⬆️ @BlueDot >> NOT prosecuting them is what has gotten us to where we are today…
👍 Not prosecuting #Nixon is what got us #Trump.
Not prosecuting Trump in 2020 got us Trump again in 2024.
Biden's decision to not investigate Trump was premeditated (likely pre-negotiated) & preemptive.
As was his failure to release #Epstein files, investigate #Jan6 coup until #LizCheney "jolted" him to action, and pursue #Mueller evidence to track Trump's money ties to #Russia, and failure in EVERY SINGLE CASE…

Discrimination Day: How a Classroom Stunt Trained Children to Obey and Called It Empathy
At Brownell Elementary School in Lincoln, Nebraska, around 1973, my teachers ran a famous experiment on my class, and by the standard they set, I failed it. They split the room in two. The children with brown eyes were told they could command the children with blue eyes, and the blue-eyed children had to obey. I have grey eyes, so the teachers folded me in with the blue group, the way they folded in the hazel-eyed and anyone else who refused to fit the clean binary they wanted. For a day I watched classmates order other classmates to do push-ups, to fetch coats, to answer to the word "master." The teacher delivered the moral with a satisfied smile: "Now you know how it feels to be Black." We had, at most, one or two Black students in the entire school. […] -

Letters from an American – July 15, 2025 – by Heather Cox Richardson
By Heather Cox Richardson, July 15, 2025
Heather Cox RichardsonWithout any explanation, the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court yesterday granted a stay on a lower court’s order that the Trump administration could not gut the Department of Education while the issue is in the courts. The majority thus throws the weight of the Supreme Court behind the ability of the Trump administration to get rid of departments established by Congress—a power the Supreme Court denied when President Richard M. Nixon tried it in 1973.
This is a major expansion of presidential power, permitting the president to disregard laws Congress has passed, despite the Constitution’s clear assignment of lawmaking power to Congress alone.
President Donald J. Trump has vowed to eliminate the Department of Education because he claims it pushes “woke” ideology on America’s schoolchildren and that its employees “hate our children.” Running for office, he promised to “return” education to the states. In fact, the Education Department has never set curriculum; it disburses funds for high-poverty schools and educating students with disabilities. It’s also in charge of prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race and sex in schools that get federal funding.
Trump’s secretary of education, professional wrestling promoter Linda McMahon, supports Trump’s plan to dismantle the department. In March the department announced it would lay off 1,378 employees—about half the department. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia sued to stop the layoffs, and Massachusetts federal judge Myong Joun ordered the department to reinstate the fired workers. The Supreme Court has now put that order on hold, permitting the layoffs to go forward.
Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan concurred in a dissent written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, noting that Trump has claimed power to destroy the congressionally established department “by executive fiat” and chastising the right-wing majority for enabling him. “When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it,” they say.
“The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them. That basic rule undergirds our Constitution’s separation of powers. Yet today, the majority rewards clear defiance of that core principle with emergency relief.”

Judge #Aileen M. #Cannon’s stunning dismissal this week of the most serious charges faced by Donald Trump put her on shaky legal ground, according to experts,
who say she is🔸 on track to be reversed on appeal
🔸 and could even be removed from the case
— an extraordinary, but not unheard of step.
Because of the political calendar, however, any legal repercussions could be short-lived.
Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified national security records and obstruction of government efforts to retrieve the material
🔸may not matter if the former president and current Republican nominee is elected in November.If he gets back to the White House, Trump could pressure his Justice Department to close the case.
He could also promote Cannon to the very appeals court that will soon examine her decision to toss the case. Cannon’s finding that special counsel #Jack #Smith was improperly appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump
conflicts with numerous past court decisions and the nation’s long history
— during both Democratic and Republican administrations
— of allowing #independent #prosecutors to handle high-profile instances of alleged wrongdoing. ⭐️Smith has filed notice of his plans to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit,
which reviews decisions from the Florida district where Cannon,
a relatively inexperienced judge appointed by Trump in 2020, sits.⭐️The court has already rebuked her twice for her handling of other aspects of the classified documents case,
sending what Yale Law School professor Akhil Amar described as a message that her decisions had been “way out of line.”
The question now, Amar said, is
💥how quickly and dramatically the appeals court acts on the latest ruling, 💥
which dismissed the entire indictment for Trump and his two co-defendants.
“They may not want to stick their head in a #buzz #saw if they can just let the case take its slow, deliberative course,” he said.
In her 93-page decision, Cannon said there is no specific statute authorizing the attorney general to appoint a special counsel.She also said the Constitution requires someone with Smith’s authority to be confirmed by the Senate.
The judge acknowledged the tradition of special-attorney-like figures in moments of political scandal involving high-level government officials,
from #Watergate to #Iran-#contra to Russia’s attempts to #interfere in the 2016 election.
But Cannon said the practice of appointing such independent prosecutors has been inconsistent and based on a “spotty historical backdrop.”Smith, she wrote, is “a private citizen exercising the full power of a United States Attorney, and with very little oversight or supervision.”
Conservative legal groups have long questioned the constitutionality of special counsel appointments.
Cannon repeatedly cited Justice #Clarence #Thomas, who raised the issue in a solo opinion this month as part of the Supreme Court’s decision granting Trump broad immunity from prosecution for official acts.
That Supreme Court case focused on Smith’s separate election interference prosecution of Trump in D.C.
She also embraced the arguments in a law review article by #Gary #Lawson of Boston University School of Law and #Steven G. #Calabresi, a Northwestern law professor and 🔸a co-founder of the Federalist Society, with which Cannon is affiliated.
Other legal experts, however, have joined former Justice Department officials and Smith’s legal team in saying
her ruling ignores the history of special counsel appointments and flouts Supreme Court precedent.
Most notably, the high court in 1974 unanimously required President Richard M. #Nixon to hand over recordings to a special prosecutor as part of the #Watergate investigation.In that opinion, the justices endorsed the office, citing several statutes under which the attorney general had
“delegated the authority to represent the United States in these particular matters to a Special Prosecutor with unique authority and tenure.”
While lower-court judges are bound to follow the Supreme Court’s lead,
🔸Cannon took the unusual step of finding she was not required to abide by that aspect of the high court’s opinion in U.S. v. Nixon,
🔸saying the case did not directly address the validity of the office of special counsel.Michael J. Gerhardt, a University of North Carolina law professor who teaches about constitutional conflicts between presidents and Congress, said
Cannon cannot just brush aside a unanimous high court ruling.
“For a trial judge to ignore it is judicial malpractice,” he said, describing her most recent decision as
part of a “pattern of bias that leads her to endorse wacky or unfounded arguments,
and that’s a problem if you’re a judge.”
