Conservative northwestern law professor and also one of the cofounders of the Federalist Society claimed in an oped this latest to his fascist dick and its grounds for the president simmediate impeachment again. Its just very similar or at least that resuscitate a consistent theme that has been raised throughout the trump presidency. Also most notably by liberal critics. Of course he was impeached allegedly for violating the constitution at the time of his impeachment peter pelosi for example said if we allow one president , any president no matter who she or he may be to go down this path, we are saying goodbye to the republic and hello to a president king.
