Mr. RASKIN makes absolute sense. Because a president can be impeached, it then goes to figure that same president DOES NOT HAVE ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY. Thank you sir.
Trumps lawers argued during the Senate hearing on his 2021 impeachment that the reason to not impeach him is that he can be convicted for his crimes seapreatly.
On the other hand, that also provides the contra argument - that THE ONLY WAY to provide the necessary limitation of dictatorial power is by impeachment! That process is far more sensitive to random misuse brought on by the quirks of democracy - the relatively frequent (and healthy) change to the balance of Congress - where the detailed rules (aka Federal Laws) are made, after considered debate! The Constitution provides the fundamental guidelines, but it's Law that specifies the detailed rules! And it's Law that sets the actual boundaries (with Trials being used to measure incidents against those rules)! Democracy is really a pretty fragile state, that must be protected, quirks and all, from the dictatorial attacks by the likes of Trump! Fortunately, it does have the tools and practitioners (Law, the Constitution et al) to do so! I'm sure it will succeed - in spite of the present attacks!
The Supreme Court should be listening to Jamie Raskin as he goes through the pertinent parts of your Constitution and points out all the claims that Trump makes are dead wrong, and as such, the Supreme Court should affirm the original decision that Trump has no absolute Presidential Immunity at all.
They set up immunity for themselves practically too by not agreeing to their own ethics. . Clarence should be barred because of claiming he had no idea his wife was connected to the election denial allegations and Jan 6 bs..and just for being misleading avoidance and deceitful... among other things... 2 of the justices blaming their wives for political things too ... grounds for divorce in my book .. I couldn't stay around any man or anyone blaming me for such B's just to remain in a certain lifestyle or for any reason... I wouldn't need him around... find a way to take care of myself no matter what. Money is not better than honesty , love, trust and so much like being honorable and good character .. what some people value is beyond comprehension sometimes ... some of it you can't depend on, some of it doesn't last forever

Thank you Senator Raskin for being there to save our democracy, i am hoping that these SCOTUS judges that are trying to circumnavigate the constitution will be held accountable for their actions!
This SCOTUS take over by the Federalist Society has been a long planned strategy taking years, plus with some well placed McConnell maneuvering, to be in total control of every judicial decisions regarding those rulings favorable to far-right imposters claiming to be a guardian of democracy but instead are all laughing in our face while counting their evil gains at the cost of our freedoms and democracy. There's rats in the cupboards.
@@Jerseylady I believe it's "Representative Raskin", or "the honorable Mr Raskin.member for Maryland's 8th district." I'm from the UK, so apologise if I'm wrong.
Jamie Raskin has the GIFT of teaching with clarity in explaining the Constitution meaning. Great speaker and an intellectual that earns his reputation. 🙏 Thank you Sir Jamie Raskin Congressman.
Yep But, if they didn't anything resembling what they ought to have, they wouldn't have bought Trump the time he so desperately needs to get elected and pardon himself
From the United Kingdom. Love listening to Rep. Jamie Raskin & Rep. Jared Moskowitz. They help to educate people from around the world how your constitution is supposed to work. Fasscinated people from all over, who are following the proceedings going on in the USA. Thank you both 👍
I would venture to say that 95% of americans know very little about the constitution and very little about politics. Mr. Raskin is an amazing educator and he is going places. I love this guy.
And this wisdom is buried in some random BTC video with a pointless sensational title. Nobody will ever see this or be able to historically reference these words because of the ridiculous title. It's really a shame because these are critical words spelled out so accurately and concisely
I am not a constitutional scholar, or even all that conversant when it comes to politics...but I know a shyt shoveling carnival barker when I see and hear one. And...I've known this about donnie for decades, as have most people who live by "principles before personalities". FDJT!
You really don't need to know that much about the Constitution to know that the president is not a king and is not all-powerful. This is supposedly a democracy, which has no all-powerful leader. And a republic by definition doesn't have a monarch.
