Summary
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance warned that Chief Justice John Roberts may reverse a key Supreme Court precedent to benefit Donald Trump.
Trump seeks to overturn Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, a 1930s ruling that limits presidential power to fire officials.
Vance argues Trump is trying to consolidate executive power and undermine the judiciary. She cited Roberts’ language in a past ruling granting ex-presidents broad immunity as an “ominous sign.”
The conservative court may prioritize politics over precedent.
Are you a cop? That’s some real cop thinking right there.
“He threatened to kill me!”
“He hasn’t yet. Come back after he does.”
Bit of a difference in trying to reverse established precedent and committing murder
You’re smart enough to be a cop, if you aren’t already
You can insult me all you want for stating obvious reality. Maybe if you took more time dealing with actual reality other than being perpetually offended by what you imagine may happen you guys could win some elections.
“You guys?” It’s a team game, is it? Us vs. Them, eh? Pretty copish mentality there.
