'An America that you won’t recognize’: Legal scholar Kermit Roosevelt III on SCOTUS and Project 2025 

arrested under emergency law. people in positions are being paid off as we speak. when fascists go for power its an all in. they only understand violence.

Tax law violations too

Perhaps insurance law violations as well

America is a country that we don’t recognize now! The absurd authoritarian ruling by the extreme right wing scotus giving a president absolute immunity is another step towards accomplishing the extreme right wing agenda for taking control of the government!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually not. One of the POTUS official duties is to appoint justices… So he can do that. Appointing justices without congress approval is illegal… so he can do that too according to this SCOTUS ruling. The SCOTUS own defense to their ruling is that the POTUS must be able to take bold actions to govern, not having to contemplate if those acts are legal or illegal. It is however an unethical act if you think the POTUS shouldn’t be immune.

@@abrakkehakka1357 Well, expanding now won't help that ruling, but the new term can give way to new decisions that will hopefully stop some bleeding...

Expanding does nothing. Adding term limits does.

@@spidalack I disagree...

@@abrakkehakka1357 Congress can expand the number of Justices on the court. It is the constitution that congress has that power. To add or subtract the number of Justices. Then Biden would make nominations to fill those new vacancies!!! THAT is how the system works!!!

Conservatives are making sure they are going away

As long as democrats control your life, you don't have liberty. Everyone of them elected goes after your constitutional rights.

Or... "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." (hard to know who said that first)

@@dennisreed3382 what constitutional rights are Dems trying to take away?

Citizens have to know far, far more about the their civics: the structure of our federal and state governments, the principles of governance gleaned by the Founding Fathers from thousands of years of history, including their historical mistakes and successes.

Tax evasion for not reporting past bribes as income.

Supreme court not only changed the constitution regarding Presidents, they made their change to constitution retroactive!!!!!!

Give the Roberts Courts Republican-fascists a chance and they'll put themselves above possibility of prosecution.

The supreme court is the highest in the land. The only thing they answer to is force.

So the court is rogue because you and MSNBC don’t agree with their rulings? Elections have consequences. That’s life. I’m sure if it was liberal you be telling conservatives to live with it. 🙄. Remember Trump was elected by millions of moderate democrats. Now they are mad after they voted for it. Trump could not have won without moderates from both parties, just like all elections. My party needs to stop crying, move on and concentrate on getting Biden removed so we at least have a chance to win the election. Because the moderates are leaning toward Trump again.

Joe has been in politics for over 50 years just like he's mentor Senator and Grand Wizard Robert Byrd.

Nicely stated. SC Justices elected by the people with term limits.

@@ufo_vid9694more lies from the cult

Yeah, well, that can't happen unless Democrats win every single election. So make that happen first, THEN you can discuss how to fix the constitution.

​@@michaelhapgood782 I've read it. It's a blueprint for subverting our Constitution.

​@michaelhapgood782 Our Constitution vs Project 2025. Pick a side.. Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the U.S Constitution is the world's longest surviving written charter of government. Its first three words-"We the People"-affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force because its framers wisely separated and balanced governmental powers to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and equality, and of the federal and state governments. Since 1789 the Constitution has evolved through amendments to meet the changing needs of a nation now profoundly different from the 18th-century world in which its creators lived.. More than two centuries after its ratification, the U.S. Constitution remains a vital and living document, strengthened by amendments, serving as both guide and protector of U.S. citizens and their elected officials. It has survived civil war, economic depressions, assassinations, and even terrorist attacks, to remain a source of wisdom and inspiration. The creation of the U.S. Constitution depended upon the knowledge, experience, and dedication of its framers, just as its endurance depends upon the knowledge and experience of each succeeding generation of Americans. For this reason, it is important for us to learn and understand the governing principles of our nation, set forth in the Constitution. I love the fact that the first 3 words of our Constitution are "we the people." This affirms that the government of the United States, exists to serve its citizens. Honor our Constitution, and protect it at all cost, the same way it exists to protect us. Semper Fi...🇺🇸.

80-90% of mainstream media is owned by the Heritage foundation and the federalist society! It's ridiculous how they've deceived the American people ever since 2016 about Trump.

Because they are owned by the billionaires who want Project 2025 to happen

@lukeyznaga7627 they are all afraid orange mango will attack them if he wins.

Did you see that the CEO's of all the major media companies are Trumpfsky supporters. That's why.........

Yeah what is the truth? The truth to you only what you want to hear

The fact that Leo and his king making protegees on the SC are all hailing from private prep schools run by the Catholic Church should be of concern. They all pull on the same church bell. The reshaping of the Constitution by theocracy and a few king makers without the process the constitution has provided is alarming and looks more like Iran today than what the Founding Father's had envisioned.

Marxism is a secular religion, that projects the downside of the human mind.

@@rambleon2838 *than

@@LostintheTwilightZone I had it right the first time, lol. Thanks.

SCOTUS!

I think the reason the founding fathers gave them lifetime appointments was they believed it would be the best way to make them independent and be able to judge on the merits and intent of the law. That's how all judges should rule. If given term limits, could potentially go rogue knowing the term is coming to an end. Making deals behind closed doors. Such as highly favorable jobs for a specific ruling. And other issues. Making them elected positions for a period of time like the rest of government offices makes them beholden to certain voters for election and re-election. Not independent. Worked as it should for a while but didn't last. Number of reasons for that. I think the 2 biggest are: 1. Parties. Our founding fathers knew the dangers of forming parties. They had advised against ever forming a party but chose not to ban them. 2. Allowing the justices (or any judge) to accept gifts or do speaking engagements

EXACTLY! And, much more. The constitution did not make sure judges (and their decisions) were independent from undue interference by the executive and legislative parts of the government. It made them EQUAL to the two branches.

😂😂 Delusional much?😂😂

Federal judges have lifetime appointments. If Democrats control the House in 2025, then they could threaten the right wing Justices with embarrassment by Impeachment. McConnell and his fellow Republican “power before nation” cronies in the Senate would block any convictions. So it would only be an embarrassment in the history books, not actual change.

@dianeleier9878 it is maybe 10 years

Because it is too long! I'd say 8 years just like POTUS.

@@harrygearhart4520 Yes, I was thinking the same thing.

@@dianeleirer9878 well maybe 3 terms of 4 yrs cuz they got to know every case load.

This! What lying liars they are. The immunity decision proves that without a doubt! Nowhere in the text of the constitution does it explicitly state or even imply that the president is immune from prosecution!

Exactly, Federalist Society members are only originalists when it suits their agenda and become pragmatists when that suits their interests.

Election year

What does that have to do with it?

It requires congressional approval. Dems don't have the numbers.

Expanding the Supreme Court requires an act of Congress. And it’s a foregone conclusion that Republicans would block that.

We have already seen how corrupt scotus is.

@@Redoctobermach1 So retiring at 55 or so and collecting a pension for 30 years or so?

​@@frankbandera6591 I was referring to any position that gets a full salary after retirement, which I believe is just a few. Most people only receive a fraction of their salary after retirement if they're lucky enough to have a pension. The vast majority of people rely on social security and savings if they have it. There must be a better system, because the current one leaves a lot of people behind.

@@frankbandera6591 alternative facts quit with your conspiracy theories

Because it takes a 60 majority in the Senate to do that. Dems only have 51.