@@rogueninja1685 Well, he also teaches law so he is influencing his students, but this outreach to the internet audience is terrific. Like you, rogueninja, I wish it could be shared more broadly, like....what?
Pete Buttigieg would have been a reasonable candidate for the party ~ as would Bernie S. the way the USA is being run is insane - its like our Gov is broken and they know it, and trying to fake their way through
So true. The focus is on Trump that upset the political insiders system. Obama and Bush did worse things. They are the reason for the $35T. Will be very painful for our children to pay it up.
I looked it up, and Professor Raskin graduated from Harvard Law School, was editor of the Harvard Law Review, and taught Constitutional law for more than 20 years.
Agree with you. Rept. Raskin is eloquent, bright, and articulate; three qualities Trump's Congressional pals like Jordan, Greene, Cruz, and Gosar lack sorely. They're too busy trying to defend their pal Trump for each of Trump's 88 criminal indictments. No US citizen could be facing 88 criminal charges unless he or she had broken at least 1 or 2 of our laws.
Lot of 'the people' demanded cheaper eggs they're calling justice , ya know? I don't identify with the "we the people" gang who demanded justice trump style.... no way😮
Absolutely. I always refer to him as "the crown jewel" in the House. He is a honorable, FAITHFUL man who obviously loves the country, respects the Constitution & takes his service to the constituents in his district VERY seriously. I'm deeply grateful that he's there.
Thank you Mr Raskin. You are brilliant, articulate, knowledgeable, a pleasure to listen to. This country needs teachers and leaders like you. You are defending the constitution and our democratic values. 💙💙💙
he has no facts - - - Each month, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issues Congress’ monthly fiscal report card by cataloging recent federal spending and revenues; signaling to the American people what those updated totals mean for our nation’s subsequent economic health.
Today, CBO released its Monthly Budget Review for July 2023.
Key Takeaway: In the first 10 months of FY 2023 the deficit has amounted to a staggering $1.6 trillion. This is $954 billion (or 131 percent) higher than the same point last year. In just 10 months, the FY 2023 deficit already exceeds last year’s full year deficit by $241 billion. Then Versus Now: Compared to CBO’s May 2023 baseline, the 2023 deficit is now projected to be $1.7 trillion, about $200 billion higher than the May projection of $1.5 trillion. Washington’s Spending Addiction: Spending is $473 billion (or 11 percent higher) and revenues are $418 billion (or 10 percent lower). Economic Red Flags: $1.7 Trillion. CBO expects the deficit will reach $1.7 trillion in 2023, about $200 billion higher than its May 2023 projection of $1.5 trillion. Skyrocketing Interest. The largest spending increase was for interest payments on the debt, which increased by $146 billion (or 34 percent) compared to this time last year. Student Loan Bailout Chaos Hurt the Economy. Spending for the Department of Education increased by $91 billion (or 57 percent), due to President Biden’s student loan bailouts. Never-ending Economic Uncertainty. FDIC spending increased by $52 billion (such spending was negative last year), as the agency dealt with bank failures in the spring. Bidenflation Harming Social Security. Social Security spending increased by $111 billion (or 11 percent), impacted by high inflation. Health Care Spending Continues to Climb. Medicare spending increased by $104 billion (or 18 percent). Similarly, Medicaid spending increased by $29 billion (or 6 percent). To Make Matters Worse: CBO’s monthly budget review for July is further compounded by Fitch Ratings’ August 1 downgrade of the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+ for just the second time in our nation’s history.
I’m Canadian but every time Congressman Raskin and Glen Kirshner and all of your other fabulous guests are on I am getting a US history lesson thank you Brian!
I’m Canadian and follow both of them. Raskin is so smooth. What a great speaker ( no notes) and of course, he is particularly familiar with the constitution.
But they won't, because they don't care. They got their "lifetime appointments" to the Court, they're secure, they don't believe they can be touched. The DOJ needs to remind them of who holds the power in America--even they can be indicted, convicted, and stripped of their position.
