Former US AG files brief in district court claiming Fani’s prosecution of Trump violates Supremacy Clause of Constitution

Not everyone in D.C. is a scuzzy swamp rat. In fact, there are still some seasoned politicians who stand as staunch defenders of the Constitution. Among these patriots is none other than Edwin Meese, former U.S. Attorney General during the Reagan era.

At the ripe old age of 91, Meese has not only offered his perspective on the Georgia racketeering (RICO) trial involving former DOJ Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, and calling it as a “noteworthy challenge to federal authority,” but he also has some harsh words for Fani Willis and her weak case against President Trump.

Meese has now taken the giant step of submitting a brief in U.S. District Court, arguing that Fani Willis has infringed upon the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution.

It’s truly remarkable to see a 91-year-old man dedicating time and effort to this cause. May God bless him for his commitment to this country. Here’s a detailed image from a portion of the Meese brief:

I remember Edwin Meese from his time with Reagan; can’t think of anything that was outright negative in how he handled the job. Have to agree that he was, in general, a very honorable man.

"SCOTUS is not the law enforcer of the DOJ"

Recall that the article is key in the English language.

And I meant what I said. At this point in history, the entire judiciary is flirting with delegitimizing itself. An extraordinary intervention is required.

If they want to play out through the appeals process, they achieve the goal of the people who conjured up this un-Constitutional, arrogant power grab: the process itself is designed to handicap a presidential candidate. They know it won't survive scrutiny. The point is, by the time that happens, the damage is done...which is what they want.

You don't think a half-wit affirmative action law skool graduate like Willis thought it all up on her own, didja?

“Meese is saying that if we accept Willis’ interpretation here, Arizona could have arrested Barack Obama and Eric Holder for meeting to discuss how to overturn Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration bill in 2010”

Precisely. Was even thinking about Fast and Furious as a similar situation, but your example is better.

And as much as we would have all WANTED to do that, nobody proposed it for exactly the reasons Meese gave.

Ronald Reagan once said, “If Ed Meese is not a good man, there are no good men.”

If the Federal court rejects this, then AG Paxton of Texas can begin charges against Majorkas and Biden on their conspiracy to facilitate illegal immigration and destroy the country.

“Y’all can subtract 40 from your age.”

The fact that when I wake up in the morning and my body cracks like a glowstick whenever I move yet fails to actually glow is highly disappointing.

What is truly remarkable is how absent has been the GOP through all this lawfare abuse!

Yes. Yes they could.

And then send the Texas Rangers to go arrest them in D.C. after indictment by a local Texas grand jury.
