Glad that Simone Sanders pointed out that trump does not have the legal right to conduct mass firings

let alone mostly of Dems as he has been threatening for days! Too many are just accepting this as inevitable. Chris Coons said there will be legal action if he tries that. The authority for that lies with Congress. At least the Dems and some of the media are on offense. For what it's worth, I'm not getting "cave" vibes from the Dems at all.

He may not have the legal right. But if no one stops him (Congress, Courts, Cabinet) then it doesn't matter. Midnight Writer Sep 30 #3
I wish I were optimistic. The list of things he does not have the legal right to do, and yet does, is LONG. progressoid Sep 30 #4
I guess they haven't noticed that the orange anus doesn't follow the law. He breaks the law. SamKnause Oct 1 #5

He will do as he wants, and he doesn't care if it winds up in Court. He can stretch a Court case out indefinitely.

Plus, he is personally immune from legal judgment for his acts as President.

This man has committed dozens of impeachable offenses since this term started. None of it matters. No one in a position of power and responsibility will stop him from destroying our institutions.