VOTE BLUE -- STRAIGHT DOWN THE TICKET ! This is a superb tutorial on Constitutional Law -- how lucky are we to have someone who can explain all of this in a very "user-friendly" way ! Thank you so much, Jamie Raskin for your brilliant insights.
This was their way of helping Trump, by buying time. Kind of like in football you take a knee until the clock runs out. Not allowing justice to take place before the election is held. This supreme court is biased and corrupt.
I love to hear James Raskin. He speaks with intelligence and respect. I also congratulate him on his recovery from his illness....Mr Raskin, you look great...the picture of health.
Exactly, perhaps if the conservative supreme court justices don't understand the constitution on the way it was written. I think it's best that they takes some refresher course on how to do their job former Judge Lutig who is also a Republican he knows the constitution from front to back, this is who I believed. He's is honest, and loves this country and democracy.
Absolutely fantastic politician!! J. Raskin is probably the smartest, most knowledgeable, most astute, most respectable, most loyal and most democratic member of the political system in the US!! HE should be president!!!!❤❤
Definitely YES ! And could it be that Trump would like the power to take over the Supreme Court ? I suspect that PROJECT 2025 has been prepared by some people with inadequate legal skills who think they can curry additional favour from Trump IF they write into PROJECT 2025 additional powers to a President that totally go ABOVE any current rights.
Congressman Jamie Raskin is so articulate and intelligent. Such a sharp contrast with Trump, Greene, Jordan, Gaetz, Graham, Boebert, Cruz, McConnell and the list of morons goes on and on...Vote Blue people because we obviously can't count on SCOTUS to step up and uphold the Rule of Law and bring much needed Justice to the US.
Congressman Raskin is a real jewel! Many others in Congress could learn a lot from him if they'd only listen, hear what he says and learn about the country and rules of government which they have chosen to ignore.
@@tigrrtom Yep. My daughter is 26 and I THINK she might have been required to take Civics. If so, she was likely one of the last age groups to have this requirement in high school. That has got to be rectified. I specifically recall taking Civics in 9th grade, but it was a half-year only, with the other half being Free Enterprise. I honestly don’t know what these kids are learning today.
Does anyone realize all of these democratic party people hate Trump and will do anything not to help this country. Country first. This man is a compulsive liar mostly about Trump
@@jennifer60515 Our students were taught but for whatever reason forgot, maybe because it was not real to them. They will now have a lot of examples of reality now.
Surely one of THE BEST expositions of the amazing US constitution! Thank you,cBryan. Thank you Jamie! Had Harris won on Nov. 5, i have no doubt one of you would be nominated as AG.
I would like to see more politicians explain things as clear as Jamie Raskin does. Educating the voters, he nailed it. He should be the head of the Supreme Court.
At MIDAS TOUCH, many good teachers can be found. Judge Luttig, is also an authority on the Constitution. He loves his country in a non-partisan way with the highest integrity.
Canadian here. The US Supreme Court is now a political entity. Term limits are definitely in order. CC needs to recuse himself from the immunity ruling - he has a conflict in interest in that case.
You are a shining light…someone who really has respect and knowledge and love for our country and what our forefathers hoped would be. The great experiment 🙏
I keep trying to tell this to his cult followers, and they reply with screeching him for president. They must have a death wish for everyone, and America.
I love this series! Jamie Raskin is my favorite Congressperson and a scholar second to none. I tend to set these aside for later viewing, but I make a point to get back to them.
Mr. Raskin, please send this whole series of this to the Supreme Court. 6 of them don't have a clue what the Constitution is. Thank you Brian and Congressman Raskin from the People of the United States of America!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Jamie delineates it perfectly. Since Trump came on the scene it has been a shock to learn how many voters don't understand what a Democracy is. That includes the GOP.
As a South African born Australian who appreciates the value and power of her vote, I am appalled at the ignorance and political naïveté of the Average American I can see and hear on TV. Not only your average guy but people who made it to government. How on earth did they get here?
@@dorothydawn5454 Exactly! The lack of critical thinking skills is appalling. I blame the false modern day preachers and the politicians. But the voters are adults so they must take accountability for their ignorance and delusion at some point.
