1. NOT the onion???

[highplainsdem]

2. WTF? Does she think he should have residual command of the military as well?

Use of the White House and Air Force One on weekends?

[agingdem]

6. you can bet the lawyers at the DOJ

are ready to file an appeal within minutes of Ass-kissing Aileen's crap decision...and someone should let Obama know as a former president he, too, can make executive decisions from the comfort of his home..

[Aristus]

16. Or residual power to sign congressional legislation?

[asiliveandbreathe]

3. Dear Judge Cannon, I, President Joe Biden, DO NOT extend executive privilege

to DJ Pig tRump..there is NO residual privilege and just by asking the question ..your biass is showing..

[TheBlackAdder]

4. There is no way she came up with that shit.

[2naSalit]

20. She's too...

Wet behind the ears to have any understanding of what she's trying to do. She should end up in big trouble.

She should have recused and sent the whole clown show packing.

5. Lawd today! Residual executive privilege??? That's right up there with "alternative facts".

[empedocles]

7. ''Residual Privilege''

This is the best analogy I've seen - Trump having use of Air Force One after January 20, 2021 as a private citizen

''Trump’s claim is no different than if he flew away on Air Force One and refused to give the plane back. And if she recognizes executive privilege here, it’s like saying he has a continuing interest in a quarter of the seats on the plane.''

11. LOL!!

8. Expanding the rights of the executive branch is what fascism is all about

Impasses in the legislative branch, stacked courts top to bottom in the judicial branch.

From President to Dictator. That's the path they're leading us on.

9. note that Trump's lawyers are calling him PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP in court. nt

10. This is from the Federalist Society, pronounced, "Fascist Society."

The Crypto-Nazi's are coming out of the woodwork and it is time to start labeling the Fascists with what they can no longer conceal. When you collect the behavior of the representatives the Federalist Society has put forward, it sure looks like their works support Putin more than they support the United States of America. They support Corporate power over Federal power. A republic is based on the will of the people, so it is quite clear that the Federalist society is anti-democracy, anti-republic and anti-constitution. Where is the basis of Citizens United? It's not constitutional and it is not based on precedent or a desire for equal representation under the law.

12. NEXT: Supreme Court rules Trump is entitled to residual pardon power and residual use of Oval Office

and Air Force One

[Jim__]

13. I guess we can go up to the Supreme Court with this garbage.

Then Alito can search the history books and if nothing denies residual privilege, it must exist.

[MineralMan]

14. Trump Is Nothing If Not a Residual President.

He left plenty of residue.

[ultralite001]

15. Residual, eh???

Dirty... Nasty... Disgusting...

ETTD...





That is all...

[tavernier]

17. But Carter, Bush, Clinton and Obama get first dibs

And they’ll make sure there are no leftovers.

18. When All Else Fails And You're Backed Into A Corner -Invent A New Term & Make Up Some....

sort of story that can be used to support the new term.

"Residual Privilege" certainly sounds impressive. Maybe we can at least get the MAGA's to believe this.

[bluestarone]

19. Who has SHE been discussing this with?

THIS stinks to hi-heaven!

[Grasswire2]

23. She's Federalist Society member nt

[WarGamer]

22. I'd never heard of this before... so I googled it.

Found quite a bit of info... it wasn't just a made-up phrase by Judge Cannon.
