Some lawyer had a sufficient lack of self respect to utter the phrase โ€œthrew a sandwich at point blank rangeโ€ in a court of law. Folks, resigning with your dignity intact is always an option.

What are you not getting about it was legal to do so back then, and after the 22nd amendment was passed, it became illegal, nay unconstitutional, to do so? FDR is exactly why they passed the amendment!

Yes, I am aware of that. I was pointing out that there was no actual legal barrier to doing so.

(Although FDR was wildly popular, WWII or no.)

No there is not. 12th Amendment. โ€œBut no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.โ€ 22nd Amendment. โ€œNo person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.โ€ Canโ€™t be elected P or VP.

Which would be hilarious if they weren't constantly saying he's already been elected THREE times.

Where "hilarious" is the insane kind, not the ha-ha kind.

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice [...]" - 22nd Amendment

No. He can't. There, I saved y'all time reading the article.

It is truly shameful for your publication to entertain & normalize such blatantly unconstitutional chicanery. To report on the suggestion of a third term with anything but full-throated condemnation is journalistic cowardice. Shame on you.

Lawyer here. My educated take on this is that anyone who suggests a third term should be smacked with a rolled-up copy of the Constitution.

The Fourth Estate As The Final Check Beyond the three traditional branches of government, there is another that has often been described as a fourth branch: the free press.

In case you've forgotten, the press, i.e. the fourth estate, holds its own public service role as the final check on government. It is literally your job to hold the government to account, not normalize their plans to side-step the Constitution. Hope this helps! law.yale.edu/mfia/case-di...

one of those obstacles is the written rules of our government explicitly prohibiting it. What exactly are you doing here

30.10.2025 16:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 330    ๐Ÿ” 5    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 4    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No there is not. The Constitution is a hard bar. Any argument otherwise is literal quackery.

It is just plain foolish to think "charities" can meet the need. And meeting people's needs is exactly WHY WE HAVE GOVERNMENTS.

If the Comey or any other targets go to trial, I hope they can find a way to subpoena trump. Since he has immunity, wouldn't think he'd be able to invoke the 5th...

He's a treasure worth at least 50 big ones.
And that's the minimum.

We know he's on the take. Probably got cartels and coyotes on the line, border county sheriffs, private prison companies, police unions. He's a kid in a bribery candy shop.

But Meg doesn't care. The promhomecoming is next week!

They like criminals. As long as they are white, racist, religious, and rich they have their backs no matter what they do.

Daily Dems doing the work making noise and fighting back day 222

The more time I spend with elected officials, the more I realize how much they actually truly care and how much people just refuse to believe thatโ€™s the case. I hope these post out, itโ€™s my best chance at changing the conversation.

The level of investment in new detention centers requires finding ways to fill them. So we will criminalize whatever is necessary to fill them. See also prisons.

Oh I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact she is 1) a Comey and 2) worked on the Epstein case. Not sus at all!