Not to mention we started out with a huge literacy problem in this country, so many of those voters never stood a chance. I believe they went with their heart which feels lacking and in many cases hatred for those who are unlike them
We need to eject these failures of justices and select some one Supreme Court Justices--people with knowledge of the Constitution, loyalty to the Constitution, morals, ethics and integrity.
Jamie Raskin...what a patriot you are! Thank you for everything you are doing to bring forward the outlaws who are trying to ravage our sacred country. We support your valient efforts to save our beautiful country from the attacks from within and return it to the democracy we are so fortunate to be living in.
We are all getting a college level education on how our government is supposed to operate! This is magnificent! Please continue these blogs for as long as possible! I wish everyone would take the time to learn about this. Americans have been too complacent about our government and justice system for far too long! Thank you so much Jamie and Brian!
![ILLSLICK - KILLSHOT REMIX [FULL VERSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RIK8RrqIAzE/mqdefault.jpg)
I do hope that President Biden appoints Jamie Raskin as a Supreme Court Judge... He has a set of morals that are rather RARE these days
He would be great on the Supreme Court but we also desperately need him to remain in Congress
Amen
That is one of my wishes also.Mr.Raskin is a great and honest politician.👏👏👏😘🇨🇦
YES!!
Great idea! He is brilliant - and honest! 🙏🙏🙏
It's so good to see Congressman Raskin looking so well. He is so articulate and intelligent, it's a pleasure to listen to him. And you too, Brian.
We need term limits for all judges, all Senators, Congress people. No one should have a life time appointment. ✌️💙
I believe that the idea of lifetime positions was that they would not have to curry favor to be re-elected, and could vote their conscience.
@juliasimpson1759, EXACTLY as the SCOTUS NEEDS TERM LIMITS NOW NOT LIFETIME UNTIL THEY PASS AWAY
😅Especially Judges.
Term limits don't help if they don't have serious qualifications placed to keep out extremists or remove them when they show their colors. It doesn't take long for them to create a huge amount of damage as we have recently seen so waiting through term limits isn't good enough.We need to reinstate the checks and balances and vet everyone better from local to federal and all three branches of government. Extreme transparency for all candidates on who they are and what their political stances are is becoming dire.
I do agree that 👏👏👏
This “ Class teaching “ Should be forwarded on all media Especially to each of the justices of the Supreme Court!
Really REALLY enjoy listening to Congressman Raskin. Thank you

Mr. RASKIN makes absolute sense. Because a president can be impeached, it then goes to figure that same president DOES NOT HAVE ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY. Thank you sir.
I love Congressman Raskin's sharp use of logic! He can always count on logic to throw the MAGA minions for a loop.

Absolutely totally agree 💯🇺🇸💙
Could someone let SCOTUS know please?😊
On the other hand, that also provides the contra argument - that THE ONLY WAY to provide the necessary limitation of dictatorial power is by impeachment! That process is far more sensitive to random misuse brought on by the quirks of democracy - the relatively frequent (and healthy) change to the balance of Congress - where the detailed rules (aka Federal Laws) are made, after considered debate! The Constitution provides the fundamental guidelines, but it's Law that specifies the detailed rules! And it's Law that sets the actual boundaries (with Trials being used to measure incidents against those rules)!
Democracy is really a pretty fragile state, that must be protected, quirks and all, from the dictatorial attacks by the likes of Trump! Fortunately, it does have the tools and practitioners (Law, the Constitution et al) to do so! I'm sure it will succeed - in spite of the present attacks!
The Supreme Court should be listening to Jamie Raskin as he goes through the pertinent parts of your Constitution and points out all the claims that Trump makes are dead wrong, and as such, the Supreme Court should affirm the original decision that Trump has no absolute Presidential Immunity at all.
In a nutshell!
Raskin, Pelosi, Schumer Cheney all purposely caused the Insurrection and blamed Trump.
I thought the same.

I’m Canadian and follow both of them. Raskin is so smooth. What a great speaker ( no notes) and of course, he is particularly familiar with the constitution.
