“Gödel's Loophole is an "inner contradiction" in the Constitution of the United States which Austrian-American logician, mathematician, and analytic philosopher Kurt Gödel postulated in 1947. The loophole would permit the American democracy to be legally turned into a dictatorship…“
8 #Republican senators announced Fri they would boycott #Democratic#legislative priorities & nominations as payback for #Trump’s #guilty#verdict.
In a joint statement, the senators said they would not “allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare.”
They also said they would refuse to vote to confirm President #Biden’s political & #judicial appointees & vowed to block “expedited consideration & passage of #Democrat#legislation or #authorities that are not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.”
#POTUS#Biden addressed #Trump’s #conviction & said “the American principle that no one is above the #law was reaffirmed.”
“The #justice system should be respected, & we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that,” Biden said.
“It’s reckless, it’s dangerous & it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the #verdict,” Biden asserted. “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, & it literally is the cornerstone of #America.”
But a few are suggesting abandoning Trump as the #GOP nom.
Surprisingly, fmr congressman #MoBrooks (R-AL), a once loyal Trump ally, posted after the #verdict Thurs that the GOP “faces [a] choice.”
“Keep Trump as nominee & gamble USA’s future,” Brooks said, or “replace Trump with a good character nominee & BEAT THE STEW OUT OF BIDEN!”
“#America just witnessed a confused, desperate, & defeated Donald #Trump ramble about his own personal #grievances & lie about the American #justice system, leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion: This man cannot be president of the United States,” #Biden communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
“I do believe the Supreme Court should step in,” Johnson told #FauxNews. “Obviously, this is totally unprecedented.” neither the [#law or not the #crime are unprecedented, plenty of #precedent, it’s just the #criminal committing the crime that’s new].
Speaking on Fox, #MikeJohnson said he knew some of the justices on #SCOTUS personally [I bet he does] & believed that they shared his view that #Trump was a victim of unfair & politically motivated [fair & impartial] prosecutions. He also suggested that the #legal system was biased against Trump & other conservatives [I mean, c’mon, seriously?].
“So I think they’ll set this straight,” #MikeJohnson said, “but it’s going to take a while.”
He added later: “I think this court will do the right thing, because they see the abuse of the system right now.” [I think THIS court will do the wrong thing, they abuse the system constantly]
