This was excellent! Thank you for your education!

mike-wells.bsky.social•8 days ago

@weissmann11.bsky.social Not "neigh," on-going. Why is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment not apart of the conversation? I understand SCOTUS's Trump v Anderson ruling, but if Section 3 is self-executing, does not Trump remain illegitimate in the absence of congressional enforcement?

markbritt.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thank you so much for this. In the past year I always looked forward to hearing from you.

kilocharlie237.bsky.social•8 days ago

Chucky disagrees.

dishcommish.bsky.social•7 days ago

Supreme Court opened the door to this by placing Trump above the law. And of course the failure of Biden and Garland to respond to multiple crimes immediately.

1luckylady.bsky.social•8 days ago

Andrew no kidding! I think Trump has gone rogue! Seriously!! He’s got money bags (Elon)to bolster his money ego and now he feels like the almighty OZ! He can do anything! Hopefully the Supreme Court will rule against him or we are all f^*ked!!

They didn’t call him Teflon Don for nothing. He will ignore any means to stop him.

michaelaugustine1.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s not our democracy at stake Weissmann it’s your freedom now. You have made democracy a joke that allows you to outsmart your pals and followers with. I really hope you get back what you have given.

michaelaugustine1.bsky.social•7 days ago

Says the guy who knowingly prosecuted an innocent man and on more than one occasion manufactured lies to compound fake charges on his targets.. no more security clearance for you only process.. I wonder who you will lawyer up with.. Trump, Enron and karma

busterandme.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm sorry but you made me laugh, a felon rapist is pushing the limits of legality and decency you say. It's not funny, looking forward to some sign of boundaries.

themidlifemedium.bsky.social•8 days ago

Chuck Schumer is an old school oak-paneled private dining room elite donor class fundraising politician who is completely unqualified to meet this moment and must step aside immediately.

Resign today, Chuck.

jeffsmith62.bsky.social•8 days ago

Resign in favor of who? It’s a no win situation. Furloughing govt workers will make it easier for Trump to dismantle the govt. And it enables Trump to blame the Dems. Sometimes the best tactic is a scorched earth campaign.

elap.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you for everything you do, all the information you share with us and, most importantly, not backing down to tyranny.

abezuewrath.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thanks Andrew! We appreciate your perspectives

existential?

The train has already arrived at the station. Now we're just waiting for all the fascists to disembark.

Musk irritated at Judge McConnell’s ruling unfreezing federal funds went after his daughter including posting a signed tax statement, is this related? Are they digging for future attacks?

Why did the court's & judiciary fail us during the prior 4 years? Explain the cowardice

gemclip.bsky.social•7 days ago

Many people, including myself, support you. I’m sorry we have a mafia boss sitting in the Oval Office. Stand strong!

hairbyursula.bsky.social•8 days ago

100% correct!
Thank you Andrew Weissmann, I so value your knowledge, expertise, & instincts. Your of immense value to the laws of our constitution & democracy. Especially at this point in time. 🙏🏻

bearlooms.bsky.social•8 days ago

Your insights and analysis are always valuable to hear.
(Plus my family likes how you say "Soooo (seww)..." to start sooo many of your observations. :) )

xcised.bsky.social•8 days ago

Bet you enjoyed sitting at the table with Judge Michael Luttig yesterday on Deadline WH. I feel three times as smart as before, a legal, Constitutional tutoring service at no cost. Decency, forget.T doesn't know the word nor do his cohorts. Legality's a whole other thing.Last brick is the judiciary.

jeffsmith62.bsky.social•8 days ago

Fighting a battle that can’t be won. The war won’t be won with a frontal assault. It’s won by eroding MAGAt support. How? Tell them in over simplified terms what is going to happen to them. For example, warn college students about the consequences of the Dept of Ed shutting down.

rockinbluesshow.bsky.social•8 days ago

snarky-op.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, we are. People should be much more concerned...

annehagge.bsky.social•8 days ago

Beyond frightening!

harlanwonders.bsky.social•8 days ago

Should’ve saved that term for current situation. It seems to echo wolf after so much use.

rufkutdiamnd.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sounds like you’re on trumps target list. If you need a place to hide out I got the perfect place oh and dogs are allowed.

aludren.bsky.social•7 days ago

What prevents POTUS Trump from using Article 2, Section 3 to adjourn Congress indefinitely?

chrisbritt.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s never OK to vote with fascists

smck17.bsky.social•8 days ago

Decency?!...Coming from a Dem?!... Boy, that's rich.

neuyoricansoul.bsky.social•8 days ago

How So , any fact behind that or just here to Troll?
Last I saw Republicans are Now Russian Assets, so who's Decent ?

smck17.bsky.social•8 days ago

At least relations with Russia are a form of diplomacy. Support for the LGBTQIALMNOP is just endorsing degeneracy.

neuyoricansoul.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ok well opinions are like Assholes. Not going to dis way you from basking in the light of a criminal , weather Trump or Putin. Hope your confidence has the $$ for you & your family to survive. As the only American in this conversation that thinks that your position is one of a Traitor.

neuyoricansoul.bsky.social•8 days ago

But hey, That's My opinion. Just know that the rush of bravado that your kind feel at these moments do not scare anyone. But I think you already know that. That's why temporarily, go Ahead Flex ! - it's not going to last long, then you'll be mad as the Tea party all over again,

neuyoricansoul.bsky.social•8 days ago

and your side will matter less, have less representation, and world order will be restored toward progress. 😄

debbmatt.bsky.social•8 days ago

So terrifying!! What can stop it???

drjt4real.bsky.social•8 days ago

Agreed. Though if we meander back through history we see the ideology that was substrate for our current crisis. #usa

lmg1433.bsky.social•7 days ago

Fear not the Justice Dept is "on it!" Today the AG sent out an ALLCAP memo regarding the elimination of paper straws.

Nice to know they're starting with the nation's most pressing business.

pacamp.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thx for your explicit commentary. It’s a dark time for America. Schumer’s decision to support Trump and the republicans adds more division in the democratic party . He has turned his back on our democracy!!

jonysake6.bsky.social•8 days ago

Why "seems" Andrew?

littlefooch.bsky.social•8 days ago

Given the Executive actions since taking office and threats to impeach judges and not follow judicial rules, does that activate chapter 115, section 2384 which describes seditious conspiracy? This is from US House Code which derives from the Constitution??

axelfish.bsky.social•8 days ago

“Seems intent ”?

bryon29.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well maybe Democrats shouldn’t have allowed Merrick Garland to do FUCK ALL for four fucking years.

debbiefr.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thanks for all you're doing, Andrew. I just ❤️ and respect you ... and Mary McCord too!

nowpitching.bsky.social•8 days ago

We can’t be the frog in simmering water. The end result will be the same. Trumpites cannot be trusted. Better to draw the line and challenge the evil orange man. Even Repubs are beginning to see what he is capable of. SS should be the center of the battle. Call their bluff, fight now!

david-tuniman.bsky.social•7 days ago

Andrew, c'mon. Decency isn't even still in the rearview.

eileend6.bsky.social•8 days ago

still waiting for post-election autopsy from the legal community that allowed a felon, business criminal , sexual assaulter to become POTUS via spurious law suits, spurious delays, spurious legal “reasoning” such as debate over words like “and”. Laws are useless unless enforced. Failed legal system.

josey75.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, yeah, yeah... We know all this - what to about it is the question that no one seems able to answer other than speaking out and/or voting in two years which does not address/resolve the "existential crisis."