👍🇨🇦
SCOTUS should take heed of this brilliant explanation of the constitution.
But they won't, because they don't care. They got their "lifetime appointments" to the Court, they're secure, they don't believe they can be touched. The DOJ needs to remind them of who holds the power in America--even they can be indicted, convicted, and stripped of their position.
Thx Jamie for always explaining THE TRUTH!!!
VOTE BLUE -- STRAIGHT DOWN THE TICKET !
This is a superb tutorial on Constitutional Law -- how lucky are we to have someone who can explain all of this in a very "user-friendly" way ! Thank you so much, Jamie Raskin for your brilliant insights.
Jamie Raskin is the best! What a relief that someone like him is in Washington. I hope he is thinking about running for POTUS someday!
This was their way of helping Trump, by buying time. Kind of like in football you take a knee until the clock runs out. Not allowing justice to take place before the election is held. This supreme court is biased and corrupt.
He is brilliant! Love his smile dealing with this complete insanity!! 😊💙✌🏻
Yes he is but mostly all we hear is trumps voice! Aagggghhjhjjjj!!
I was thinking the same thing but I have heard him say he felt he could do more for the country where he's at
Yes to this! Would love to see Jamie Raskin as our first vegan president!
Yes , Raskin is an absolute Rock Star for Democracy !! 💙💙💙💙💙
I LOVE these mini classes by Jamie Raskin. Respect to him for staying on the side of the constitution and separating right from wrong. Thank you!❤
We can always count on Professor Raskin to illuminate and reassure us. He's amazing.
I love to hear James Raskin. He speaks with intelligence and respect. I also congratulate him on his recovery from his illness....Mr Raskin, you look great...the picture of health.
If the President has ultimate power to do whatever he wants: why bother swearing the oath?
Exactly, perhaps if the conservative supreme court justices don't understand the constitution on the way it was written. I think it's best that they takes some refresher course on how to do their job former Judge Lutig who is also a Republican he knows the constitution from front to back, this is who I believed. He's is honest, and loves this country and democracy.
Swearing oath will be for show to placate us the plebes.
And there is no need for a supreme court either!
According to trump, he didn't swear an oath. He obviously didn't, in his own mind.
Exactly, And also President Biden can do whatever he pleases as well. Correct!
Absolutely fantastic politician!! J. Raskin is probably the smartest, most knowledgeable, most astute, most respectable, most loyal and most democratic member of the political system in the US!! HE should be president!!!!❤❤
Jamie Raskin should be giving this presentation to the Supreme Court !!!!! He should actually be on the Supreme Court !!!!!
Definitely YES !
And could it be that Trump would like the power to take over the Supreme Court ?
I suspect that PROJECT 2025 has been prepared by some people with inadequate legal skills who think they can curry additional favour from Trump IF they write into PROJECT 2025 additional powers to a President that totally go ABOVE any current rights.
Amazing idea!!!
They wouldn't even agree to schedule a meeting to take place... you kidding?? Too bad
I cherish Representative Raskin’s scholarly constitutional lectures. Invaluable to my understanding. Thank you.
From the mouth of a brilliant Constitutional scholar and jurist. We need him in the future!
👍Sen.Jamie Raskin on the supreme court is an excellent idea ! 👍
Congressman Jamie Raskin is so articulate and intelligent. Such a sharp contrast with Trump, Greene, Jordan, Gaetz, Graham, Boebert, Cruz, McConnell and the list of morons goes on and on...Vote Blue people because we obviously can't count on SCOTUS to step up and uphold the Rule of Law and bring much needed Justice to the US.
Yes!
Well stated. 👍
I agree 💯%
Yeah, it's time to bring intelligence back
@BlueDove968
We can't count on the SCOTUS Republicons-
the Trump sympathizers
Jamie Raskin is a bloody hero. A smart man who does things well, respect!
Right on, brother !
@@pecquet-dubalaix8288 He was against that insurrection! What on Earth are you talking about???
Talking about Jamie Raskin...
