Jamie Raskin shuts down "presidential immunity" for Trump

[@gregedmand9939]

If the President has ultimate power to do whatever he wants: why bother swearing the oath?

[@tometriceshepherd6609]

Exactly, perhaps if the conservative supreme court justices don't understand the constitution on the way it was written. I think it's best that they takes some refresher course on how to do their job former Judge Lutig who is also a Republican he knows the constitution from front to back, this is who I believed. He's is honest, and loves this country and democracy.

[@Franclin58]

Could someone let SCOTUS know please?😊

[@rosssimpson6268]

On the other hand, that also provides the contra argument - that THE ONLY WAY to provide the necessary limitation of dictatorial power is by impeachment! That process is far more sensitive to random misuse brought on by the quirks of democracy - the relatively frequent (and healthy) change to the balance of Congress - where the detailed rules (aka Federal Laws) are made, after considered debate! The Constitution provides the fundamental guidelines, but it's Law that specifies the detailed rules! And it's Law that sets the actual boundaries (with Trials being used to measure incidents against those rules)! Democracy is really a pretty fragile state, that must be protected, quirks and all, from the dictatorial attacks by the likes of Trump! Fortunately, it does have the tools and practitioners (Law, the Constitution et al) to do so! I'm sure it will succeed - in spite of the present attacks!

[@jryecart8017]

he has no facts - - - Each month, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issues Congress’ monthly fiscal report card by cataloging recent federal spending and revenues; signaling to the American people what those updated totals mean for our nation’s subsequent economic health. Today, CBO released its Monthly Budget Review for July 2023. Key Takeaway: In the first 10 months of FY 2023 the deficit has amounted to a staggering $1.6 trillion. This is $954 billion (or 131 percent) higher than the same point last year. In just 10 months, the FY 2023 deficit already exceeds last year’s full year deficit by $241 billion. Then Versus Now: Compared to CBO’s May 2023 baseline, the 2023 deficit is now projected to be $1.7 trillion, about $200 billion higher than the May projection of $1.5 trillion. Washington’s Spending Addiction: Spending is $473 billion (or 11 percent higher) and revenues are $418 billion (or 10 percent lower). Economic Red Flags: $1.7 Trillion. CBO expects the deficit will reach $1.7 trillion in 2023, about $200 billion higher than its May 2023 projection of $1.5 trillion. Skyrocketing Interest. The largest spending increase was for interest payments on the debt, which increased by $146 billion (or 34 percent) compared to this time last year. Student Loan Bailout Chaos Hurt the Economy. Spending for the Department of Education increased by $91 billion (or 57 percent), due to President Biden’s student loan bailouts. Never-ending Economic Uncertainty. FDIC spending increased by $52 billion (such spending was negative last year), as the agency dealt with bank failures in the spring. Bidenflation Harming Social Security. Social Security spending increased by $111 billion (or 11 percent), impacted by high inflation. Health Care Spending Continues to Climb. Medicare spending increased by $104 billion (or 18 percent). Similarly, Medicaid spending increased by $29 billion (or 6 percent). To Make Matters Worse: CBO’s monthly budget review for July is further compounded by Fitch Ratings’ August 1 downgrade of the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+ for just the second time in our nation’s history.

Definitely YES ! And could it be that Trump would like the power to take over the Supreme Court ? I suspect that PROJECT 2025 has been prepared by some people with inadequate legal skills who think they can curry additional favour from Trump IF they write into PROJECT 2025 additional powers to a President that totally go ABOVE any current rights.

Amazing idea!!!

[@marthamurphy3913]

Everybody in the United States needs to hear Jamie Raskin on this topic.

[@ClaudiaGonzalez-l4f]

Congressman Raskin, we the people definitely need more persons like you in Washington. Thank you!

[@candyestes47]

Thank you Congressman for explaining today’s class so the common every day citizen can understand. It sickens my heart that almost half the country refuses to understand and accept the constitutional facts. God Bless America!

[@BarbaraBurton-zs7tn]

God give students the right and proper facts and the effort to really buckle down and learn again. Proper grammar would be a good start. And this goes to YTUBE, STOP INVENTING WORDS LIKE UNALIVE. Die, dead, even passed away is OK, but UNALIVE? For what purpose? Even the spell check doesn't know the word.

[@strangequark420]

Raskin's presentation simply needs to be broadcast on primetime national TV, every day for a month. The American people are woefully uneducated about how their own government is designed to work. The networks need to put profit aside for now and let this knowledge sharing happen.

[@suzy161]

Love this idea!

[@BarbaraRies-ur5zx]

What a treat to have someone explain things to us layman that we understand!

[@rozebaum]

Wow! Thank you for helping this 80 year old to understand the constitution! 💙

[@klootzak587]

I am very sure that with your 80 years, a hell of lot valuable wisdom could be learned from for all of us. Stay strong eighty..

[@lotharschiese8559]

Ignorance is the cause of sufferance, must to be getting smarter, more experienced.

[@bouquetchocolatesandconfec77]

I like Mr Raskin , keep sticking it to the GOP !!! Vote Blue 🎉🎉2024🎉🎉

[@juliussmith4001]

BRAVO! MR. JAMIE RASKIN Bravo Brian Tyler Cohen and lets vote them out all of them 2024. BLUE WAVE

[@carolegumprecht1536]

Thank you Jamie Raskin you are so right about education about our constitution and for the people to know the jobs of the congress and Senate. We definitely need civics classes in School.

[@mycobal]

The brilliant and eloquent truth from a genuine American patriot, a Constitutional Law Professor and Congressman. Bravo! Hear! Hear!

[@johndarcey3517]

He’s an idiot. Not withstanding all the accolades he is supposed to have received.

[@CrystalDragon617]

Yes , Raskin is an absolute Rock Star for Democracy !! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@surfdogvacationrentals5207]

JR is an intellectual gift to OUR DEMOCRACY even to those who have ignored its foundation.

[@ErinHochendoner]

You are a shining light…someone who really has respect and knowledge and love for our country and what our forefathers hoped would be. The great experiment 🙏

[@susanvandenbrink3862]

This Supreme Court would really benefit from this class.

[@susanbengston3208]

The majority are obviously Corrupt and Need to be Criminally Indicted NOW!!

[@Beth-h2r]

I would venture to say that 95% of americans know very little about the constitution and very little about politics. Mr. Raskin is an amazing educator and he is going places. I love this guy.

[@rogueninja1685]

And this wisdom is buried in some random BTC video with a pointless sensational title. Nobody will ever see this or be able to historically reference these words because of the ridiculous title. It's really a shame because these are critical words spelled out so accurately and concisely

[@markg.4246]

I am not a constitutional scholar, or even all that conversant when it comes to politics...but I know a shyt shoveling carnival barker when I see and hear one. And...I've known this about donnie for decades, as have most people who live by "principles before personalities". FDJT!

[@meh8982]

You really don't need to know that much about the Constitution to know that the president is not a king and is not all-powerful. This is supposedly a democracy, which has no all-powerful leader. And a republic by definition doesn't have a monarch.

[@mizu2in]

@@rogueninja1685 Well, he also teaches law so he is influencing his students, but this outreach to the internet audience is terrific. Like you, rogueninja, I wish it could be shared more broadly, like....what?

[@sassysaint3096]

​@@rogueninja1685 You watched it, I watched it, actually thousands has watched it hopefully forwarding it to family and friends who will forward it.

[@brendahansen9358]

Jamie you are gift to America. God bless you and keep you healthy and safe!

[@Patricia-e1s]

👍Sen.Jamie Raskin on the supreme court is an excellent idea ! 👍
