Jeffrey Toobin is CNN's chief legal analyst, but he seems to be clueless about the fact that the 25th Amendment can only be invoked when a president is either physically or mentally incapacitated. It was never intended to be used in case high level officials decided that they just didn't like a president.
Yet somehow Toobin allowed his obvious dislike for President Donald Trump to, well, trump any basic legal sense on his part on Monday's The Situation Room to declare that it was "patriotic" for FBI and DOJ officials to discuss Trump's removal from office via the 25th Amendment even though to do so would have been plainly unconstitutional.

Its only “Patriotic” when its a Republican who is President..if they had done the same thing against Barack Obama there would have been blood in the streets
Too bad they didn’t discuss it about Obama.
In all fairness, perhaps President Trump can reopen Fort Monroe, where Jefferson Davis spent some time, so that these individuals may have the quietude necessary to contemplate the error of their ways.
Is DOJ a law enforcement agency or the Gestapo?
EVERY DAMNED ONE OF THEM IS THE SES, and this law needs to go.
Lets cut to the chase...YES YES YES...Who can start this ball rolling...election reform now immediately before 2020...so many issues...lets go go go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might be worth this asshat doing a little light reading...
Muscular pencil neck
Democrats are evil.
First it’s not at all clear that the 25th Amendment was passed legally. But even if it was, Trump is clearly the most mentally fit president in modern times.
All of this shows how dangerous the Russia Witch Hunt is. It is past time to shut it down, pardon all of its targets and then destroy all the documents, computer files, tapes and other kinds of “work product” created by the Witch Hunt. Every member of the Witch Hunt staff should be arrested, sent to long prison terms, and forbidden to talk, write or send smoke signals about the Witch Hunt ever again.
In any event, the 25th Amendment is reserved for invocation by the Vice President and the Cabinet, NOT bureaucrats at DOJ and FBI. Patriots my ass!
