Illegals: How Trump is Ignoring the Constitution and Laws to Install Loyalist US Attorneys


Listen Later

The appointments clause is enshrined in our Constitution. Checks and balances and separation of powers are a part of our Country's DNA. It's a system we have used for 250 years, designed to prevent abuse of power. If we adhere to that system, then individual liberty is protected.

But this administration daily demonstrates the dangerous view that the executive branch is all powerful. In this case, it does an endrun around the constitution and laws to install loyalist US attorneys who will protect his friends and punish his enemies.

Therefore, the people must pay attention, the lawyers must make every lawful objection, and the courts must send a strong and clear message to the president - comply with the law or face significant consequences.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Explaining the illegal appointment issue;
  • Why we believe this issue is NOT WAIVABLE by the defense, as it is a structural defect; and
  • Why this is a constitutional crisis that every American should care about.
