(12,607 posts)The Texas mess goes before them tomorrow, but I don't know when we will get an answer from them. They have been going pretty fast on all this because they know how important it is.

(82,849 posts)The popular media are going to have their work cut out for them in both-siding the shit out of it. That'll be pretty tough, so I'm going to guess that they'll normalize it, as if a sitting president threatening justices is something that happens all the time. You know, like a sitting president calling state legislators and elections officials to bully them into doing things his way. We're already past that point, and nobody in the media seems to think there's anything untoward about that.

(8,082 posts)NOT because it's too "liberal"...which is the lie of this century and the last! It's because the media is so owned by the 1% and their billionaire supporters.
They really are treating this president as if this is the way our country runs. And it's their fault to begin with that we got trump in there to begin with.

The People's Court (German: Volksgerichtshof) was a Sondergericht ("special court" of Nazi Germany, set up outside the operations of the constitutional frame of law. Its headquarters were originally located in the former Prussian House of Lords in Berlin, later moved to the former Königsberg Wilhelmsgymnasium at Bellevuestrasse 15 in Potsdamer Platz (the location now occupied by the Sony Center; a marker is located on the sidewalk nearby).[1]
The court was established in 1933 by order of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, in response to his dissatisfaction at the outcome of the Reichstag fire trial, in which all but one of the defendants were acquitted. The court had jurisdiction over a rather broad array of "political offenses", which included crimes like black marketeering, work slowdowns, defeatism, and treason against the Third Reich. These crimes were viewed by the court as Wehrkraftzersetzung ("disintegration of defensive capability" and were accordingly punished severely; the death penalty was meted out in numerous cases.
