ABUSE OF POWER!
Former U.S. Attorney General, Michael Mukasey—on Colorado and the “Supreme Court Showdown”….
Video transcript
this week with a Supreme Court showdown. The justices are set to hear oral arguments on Thursday in a case that could upend the 2024 presidential race, as they consider whether Donald Trump can be removed from the primary ballot in Colorado. That state's high court ruled in December that the former president is ineligible to hold office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits an officer of the United States who took an oath to support the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection from holding office again. Let's bring in former Attorney General of the United States, Michael Mukasey. Judge, welcome back to the show. Good to have you here. You've written, for us in fact, that the President of the United States is not covered by the disqualification clause of Section 3. Why not? Right. First of all, the presidency is not an office under the United States. It has its independent source of power. It's a mistake to say it's under the United States. But passing that question of whether he violated an oath that he took as an officer of the United States, he took an oath as president. That's prescribed in Section 2. Oaths of officers of the United States are in Section, or in Article 6. That he took an oath to support the Constitution. That's the violation. The oath that he took was to preserve, protect, and defend. Different wording. And understand, these words were not picked out of the air by the people who framed the 14th Amendment. They were in the prior Constitution. So they used words to mean the same thing that they meant in the Constitution as it existed before. So if you're a textualist judge or an originalist judge, you're looking at that language. You think it's pretty clear call. It's just not covered. Yeah. I mean, there's also, there are three clauses in the Constitution that refer to what the president does that show that he's not an officer of the United States. One thing he's obligated to do is to nominate and appoint all officers of the United States. He doesn't appoint himself. So therefore he's not an officer of the United States. Another clause says that he commissions officers of the, all officers of the United States. Doesn't say all other officers. It says all officers. He doesn't commission himself. I guess some of the supporters of the disqualification of President Trump say, look, of course the framers wanted the president covered. They assumed that he would be covered because they obviously didn't want Jefferson Davis. This was drafted in the wake of the Supreme Court to be able to run for president someday. Interesting. They weren't worried about Jefferson Davis, number one. Number two, the words president and vice president of the United States were in an initial draft of section three. They were taken out. And the reason they were taken out was that they didn't want to fight over that. What they were worried about was what in fact happened, not Jefferson Davis, but the vice president, who was sent to, to the Senate as a Senator and people were scandalized that the 11 Confederate States were going to reconstitute themselves as a Confederacy. So they barred people from serving as appointed officials and they barred specifically them serving as senators and members of the House because that was what was being done before the 14th amendment was passed. Okay. Now the court could decide that it decides this case on those grounds that you just decided, but there is this question lurking in the background of whether or not what happened on January 6th was an insurrection. What do you think? Uh, and does the court need to get, reach that question? Court doesn't need to reach that question. I don't think they will because it's fraught. People have been debating that with more, more light, more heat than light. But, um, the fact is nobody's been charged with insurrection, not even the people who participated, certainly not Donald Trump. And in fact, the government's theory of those cases is not that he engaged in an insurrection, but that they were acting on their own, um, and their other charges against all these other charges against the defendants who were tried. So, um, that theory won't wash. But, uh, so, and, and, and the court might be prudent to avoid this question of insurrection because it's so politically fraught. You will impassion people on either side. If you actually delve into this, particularly when there's no need for it. Um, but the trick will be if they're going to decide it on language and grounds of textualism, textual language, um, then they're going to have to convince people not only that they're correct, but also that they're right. And those are two different things. And that the second part may be a harder sell. It's got to be a good explanation. There's another issue, which is that assume, let's assume for the sake of argument that the court allowed colorado to strike the, uh, the, uh, president Trump for the ballot. Other states have said, no, we don't agree with that argument. He is going to be on the ballot and they've considered this question the same question. So if, if they did go along with colorado, the Supreme court, we'd have a patchwork quilt of election laws, a crazy quilt of election laws where a candidate would be qualified in some states, disqualified in other states on the, on the same ground. That is the question of the 14th amendment, which the Supreme court is supposed to be the final arbiter of. So that's another argument, even though it's not strictly a legal argument, is it? That's another argument for the court coming in here and, uh, and declaring colorado, uh, out of bounds with its decision. Though that, that should not be a consideration, but it's definitely a benefit. What do you think, uh, the Supreme court will do? Bottom line. Um, I think they'll reverse. The question is the ground on which they will reverse as a whole child's garden of grounds that, that they could use. Um, I just hope that whatever ground they use, they are unanimous because I think that would help validate whatever the decision is. Uh, if they go riding madly off in all directions, that kind of undermines the authority of what they do, even though it shouldn't. Yeah. But you're absolutely right about that. Let's hope. And I think chief justice Roberts would like to have it unanimous. Thank you, judge McKeeves. We appreciate you coming in.

The only right, honest, and lawful thing that Clinton-appointed Judge Lewis Kaplan, who has so far been unable to see clearly because of his absolute hatred of Donald J. Trump (ME!), can do is to end this unAmerican injustice being done to a President of the United States, who was wrongfully accused by a woman he never met, saw, or touched (a photo line does not count!), and knows absolutely nothing about. I have been considered an A-List celebrity for many decades, so even decades ago, since no one knows which date or dates to refer to, because the accusing woman can’t say the day, month, season, year, or decade, it would have been impossible for me to walk into a crowded department store (surrounded by buildings I own), right opposite the cashiers’ checkout desk, without being written about on Page Six, and every other outlet at the time. Remember, those gossip columnists were, perhaps, even more vicious and obsessed than the Internet of today.…

When is the Great State of Georgia dropping the FAKE LITIGATION against me and the others? ELECTION INTERFERENCE! The case is a FRAUD, just like D.A.

A very interesting situation is taking place. While I was in office, Bill Barr, as Attorney General, was very slow & unenthusiastic about going after Joe & Hunter Biden regarding their possible criminal activity. Much was being reported in the Media. It was hard getting him to move, but I always felt he believed you just don’t go after Presidents, V.P.’s, & Presidential Candidates very cavalierly. I understood that, & was sort of OK with it. Now Biden thugs want to indict me, for NOTHING!

The Democrats have really WEAPONIZED the Department of Injustice, even sending political operatives to work in the Manhattan D.A.’s Office. They want to GET “Trump” this way, because they know they can’t beat me at the polls. They’ve been after me for years with Hoaxes and Witch Hunts, but as I become more and more popular, at least partially because of the contrast between now and just 3 years ago, it only gets more dangerous and worse.
