that conversation. and he even named two cabinet level people who were going to support that, namely john kelly, the chief of staff, and sessions, the attorney general. the 25th amendment requires a majority of the cabinet plus the vice president. so he was going to begin with jeff sessions and john kelly to get the cabinet to vote to remove the president. it sounds like he already discussed this with them and had gotten some encouragement on that. i do think people who heard it didn t really take it all that seriously. they took it manufacture as a measure of how unnerved he was by the fact trump was trying to set him up as the person who said fire james comey. and he wanted rosenstein to come out and give a press conference sawing i m the one who told you to fire comey, which is blatantly untrue. it was the combination and not so much that he fired him but
and he named two cabinet members that were going to be able to do that. the 25th amendment require asths, a majority of the cabinet. so he was going to begin with john kelly it sounds like he already-discussed with them. i do think people who heard it didn t real a take all that seriously. they tookic it more as a mesh of how unnuved he was by the fact trump was trying to set him up as the person who said fire james comey. and he wanted rosenstein to come out and give a press conference sawing i m the one who told you to fire comey, which is blatantly untrue. not so much that he fired him
piggyback on that. max, mel brooks said it s good to be the king. but this judge has said now that presidents of course are not king. so how big of a rebuke is this to the administration to hear this from a judge? well, i think it s an important symbolic rebuke even if the practical import of it is not clear as kim suggested. you know, in fact, you may continue to see fights over trying to compel testimony from other aides. but i think the symbolism is important because donald trump is a president who keeps asserting he has an absolute right to do just about anything. he said, i have an absolute to fire comey. i have an absolute right to fire mueller. i have an absolute right to close the border with mexico. i have an absolute right to demand that ukraine investigate joe biden. so in his own mind, donald trump thinks he is the king of america, and the judge is saying, no, you re not. this is still a rule of law republic where even the president is not above the law. and so i think
