This must be their new talking point

Not sure they're getting their money's worth for a charlatan who pretends to channel the framers and poses as an originalist, but comes up with hare-brained legal "thoughts" unsupported by the original text.

Asshole

Talking point was desperate nonsense. They keep throwing spaghetti at the wall and nothing is sticking. They can’t bullshit their way out of this one. I think his goose is finally cooked.

yeah, the founders would definitely have thought:

"hmm, let's imagine a situation where we've just learned that the president is a tyrant, he's completely inappropriate for the office, he's committed treason, bribery, and high crimes and misdemeanors. he's abusing, misusing, and neglecting the office. let's agree such a tyrant should most certainly be kept in office if an election is held winthin 365 days."



this is completely idiotic. there's absolutely zero chance that they would be saying this if a democratic president was caught jaywalking 3 days before an election. they'd be pulling all-nighters to rush through impeachment if they could.

Of course, 2020 will be “different”, because uh, reasons.

a Trump nominated SCOTUS judge next year

in an election year is getting longer. I’m noticing the chyron in the OP that says 2020 Dems rant and rave about impeachment...really? The only ranting and raving being done is by snowflake repukes who are in the crosshairs of the impeachment inquiry. Projection on steroids.

Guy who thinks it’s constitutional to crush a child’s testicles if the president orders it has thoughts on impeachment

He can kindly go fuck himself...

His ideas of the powers of the executive would have been appalling to the Founders and he has no ground to stand on when it comes to claiming to know what they intended. Especially considering most of his opinions read as though he has never once picked up the Federalist papers or even bothered to read the fucking constitution any more that to twist it to his personal views.

might have had a grandfather or great grandfather among the Founding Fathers - it was only 81 years from the ratification in 1787 to 1868

I spoke to John Yoo shortly before the 2016 election and he called Trump "the classic demagogue described well in the Federalist Papers that our system is designed to stop" based on his disregard for the law. Guess he decided that issue has been solved. http://nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/analysis-vengeful-world-donald-trump-why-it-matters-n671721 …

Of course, Republicans have no problems with hypocrisy

along with Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Bush

A lot of historians are going to be dunking on John Yoo for these idiotic comments, so please -- form an orderly line.
