Law professors urge Biden to defy 'mistaken' rulings by 'MAGA' Supreme Court justices | Fox News

Law professors urge Biden to defy 'mistaken' rulings by 'MAGA' Supreme Court justices | Fox News: 

"What is most striking about these professors is how they continue to claim they are defenders of democracy, yet seek to use unilateral executive authority to defy the courts and, in cases like the tuition forgiveness and affirmative action, the majority of the public. They remain the privileged elite of academia, declaring their values as transcending both constitutional and democratic processes," Turley wrote.

He added, "In other words, they are calling for Biden to declare himself the final arbiter of what the Constitution means and to exercise unilateral executive power without congressional approval. He is to become a government unto himself."

It was and is liberals!-----Our society’s ‘top brains’ have gone mad — and dysfunctional politics is the result

Our society’s ‘top brains’ have gone mad — and dysfunctional politics is the result - Glenn H. Reynolds

"...There’s a lot of craziness in the air these days.
But for the most part it seems to be flowing from the top down, not bubbling up from the bottom.

• It wasn’t farmers and factory workers who came up with the idiotic COVID responses — nor was it they who originated the more or less criminal idea of conducting “gain of function” research on making dangerous viruses more dangerous.
• It wasn’t shopkeepers and bus drivers who thought the way to deal with burgeoning urban crime was to get rid of police and release criminals without bail.
• It hasn’t been landscapers and auto mechanics championing the notion that a child in the single-digit age range can make a lifetime choice about his or her genitalia or maintaining that even criticizing that idea is itself a species of “violence.”
• Ordinary Americans haven’t been claiming the way to promote free speech is to censor people or the way to end racism is to classify everyone by race and consequently treat them differently...

MiLEAP will help our learning ecosystem take the jump to the next level...

Media beg Republicans to 'move on' from Hunter Biden because they know the scandal is serious

Media beg Republicans to 'move on' from Hunter Biden because they know the scandal is serious - Jonathan Turley

“I wonder after this plea happens if you would advise your party to move on?”
That question from CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan to Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie was raised just days before a former business associate of Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, gives potentially explosive testimony to a House committee in the Biden corruption scandal.

• The media’s desire to “move on” from the scandal is reaching an almost frantic level, as millions in foreign payments and dozens of corporate shell companies are revealed, and incriminating emails are released.

The same plaintive demand was made in congressional hearings...
