The most criminal president in U.S. history threatens to withhold federal funding to schools and colleges that allow "illegal" protests. As others have pointed out this morning, there is a Supreme Court case that addresses whether and how federal funds can be used to indirectly regulate policy in the states. Among other things, the goal must be related to the original purpose of the funds and it cannot be unduly coercive.

Additionally, it is a violation of the First Amendment, a violation of federalism and the separation of powers. Plus, it’s unconstitutionally vague.

In short, it's unlawful.

But then whatcha expect from a rapist felon, amirite?
