Laffy

Jan 6 never ended

‪Via Aaron Rupar:

Alina Habba to Chuck Schumer: "What your opinion on what the law is doesn't really matter. It's what the White House counsel says and what our attorney general of the US says."

@GottaLaff
Habba is full of beans. In the end, the courts decide what the law means.
How did this idiot get a law license?

@n1xnx She's perfect for Trump

@n1xnx @GottaLaff You are right, but as a practical matter, the rule law is meaningful only if it can be enforced. Who is going to do that?

@meltedcheese @GottaLaff
As a practical matter, lawsuits will be (and are being) filed, injunctions issued, and the Trumpies will be stopped until they appeal it up to SCOTUS.

Now, if they just flat-out ignore the courts, they can expect a mass job action by Federal employees and the military, The latter are forbidden by their oaths from obeying unlawful orders, and these would be VERY clearly unlawful. Expect the command structure to be very plain in explaining this to the ranks. I find this scenario unlikely, however.

We have to see what shreds of integrity and respect for the rule of law the right wing on the Nine in Black have left.

If they have none, well, we had a nation of laws until we didn't. It would be premature to give up before then.

If that all goes bad, I dunno. Me, I'll be dropping off the Net and staying well away from major urban centers as I plan my escape from Gilead.

@n1xnx @GottaLaff Thanks. That’s reassuring, at least right now.👍🏼

@meltedcheese
Yep. One day at a time. Illegitimi non carborundum.

@GottaLaff sooooooooooo they just stopped pretending courts matter? Cool, cool, cool. This is definitely gonna end well.

@GottaLaff

Hi Chuck, welcome to the dictatorship.... I'm sure that'll cause him to write a sternly worded letter.

@GottaLaff Fantastic. So much for those criminal justice classes I took. No longer in any way applicable.

@justmichelle @GottaLaff A law is only a law if enforced. :(

Was just talking to my fellow about how one of Biden's failures was not immediately hold the seditionists in Congress accountable. It would've fast-tracked the rest.

@GottaLaff Well, that's not chilling at all...

@GottaLaff

Of course, "what we can get away with" is where the line is. Trump showed them all that nothing else matters.

Not values, not agreements, not allies, not fairness and certainly not others.

@GottaLaff *checks off yet another fash bingo box* mm hm… mmmm hm. 😡

@GottaLaff Habba once again reveals her only talent is being a bully. It sure as hell isn't law.

@tobie1 And Schumer is spineless, so the 2 of them... sigh.

@GottaLaff
Schumer better wake up or just retire now....there is no discussion with extremist radicals hellbent on destroying you.

@GottaLaff
After this bulllshit ,I'd say just quit now,give your seat to a 30 yr old

@GottaLaff Does Schumer understand that the law has never stopped a fascist takeover?
