They’re advocating the illegal takeover of the constitution. This is getting spooky because Biden will do it.

These so-called “law professors” sound like a bunch of JaySix Insurrectionist fags. Advising a demented, cranky old pedophile to ignore the SCOTUS should be enough to throw their insurrectionist asses in prison.

George Wallace, Ross Barnett, and other Southern governors attempted to defy Supreme Court rulings. Presidents Kennedy and Eisenhower met their defiance with regular US Army soldiers and nationalizing the State National Guards. However, if President Biden decided to defy the Supreme Court as Andrew Jackson did regarding the Indian Trail of Tears, he can do so with the only restraint being impeachment. He will not be removed from office with the current composition of the United States Senate.

Just incredibly wrong in every way. "Popular Constitutionalism?" WTF is that? The Constitution handbook on my desk mentions no such thing. If any of these so-called scholars from Harvard ever read that document or all the correspondence between the FFs, or their published statements, or their diaries, or their debates, they would find they have been wrong all along.

"Restoring Democracy". WTF again? They now have some who will fight for our Constitutional Republic and not democracy MOB rule which killed Greece and Rome where self-rule began.

Harvard Law School has become an indoctrination center for Socialists and Communists It was once highly regarded as an education institution. No more...what a shame.

Problem with that..
You get a license to practice law from the bar.
The bar is a private organization.
It answers to no one or to no government entity.
And it’s controlled by leftists.

Biden’s handlers and advisors run him. He does what he is told to do and probably has no memory of what he has done. He is the ultimate useful idiot for the soviet arm of the dimrat party.

"Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet and San Francisco State University political scientist Aaron Belkin penned "An Open Letter to the Biden Administration on Popular Constitutionalism" to respond to what Biden has called "not a normal court" following high-profile cases."

Each of them needs to be FIRED, and if they have a law license, have that REVOKED.

Eff that. Bastards of this magnitude need to get some bodyguards.

Just because you dont agree with it is not a valid reason to violate law.

Just because you are offended by something doesnt make you right.

Belkin served for 24 years as founding director of the Palm Center, which the Advocate named as one of the most effective LGBTQ rights organizations in the nation. He designed and implemented much of the public education campaign that eroded popular support for military anti-gay discrimination, and Harvard Law Professor Janet Halley said of Belkin that, “Probably no single person deserves more credit for the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’” When the military lifted its transgender ban in 2016, a senior Pentagon official said during a White House Ceremony that the Palm Center was one of the organizations most responsible for helping the Pentagon formulate inclusive policy for transgender troops.

George Washington University law professor and legal expert Jonathan Turley penned an op-ed for The Hill on Saturday that warned about this interpretation of the Constitution.

"What is most striking about these professors is how they continue to claim they are defenders of democracy, yet seek to use unilateral executive authority to defy the courts and, in cases like the tuition forgiveness and affirmative action, the majority of the public. They remain the privileged elite of academia, declaring their values as transcending both constitutional and democratic processes," Turley wrote.

Turley is a good guy, a really good guy. A libertarian / liberal and still very constitutionally sound.

“Eff that. Bastards of this magnitude need to get some bodyguards.”

While I doubt I’d be saying a eulogy for these bastards if their lives are ‘abbreviated’, I’d be perfectly happy to see them fired and disbarred. They can learn to code at that point, for all I care.

Not good enough. Those that advocate for complete overthrow of the Constitution deserve much more exacting treatment.

"We urge resident Biden to restrain MAGA justices immediately by announcing that if and when they issue rulings that are based on gravely mistaken interpretations of the Constitution that undermine our most fundamental commitments, the Administration will be guided by its own constitutional interpretations," they wrote.

Tushnet and Belkin obviously don't understand how the US system of government works - if their respective universities had any academic integrity at all, they would both be fired. They obviously are not capable of teaching their students anything real.

I believe these professors could make the case that Biden’s defiance of the Supreme Court would be in keeping with the actions of President Lincoln.

Just the mention of Lincoln’s name would attract liberals and others who have been deprived of history education for the past 60 years.
