Mike Johnson declares war on the constitution [View all]
There is nothing left to debate.
When the Speaker of the House endorses impeaching judges because they ruled against the president, the United States has entered the terminal phase of democratic breakdown. Not drift or erosion. Termination.
Yesterday, Mike Johnson did something that would have been unthinkable in any functioning democracy: he declared that judges who enforce limits on Donald Trump should be removed. He did not allege bribery or corruption. He did not allege incapacity.
He alleged disobedience.
