Trump states "absolute power"
04/15/20 at 06:54:40
 

When somebody’s the president of the United States, the authority is total,"

 Anyone agree with this?

 What about today's turnaround with the authorization for states to do their own recovery efforts?

 Its like telling your company's board that they have to do what you say and they inform you that legally that isnt the case since you own 49%.

 So you give them permission to run 51%.

 I am.  I'm in a location where I can't look up the posts.

 Let's say that hypothetically if any POTUS said that at any time, would you agree?

Somehow I missed this - But sometimes deep rooted systemic and institutionalized corruption - where the primary skill is "working in government" may need to be uprooted and thrown out by a heavy handed axe wielding absolute power president - but I'm combating your thin air with mine.

Cool.

 A Google search of the quote.  It's documented thoroughly on YouTube as well.

 So we are all about what is "Unconstitutional" until Trump says something in very direct violation of it?  Then it's ok to overlook since it benefits America?  

 I'd be interested in how giving a single person absolute authority over all 50 States is beneficial and Constitutional.  Its rare for the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel to remain completely silent on a topic.

I think Trump should find a friendly Republican congressman to introduce legislation to this effect and we could call it “the Democratic Party rediscovers the 10th amendment act“

@Eegore,

It's silly to ask if anyone agrees. It's like asking does anyone agree that the constitution has a second amendment giving citizens the right to bear arms. Whether one agrees with gun control or not, the constitution says what it says.

Similarly the Constitution is unequivocal in that any power that does not explicitly say in the Constitution that it's the Federal govt, is automatically a State power. Again, this is just Trump trying to create headline.

LOLOLOLOL What a DFI.
If you are going to Trash the government, of a Nation.
At least know/understand about it's Constitution.

The 2nd does NOT, "Give", the right.
It is the government saying a person already,  HAS that right,
and that right, "...shall not be infringed..."

In Australian speak it means.
The government can NOT, take the, 'right' away !

What was that thing, started in 1861, which was about, STATES RIGHTS, than morphed into something else, by the Historians ?

@Mn Lol lol lol yourself you dopey puerile c-nut, the point is obvious, although not to a brain dead creep like yourself, which was that the constitution clearly does not give trump the powers he claims and in fact it explicitly states that.

 The Civil War.  What part of that indicates Trump was correct when he indicated the POTUS authority is total?

 I am asking who agrees with this assessment.

FFS, Even Attorney General William Barr said...“States have very broad — as you know, what we call police powers, very broad powers that the federal government doesn't have to regulate the lives of their citizens, as long as they don't violate the Constitution,”

A key Trump loyalist in the House, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), threw Trump’s words back at him.

“The federal government does not have absolute power,” she wrote on Twitter, before quoting verbatim the 10th Amendment’s promise that powers not apportioned in the Constitution “are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

“The federal government does not have that power. The Constitution’s grant of limited, enumerated powers to the national government does not include the right to regulate either public health or all business in the land,” Yoo, now a University of California at Berkeley law professor, wrote bluntly in National Review. “Our federal system reserves the leading role over public health to state governors. States possess the ‘police power’ to regulate virtually all activity within their borders.”

LOL,

Even that constitutional lawyer that the GOP selected to give a contrary opinion in the impeachment hearings, wouldn't buy into this one.

Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law professor at George Washington University who was the sole witness called by Republicans before the Judiciary Committee in the impeachment inquiry into Trump, refuted Trump's claim in a tweet: "The Constitution was written precisely [to] deny that particular claim. It also reserved to the states (& individuals) rights not expressly given to the federal government."

Oh no, now Barr, Cheney and Turley are Deep State Libtards.

7 months to go.
