“Edifying conversation “ is exactly what describes this week’s Main Justice. I’m thankful for your explanation and analysis, and appreciate your commitment to ensuring the information is truthful, accurate and easy to understand; it’s the Weissmann Way!
I saw you last night on The Last Word and I appreciated how you expressed the gratitude that is due Dr. Fauci for saving millions of lives over his decades long public service. Mahalo!
Thankfully I’ve been a devoted fan of Andrew’s for many years! He’s brought clarity to all things regarding our constitutional order & the threats that Trump presents to our democracy!!
Andrew, your continued presence online with valuable information to keep us in the loop about all the legal chaos out there is so appreciated! Every day brings a new blizzard of data to keep track of. By the way, on that same note, your book is wonderful.
I am a dedicated listener to your weekly show and have learned so much about the legal system from you both. I’m absolutely appalled at what is happening to our country by this administration. Thank goodness the judiciary is holding us together from all the illegality of trumps administration. Thank you both for all your doing in helping us understand the constitution and the law. A grateful fan.
I believe that the wealthy oligarchs are taking over our country, and we are at the point of no return. I have been advocating either a soft secession or an outright secession by the democratic states. Recently, I have been considering a new approach to transform our country in a way that will undo the inherent mistakes resulting from the occurrence of slavery in our country and the fact that we ended up being a country with a major division between the North and the South. The question of slavery was never discussed or resolved at the convention in 1778, but the division was present at that convention and has resulted in our country having two disagreeing parties. We have two warring parties that have been battling since the issue of slavery.
My thinking is, what if there were a way to eliminate both of their parties, no longer a Democratic Party and a Republican Party? Both are gone. There is a way for that to happen. What if our people had a new party, developed, funded, and controlled by us, the people of America? Why do we have two enemy parties? Do you think the people in the South are very different from us in the North? I believe the people in the southern states are like me; they want a peaceful life, a reasonable salary, a secure retirement plan, and to care for all their family members. This I believe. I believe that the majority of those living in the South during the worst times, when the Ku Klux Klan existed, didn't agree with the Klan, but just as we are living with ICE and are afraid to confront them on the street, so did they live like we are living with ICE.
I watched the Alabama football team play in Alabama, cheering for a team where nearly all the players are Black, and yet they were being cheered. When I had a chance to spend time with people I thought were my enemies, I found the truth was just the opposite; they became my friends, and we enjoyed each other's company. In Florida, at a beach under an awning, I spent time with a man from Indiana and Wisconsin, both farmers and wonderful people who talked about things that did not exist in my life, but we were friends. They were good people with good hearts. In Europe, I met Germans, and once I could get past my stereotypes, I found them to be warm, sensitive, young people.
So, if we are all alike, what or who is generating our two-party difference, or just distrusting each other? And ideas? Who makes a living from the existence of this two-party system?
Politicians do! Politicians are the fly in the ointment. They are the ones who will say that a national health service will raise their taxes, even though that is not true. I believe that if I could ask my fellow citizens questions without the politicians, they would answer the same way: no differences, both the same, yes, a national health plan is great, yes, strong unions would be helpful, yes, everyone could go to college free; the person sowing dissent is the politician.
Now, my plan for an American People's Party would be an idea never considered possible until Trump and the invading oligarchs have forced us to rethink our government structure and the existence of two political parties. Please imagine what it would be like to have one party for all people, a party created by the people, developed, controlled, and funded by the people, with no politicians controlling the party. The platform for this party will be created by the people, not by the politicians who are oligarchs' paid extensions. This plan would have a people platform for all people, administrators chosen by the people, and internal organizations to control the party's future, ensuring the party is safeguarded from being invaded by the wealthy.
I wrote about my new American People's Party yesterday and received suggestions from readers for additions to my party's platform, which I outlined in my piece. Suggestions included 12-year term limits for SC judges, making student loans eligible for bankruptcy, and providing $30,000 for first-time homebuyers, to be repaid when the home is sold. I appreciate that someone is reading what I am writing. We would have input into our party's platform, rather than politicians forming one in secret.
Excellent talk Andrew and Mary. As I commented on YouTube, I laugh to think how the last year & 1/2 I’ve learned to keep up with in great detail all the push back from judges to this regimes illegality. So thankful for your expertise and ability to get across sometimes difficult or nuanced information to an average person like myself just trying to better understand our world.

Thank you both. 🙏❤️🇺🇸💙
The Ginsu knife comparison is perfect. This whole administration has the feel “of as seen on tv” schlock being pitched to us…
And someone said that Lutnick reminded him of TV”s “Shamwow Guy”.
But, there’s more, Blanche, there’s more.
Thank you Andrew, for addressing this

Liar’s Kingdom is an illuminating read. I particularly like the two laws outlined to curb politicians lying while campaigning.
I got the book as soon as it was released. The book is fantastic! I enjoyed reading about your parents!

Jack Smith will have his justified revenge when he prosecutes various regime figures for war crimes at The Hague.
Thank you Andrew. But as a Mainer ….Maine Justice!

This is always a great pod, so informative on legal aspects that I want to keep learning about. And I vote you keep up the banter.
A REVOLUTION WITHOUT A REVOLUTION.

Oh and I finally remembered yesterday to get your book ordered ☺️