@@pecquet-dubalaix8288By what kind of bizarre Q-flavored insanity do you consider Jamie Raskin "an insurrectionist"? 😂
@@pecquet-dubalaix8288Lol, what drugs are you high on? Jamie Raskin was NOT an insurrectionist. You seem divorced from reality.
Congressman Raskin is a real jewel! Many others in Congress could learn a lot from him if they'd only listen, hear what he says and learn about the country and rules of government which they have chosen to ignore.
Wow, Brian! These videos with Jamie Raskin are power-packed! Thank you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jamie you are gift to America. God bless you and keep you healthy and safe!
This needs to be seen by every American.
Absolutely agree 🇺🇸💙
I could listen to Jamie Raskin for ever☘️☘️🇨🇮 watching from Ireland. I love his brilliance
Rep. Raskin: You are wonderful teacher and a fine human being. ❤❤ Thank you for everything you do.
Jamie Rascón makes me want to Study The Constitution!!! Thank u congressman Raskin!!!
Thank you Congressman Raskin!!!
This should be required viewing for every American.
Absolutely agree 🇺🇸💙
This is all taught to us dinosaurs back in high school in what was called "Civics" class
@@tigrrtom Yep. My daughter is 26 and I THINK she might have been required to take Civics. If so, she was likely one of the last age groups to have this requirement in high school. That has got to be rectified. I specifically recall taking Civics in 9th grade, but it was a half-year only, with the other half being Free Enterprise. I honestly don’t know what these kids are learning today.
Does anyone realize all of these democratic party people hate Trump and will do anything not to help this country.
Country first.
This man is a compulsive liar mostly about Trump
@@jennifer60515 Our students were taught but for whatever reason forgot, maybe because it was not real to them. They will now have a lot of examples of reality now.
Surely one of THE BEST expositions of the amazing US constitution! Thank you,cBryan. Thank you Jamie! Had Harris won on Nov. 5, i have no doubt one of you would be nominated as AG.
I would like to see more politicians explain things as clear as Jamie Raskin does. Educating the voters, he nailed it. He should be the head of the Supreme Court.
Agreed 👍🏼
Jamie Raskin would make a wonderful President!
At MIDAS TOUCH, many good teachers can be found. Judge Luttig, is also an authority on the Constitution. He loves his country in a non-partisan way with the highest integrity.
I have always wondered why John
Roberts was given the role of Chief Justice. In retrospect it was a mistake. His conservatives are out of control
Absolutely brilliant and educated of the truth.
Now we can only pray the Supreme court follows the rule of law!
Praying is good. Voting is better ! 😊
I have little hope. "Christian" Nationalists are in the majority!
Canadian here. The US Supreme Court is now a political entity. Term limits are definitely in order. CC needs to recuse himself from the immunity ruling - he has a conflict in interest in that case.
Thank you, congressman Raskins !
Thank you Mr. Raskin.
When I see Raskin, I click. Thank you, Brian, for giving exemplary public servants like him an additional platform. His points are always cogent.
I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the constitution from Congressman Jamie Raskin.
Please share this with all the you can.
Love JR (Jamie Raskin). Truly honest and honorable representative. Next have Hakeem Jeffries (HJ) on. Another honorable and honest man
My god, the democratic party have some incredibly great people..
@@joannecleve4718so … go and vote!
You are a shining light…someone who really has respect and knowledge and love for our country and what our forefathers hoped would be. The great experiment 🙏
this needs to be sent to the Supreme Court!! so they can learn their jobs
I’m so thankful we have intelligent empathetic humans like Jamie Raskin fighting for democracy.
Yes, he is highly intelligent, knowledgeable and empathetic. He is the absolute opposite of the ignorant, spiteful and conspiracy loving MTG.
🤔👊🔥✌💫
For sure agree
Really…all cases against Trump are being dismissed! 😂
It's so wonderful to see Jamie Raskin looking so healthy again! I'm so thankful! I admire and trust him so much!
Jamie Raskin is awesome. Thank you for all you do! 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service Mr. Raskin .
