Democrats, feeling the panic of losing power with a Trump election victory in sight, are calling on Joe Biden to commit blatantly unconstitutional acts in his final days in office, including targeting his political opponents.
Democrats have constantly claimed they’re trying to “save democracy” in their attacks on President Donald Trump and his campaign to retake the White House in November.
But it appears they want Biden to destroy democracy in pursuit of saving it from Trump.
“With the end of the Biden administration in sight, liberal pundits seem to be striving to prove that the only difference between a lawbreaker and a law-abiding citizen is the ability to get away with the crime. Popular figures on the left from Michael Moore to Keith Olbermann are calling on President Joe Biden to commit overtly unlawful acts in his final 100 days in office, including targeting his political opponents. In one of the few statements of Moore with which I agree, he stated that this is ‘no joke.’ It certainly is not,” explained constitutional expert Jonathan Turley on Sunday.
“In a posting on Substack, Moore told Biden that it was time to yield to temptation and check off a liberal 13-item ‘bucket list’ of demands, tossing aside questions of legality or constitutionality in the process,” he explained.
Moore in his SubStack essay told Biden he “can get away with anything” by exploiting the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity and ignoring Constitutional restraints on the Executive Branch.
“You’re not done. You’ve still got 100 days left in office! And the Supreme Court has just granted you super powers — AND immunity! You don’t answer to anyone. For the first time in over 50 years, you don’t have to campaign for anything…“You have full immunity! No kidding! No joke! That’s not hyperbole! You can get away with anything! And what if anything means everything to the people?”
Turley explained that “the list includes emptying death row, canceling all student and medical debt, halting weapons shipments to Israel, ending the death penalty, declaring the Equal Rights Amendment a constitutional amendment, and granting clemency to nonviolent drug offenders. Other pundits have pushed Biden and Democrats to take some of the actions on Moore’s list before the end of the administration.”
“Many of these items could only be fulfilled by knowingly gutting the Constitution and assuming the powers of a monarch. That includes just canceling all student and medical debt in defiance of both the courts and Congress,” Turley noted.
Olbermann, a former MSNBC anchor, meanwhile recently called for Biden to invoke presidential immunity to deport Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and cancel his government contracts for supporting Trump on the campaign trail.
“If we can’t do that by conventional means, President Biden, you have presidential immunity. Get Elon Musk the F out of our country and do it now,” Olbermann said.
The leftists’ argument that the president has blanket “immunity” comes from the fact they recently lost a Supreme Court ruling in one of Jack Smith’s lawfare cases against Trump.
Turley noted the court concluded “that there was absolute immunity for actions that fall within their ‘exclusive sphere of constitutional authority’ while they enjoy presumptive immunity for other official acts. They do not enjoy immunity for unofficial, or private, actions.”
But according to Moore, those limitations do not matter and Biden should do whatever he can to advance the left’s radical agenda.
