It is not true that the notwithstanding clause has never been used federally. It is used transitively by the Liberal's changes to the official languages act by referencing Quebec legislation which uses it.

I'd certainly like to know what the U.S. military bigwigs plan to do if Trump keeps his promise, declares himself dictator on day one and starts ordering Homeland Security to grab people off the streets. Maybe the American press will ask them at some point. #Trump #uspolitics #media
Like the total lack of integrity of "going around Israel" to deliver aid via a convoluted route while still arming them is pretty breathtaking. I understand geopolitics is hard. I understand Netanyahu is really aligned with Putin and Modi not the US (unless Trump is in power and part of this particular little axis of evil kleptocrats). But you really can't pretend to the the "good guy with integrity" when you're being part of the problem. The problem with fascists is you can't soft shoe your response, you need to speak the truth plainly and clearly to fight fascism, you can't propaganda your way out of it or continue to treat the public like they're idiots to be manipulated and controlled. Fascists will always be able to beat us at that game, all we have is integrity and speaking the truth (even when it's unpalatable).
*All that said, I do realize this is a very complicated situation on a logistical and geopolitical level (and internal political, the defense industry owns America) even if it's a much simpler one on an ethical one. If only America had headed the warning from their own president about the dangers of the military industrial (congressional) complex.
