Federalist Society Co-Founder: Trump Fascist Election-Delay Tweet Grounds For Immediate Impeachment

'Federalist Society bigwig says Trump's election-delay tweet is grounds for immediate impeachment' Daily Kos, July 30, 2020, Ed.:

Steven Calabresi is a Northwestern University law professor and co-founder of the uber-conservative Federalist Society. And he thinks Donald Trump’s latest fascist tweet is, well, fascist.

- Steven Calabresi, NYT Opinion, July 30, 2020.
https://nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opinion/trump-delay-election-coronavirus.html

“I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980, including voting for Donald Trump in 2016. 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. 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.”

Easy for him to complain now. Since the Federalists had all their judges confirmed, they don’t need a Trump anymore.

takeover in November. That group of white, far right wing group of lawyers have been using trump and McConnell to pack the courts with crazy unqualified judges for three and a half years. That is all they care about.
