The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode VII: We Are All Going To Die, Thanks Obama!

I hate the things that voted for it a gazillion times more.

You’d also think our Strong President could talk to his good friends Russia and Saudi Arabia and ask them “politely” to stop tanking our Wonderful Stock Market.

There’s still time for your pony to catch the bandwagon.

Trump definitely wants to bone Charlie Kirk.

Let’s get back on track to other signs of our imminent demise. Has anyone asked the lawbros how they would handle corona?

As the House of Representatives noted in the brief it filed, previous Congresses have obtained the bank records of Presidents Andrew Johnson and Jimmy Carter, and the tax records of President Richard Nixon. They have read the diaries of President Ronald Reagan and the law-firm billing records of first lady Hillary Clinton.

The Trump administration cannot cite case law for any of its new demands. It quotes few cases, very briefly and tangentially, and strikingly often with ellipses in the middle of the quote.

LOL!!! That is some last-minute undergrad essay citation support.

“Please don’t check my citations please please please please please”

Narrator: They did.

“The President faces a unique risk of harassment in response to his official policies or actions,” his lawyers argue. To heighten that risk, they quote the 1952 case involving President Harry Truman’s seizure of steel plants…

They continue, this time quoting the Supreme Court’s language in the Paula Jones lawsuit against President Clinton: “Likewise, the President ‘occupies a unique office with powers and responsibilities so vast and important that the public interest demands he devote his attention to his public duties.’”

The history-minded reader will recall that Truman lost the steel-seizure case, and that Clinton likewise lost his fight to be immune from civil liability for sexual harassment. Oftentimes, such effusive compliments to the office of the presidency in the language of a Supreme Court decision serve as consolation prizes for some rebuffed claim of presidential power. But Trump’s Department of Justice deploys the compliments as if they constituted the law itself, not the wrapping paper around the law.

Will we be saved, though? Though Trump lost his last appeal before the Supreme Court, one of the judges he installed had this to say in her dissent:

Although Trump lost every previous round of this litigation, one appellate judge did agree with him on the merits: his own appointee to the D.C. Circuit, Neomi Rao.

In her dissent from the majority opinion against Trump, Rao advanced an arresting new claim: “When Congress seeks information about the President’s wrongdoing, it does not matter whether the investigation also has a legislative purpose … Allegations that an impeachable official acted unlawfully must be pursued through impeachment … [and] cannot be investigated by Congress except through impeachment.”
