Give it a few months to get to the Supremes.

this just in House Speaker Mike Johnson says The Constitution is unconstitutional...

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that the Constitution is unconstitutional.

So is article 3, probably later this week

One thing that I don't think people take into account with Mike Johnson is that he is also very very stupid.

Right? He looks good and has a great voice, but then he starts talking and you’re like uhhhhhh…..🙄

Mike Johnson is pursuing an agenda he's disingenuous but I don't see cognitive failings as the issue here

Yea iirc he is pretty radical about the constitution and what the US should become

Yes. Mike Johnson’s agenda is Christian fascism, see Project 2025.

Mike Johnson literally believes himself to be the Next Moses. He's on a Mission: Destroy the Republic. Replace it with Gilead. He's much more dangerous than Vance, or even the T-Bag, himself...

it might be comfy to stay in the zone of "they're stupid" but the cognitive failings of Johnson, and Trump as well, are mainly downstream of their depraved indifference to our safety and freedom and happiness staying in that comfort zone isn't helping vindicate our freedoms imo

🎯

His cognitive abilities are certainly NOT the reason he is speaker. He is there because he literally has no life outside the movement. He was going to be head of some law school named after some evangelical preacher rapist in the south, but when the press got wind, MJ backed out. Now he's speaker.

It's that the evangelical political world "selects" for stupid, rewarding people with access and wealth that they'd never come close to achieving on their own. It's like being born into a wealthy, pervy family. Keep the secrets and you'll be fine. Dan Quayle. George W. Bush. Palin. Pence.

He has to go. He is an authoritarian wannabe. What say you LA?

Republican's only treat the US like a democracy when a Democrat is in office. When its a Republican in office they're full steam ahead on autocracy.

And he is supposedly a constitutional lawyer 🤔. He’ll degrade himself for his dear leader. Shameful.

They just make up the rules as the go along to please Trump. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...

the entire constitution is unconstitutional to this buttwipes

That means Trump has less power to conduct unilateral strikes, not more.

so a law that was passed by both houses is unconstitutional because it was not approved by your orange fuehrer

Congress isn’t a coequal branch of government it’s a fan club for a cult leader

Spot on

Psychopaths will be psychopaths.

Wow

What an asshole.

Funnily enough this was how it was taught (questionably constitutional) when I took con law.

Same. wrote my student Note on it and the war powers. I thought the WPR was constitutional, but fairly useless except in laying down a norm that Congress didn't institutionally defend. WPR is in a small (?) class of non-judiciable statutes that courts look at & nope out for political question etc.

Can you say more about that? I’m interested in what the rational is.

The short version is the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, but not to control battlefield movements.

How omnipotent did George Washington, who actually helped write the Constitution, view his office? Not absolute. millercenter.org/the-presiden...

Genuinely don’t remember; probably something like the counter arguments in this: www.jstor.org/stable/1072825 Point is it’s not a new idea

lmao

The point is not “the law doesn’t matter,” it’s that Dems must contend with, message on, & plan for the fact that their opponents are authoritarians 52 years ago, a congressional supermajority voted to rein in the presidency; today one party wants a Potemkin Legislature bsky.app/profile/saba...

Anything that limits President Netanyahu's power over the US government is unconstitutional.

Speaker Moses Johnson is a sleazy twit.

It is not a new take and many a Commander in Chief from both parties have ignored it.

They are just asking for the American people to fight back

Johnson sucks but the “legislative veto” structure of the War Powers Act is identical to that of the statute SCOTUS struck down in INS v Chadha. There are also other longstanding doubts about WPR’s (or at least important provisions of it) constitutionality

The process to make a law unconstitutional is to send a check to the 6 corrupt USSC justices first before saying the stupid stuff.

yes-ludicrous in the sense he means it. It may be unconstitutional to the extent that it (ambiguously) gives the president more war power than the Const provides. It is not unconstitutional in the limits it describes for presidential war power. Presidents can only act unilaterally in an emergency

JFC 🤦‍♂️

MAGA considers everything in the constitution unconstitutional. Just wait for their rationalizations for the 2028 election results.

tbf The Constitution has a bunch of overly glamorous, ie fake, signatures…

well, to quote a predecessor and more recently the Supreme Court: when the President does it it's not a crime

certainly one of the Takes of All Time

Time for Mike Johnson to go

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson says that Article I is unconstitutional.

Or Congress itself

🎯

I didn't know Mike Johnson is now a federal judge.
