With new executive order NSPM-7, the Trump administration claims the right to replace the authors of the US Constitution in determining what freedoms we will and will not be allowed.

NSPM-7 is a presidential directive issued by the Trump administration focused on countering domestic terrorism and political violence. According to multiple sources, including Newsweek and TIME, NSPM-7 directs federal agencies to investigate groups suspected of promoting political violence and intimidation that suppress lawful political activity. Critics, such as the ACLU and legal experts cited by The Guardian, express concern that this order could be used to target political opponents and restrict civil liberties, potentially threatening First Amendment freedoms.aclu.orgaclu.orgHow Trump's Proposed Radical Expansion of Executive Power Will Impact Our...theguardian.comtheguardian.comTrump’s disregard for US constitution ‘a blitzkrieg on the law’, legal experts...+3 more

However, none of the sources provide evidence that NSPM-7 explicitly claims the authority to replace or supersede the Constitution's framers or their role in defining constitutional rights.

In summary, NSPM-7 is a controversial executive directive with significant implications for civil liberties and political dissent, but it does not constitutionally or legally empower the president to unilaterally redefine fundamental freedoms outside established constitutional processes.