The craziest part of this immunity claim is the Extreme Court agreeing to hear the case.
Thank you Jamie Raskin for being one of the best in Congress!
It’s so crazy to think that a President should be above the law - of all people he should be even more accountable. Go Jamie!
Absolutely agree 💯🇺🇸💙
THIS!
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW ⚖ PERIOD NO ONE
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW ⚖ PERIOD NO ONE. TRUMP WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR FOR 1 DAY
All of you democraps must certainly be proud! I don't really understand why but keep your
Jamie Raskin is a highly decent intelligent patriot 👏 on the side of our country and democracy. Vote Blue 💙 up and down ballots
All the way down ticket at the BALLOT BOX folks 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸 Pro-Democracy and Pro-Choice 👍 💙 🇺🇸
Vote PROGRESSIVE!
We're a REPUBLIC DOOFAS
@@DarylRagland-ds1opWe're a democratic constitutional republic, Doofass!
@@DarylRagland-ds1opWe are a Representational Democracy, doofus.
Absolute immunity for trump would equal an absolute loss of all rights for all US citizens.
Agree! VOTE BLUE to save American democracy.
VOTE 🌊 💙 🌊 💙
If they decide the President has FULL immunity for anything, what prevents Biden from hiring a hit-man to take out Trump?
I keep trying to tell this to his cult followers, and they reply with screeching him for president. They must have a death wish for everyone, and America.
Well said. Bravo!
What a treat to have someone explain things to us layman that we understand!
Thank you Congressman Raskin for all you do for our country!! Thank you Brian for your passion and spreading this message!! Vote 💙🇱🇷💙🇱🇷💙🇱🇷
I love this series! Jamie Raskin is my favorite Congressperson and a scholar second to none.
I tend to set these aside for later viewing, but I make a point to get back to them.
Mr. Raskin, please send this whole series of this to the Supreme Court. 6 of them don't have a clue what the Constitution is. Thank you Brian and Congressman Raskin from the People of the United States of America!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Admiration and respect to this lawmaker
I would have enjoyed my senior high school government class, if I had an instructor like Senator Raskin!
What would we do without precious , brave Rep Raskin. ♥️
This Supreme Court would really benefit from this class.
The majority are obviously Corrupt and Need to be Criminally Indicted NOW!!
Thank you Jamie you so wonderful 👍
Jamie delineates it perfectly. Since Trump came on the scene it has been a shock to learn how many voters don't understand what a Democracy is. That includes the GOP.
As a South African born Australian who appreciates the value and power of her vote, I am appalled at the ignorance and political naïveté of the Average American I can see and hear on TV. Not only your average guy but people who made it to government. How on earth did they get here?
IT ALSO INCLUDES MAGA, RUSSIAN REPUBS, MANY OF THE GOP AND SOME OF
THE RIGHT WING US JUSTICES
@@dorothydawn5454
Exactly! The lack of critical thinking skills is appalling. I blame the false modern day preachers and the politicians. But the voters are adults so they must take accountability for their ignorance and delusion at some point.
Not to mention we started out with a huge literacy problem in this country, so many of those voters never stood a chance. I believe they went with their heart which feels lacking and in many cases hatred for those who are unlike them
Sad the SC has to be reminded that we do NOT have KINGS here. Corrupt Court.
They are owned by trump.
We need to eject these failures of justices and select some one Supreme Court Justices--people with knowledge of the Constitution, loyalty to the Constitution, morals, ethics and integrity.
Jamie Raskin...what a patriot you are! Thank you for everything you are doing to bring forward the outlaws who are trying to ravage our sacred country. We support your valient efforts to save our beautiful country from the attacks from within and return it to the democracy we are so fortunate to be living in.
We are all getting a college level education on how our government is supposed to operate! This is magnificent! Please continue these blogs for as long as possible! I wish everyone would take the time to learn about this. Americans have been too complacent about our government and justice system for far too long! Thank you so much Jamie and Brian!
"Defender of Democracy"! Mr.Raskin
