"SNIP...........

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced a “three-pronged approach” to go after the justice system following Donald Trump’s conviction, The Hill reports.

The plan includes using the appropriations process, legislation brought to the floor and Congress’s oversight authority to take on the Justice Department.

Said Johnson: “All those things will be happening vigorously, because we have to do that, because the stakes are too high and because people are losing faith in our institutions.“

“They’re eroding the people’s faith in our system of justice itself. As [House Republican Leader Steve Scalise] said, people have to believe that justice is blind. You have to believe that there is equal justice under the law in order to maintain a constitutional republic,” he continued. “This goes to the very core of who we are. the foundation of who we are as a nation, and that’s why it’s bigger than just President Trump. It’s bigger than just these cases. It’s about our system itself. And because of that there is a backlash.”

5. We should sound the alarm...once they weaken the DOJ, it's over.

When is it a constitutional crisis?

16. So many alarms have sounded in the last 8 years. Generally unheeded when it comes to decisive action.

I am still confounded by the fearful, week kneed approach, by government to tfg and his fascist following when when attempting to finish what is begun, and I’m always dismayed at we the people’s lack of strong, massive, ongoing direct action under the real threat of fascist uprising.

Please democratic leaders, lead us with power.
Please progressive firebrands, organize and inspire us.
I’m old but will gladly join in for all of it.

6. Where is that in the bible? But truly I agree with the poster that said we need to make people

aware of this because it can be dangerous. Or it could be a hysterical flop the way their recent attacks on Dr. Fauci and Merrick Garland have been

9. Yo Mikey!

You actually think people are "losing faith in our institutions "? That's because you are doing your damndest to tear them down.

Can't think that far ahead?

10. If you really want to take on the Justice system Mike Johnson

May I suggest you start with the Supreme Court which needs overhauled.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. The US Supreme Court is their "Gift Horse". It's the Liberals they want to get rid of.
