Thank you as always for reminding us every day of what matters in such a calm but incredibly forceful way!! I just read an Instagram post about the powerful John Williams music from “Schindler’s List” I don’t understand why more people don’t (can’t?) see what’s happening now!!
President Zelinskey berated by a US president who votes with Moscow, China, Iran etc. Zelenskyy is a heroic leader, a grandson of a Holocaust survivor who saw several brothers lost to the Nazis. AND we are banning the books that tell some of the stories !? 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇸
It is such a bloody relief to see you here!!!!!! Thank you for telling the truth, for being wise, for being so damned knowledgeable, for being so brave. Damn. What a relief. PolitiSage will instantly recommend you. We don’t have a lot of people, but the people we have are sooooooooo brilliant.
Thank you thank you Andrew and Mary. The clarity of your explanations and discussions help this Canadian to better understand your system and the tragic consequences of everything that’s taking place. My heart aches for you.
I played the part of William Roper to whom Thomas More advised, “Stand upright in the wind.” The iconic Daniel Seltzer, inimitable actor, Princetonian grad, professor and Fulbright scholar was (and is) Sir Thomas More. “Thrill” would be an understatement.
The law, for all its sometime klunkiness, and frequent frustrating time lags, is still one of the foremost achievements of humankind. When its aim is justice for all. And the law can be worked around, as it, like we ourselves, is not perfect. When I sort of grind all this inside the hopper in my head I come up with a serious question: when is it necessary to suspend fealty to the letter of the law in honoring its spirit? Yes, it’s a slippery slope, but by God, the enemy on the walls doesn’t give a damn about the law. And the law will never be restored by them, as they are Visigoths. Those patriots who do a bit of working around, will, because the law is in their hearts and souls. Just thinking out loud.
We cannot give the emergency powers to Trump. No shape, form, or fashion. That is what President Paul Hindenburg gave to Hitler in 1933. That was the death knell of democracy in Germany. Fascism resulted. The CR must be shot down for that reason alone. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/dictatorship-is-choreographed?r=3m1bs
Judge ruled Khalil can’t be removed from the US at this time. The Hearing is March 12!
Protecting First Amendment activity is the issue:
Trump as usual twists the laws to fit how own warped needs.
And under his rancid interpretation of Freedom of Speech …
Doesn’t this accusation by Trump actually describe Trumps behavior toward Putin? So, since Trump speaks out to support Putin, shouldn’t Trump be arrested?
Hi ! I so enjoy your podcasts and videos ; something about the legal detail, the tone, the fireside, the dog…
I was disappointed by your way of talking about the views of Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil is not a Hamas supporter, he is a man who “stood up in the wind” when 2 000 pounds bombs were being indiscriminately dropped on his people. The deeply unfortunate practice of systematically levelling the grave accusation of antisemitism at anyone critical of Benjamin Netanyahou’s governments policies not only makes it harder to be consequent about cases where antisemitism does indeed need to be addressed, but also makes it necessarily to factcheck such accusations. Did you do so in this case?
I get your point that even if he had said heinous things, they would be protected by his 1st amendment rights. But I was surprised that you seemed to suggest that he had, and to assume that people listening to you had a suspicious stance vis-à-vis people who protested the war on Gaza.
I both value and follow your work, and, through my abject devastation about what is happening in Gaza, find solace and pride in the fact that students around the world have stood up against something that is morally wrong, and ostensibly in complete violation of international law (pending ICJ case and the CCJ arrest warrants).
Isn’t the idea to consider the facts and the law ? I do hope this will be read, I literally teared up at the injustice when listening to that part, reflecting also on the need to create a broad liberal/progressive coalition, and to not dismiss huge swaths of young people as terrorist-supporting antisemites when they are protesting against insufferable human rights violations.
Thank you and Mary for such a comprehensive update. I especially appreciate the information about the Khalil case. I hadn’t been following it as well as I should have. Now I know what’s going on.
Lots of things going on with the Trump administration trying to rewrite the constitution and the rule of law and Andrew and Mary are here to cover it and push back on it! Take a listen!

How do you get rid of a President who has a clearly diminished mental capacity or is incapable of the position.

Great overview. Thanks as always. 🙏💕
Excellent discussion between two brilliant lawyers on topics of grave concern to million of Americans. Thank you!
A great listen as I drove today
Great!

Thank you for your thorough update. The Thomas More reading is so meaningful with the current events unfolding!
