the Constitution by assuming them. They weren't seers. They imagined a lot, but not this.

Because of priority of sources. Trump doesn't care about normal law and use it's "nobody can stop me" as a way to sidetrack normal law because the constitution is TOO VAGUE about his powers and restraints. No law could stop him, only a CONSTITUTIONALLY FIXED barrier that's beyond his reach.
