Fereralist Society calls for Trumps impeachment

[floridafan]

Arch conservative and Federalist Society co-founder Steven Calabresi has written extensively about special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe being unconstitutional, but when it came to President Donald Trump’s tweets Thursday, the game is over.

In an op-ed for the New York Times Thursday, Calabresi said that the president’s idea to delay the election are fascist and that he must be impeachmed immediately.

“I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980, including voting for Donald Trump in 2016,” he explained. “I wrote op-eds and a law review article protesting what I believe was an unconstitutional investigation by Robert Mueller. I also wrote an op-ed opposing President Trump’s impeachment.

“But I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election,” he continued. “Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate.”

He noted that the United States has faced a number of difficult times from the Civil War to the Great War and World War II. There was the Great Depression, the massive 2007 recession, presidential candidates have been shot and killed, protests broke out during political conventions and a slew of natural disasters have struck. At no point has the American election ever been delayed.

But Calabresi took it a step further, noting that not only is Trump wrong, but anyone who agrees with him has no business being in elected office.

“President Trump needs to be told by every Republican in Congress that he cannot postpone the federal election. Doing so would be illegal, unconstitutional and without precedent in American history. Anyone who says otherwise should never be elected to Congress again,” he closed.

I wonder if he thought that Starr's investigation into Clinton's affair with Lewinsky was unconstitutional as well?

Get back to us when it happens. Trump talks so much smack it's impossible to know if he's serious or just trolling.

The president should not be trolling. Trump is too stupid to understand this, but the president's words actually have huge consequences.
Some here have suggested that he was trolling when he said people should be arrested for burning the flag. Well, even if that's true, we now have thousands of his drooling idiots who really do believe burning the flag should be illegal. This is going to have consequences and they're very bad for freedom of speech.

He is always serious. The President is serious all the time.

Starr wasn't investigating the Lewinsky Affair. He might have a problem with the special and independent council, though.

Which one is it? If he's serious, it's worrisome. If he's just trolling, it's still worrisome.

Do you people really think Trump will postpone the election? Really?

[Bill]

This asshole is a little late to the Party.

Yep, but better late than never...

Now he is a never trumper-let history be rewritten.......

[Jack]

Yep, but better late than never...

Now he is a never trumper-let history be rewritten.......

Let's see, there's August, September, October, then the Election. And this guy is all of a sudden stepping forward with a broad proclamation of 'Trump should be Impeached!'. Not really sure if I buy into the sincerity here. (call me skeptical)

[Bill]

I don't know him so I can't speak for his sincerity either, but then I don't care much either..

His defection is enough for me & I hope he spreads the word...........

[Tranquillus in Exile]

Do you people really think Trump will postpone the election? Really?

No, because he can't. What may cause problems is if he thinks he can and tries it.

[Bill]

Also if some politicians support it........

Unfortunately you have lots of cowards in congress that are deathly afraid of him...... The real men & women packed up a few years ago.

Other than Mitt, is there really anyone w/ the backbone to stand up to him??

Look @ linsey, he went from calling trump names to his biggest whore, & cruz?? Really, is there any excuse for that?? Insulted his wife & dad & he now kisses his ass..SHAME
