Biden wasn't even aware of what was going on or who was signing with the autopen, but Yale is just sure President Trump is the real risk to national security.

They don’t even pretend there’s not the deep state.

https://keywiki.org/Harold_Koh

Harold Hongju Koh served as the Legal Adviser of the Department of State. He was nominated to this position by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2009, and confirmed by the Senate on June 25, 2009.

In 2009, NAKASEC held a fundraiser called “Rooted in Movement.”[1],[2]

The Honorable Harold Koh, United States Department of State

Phillip Burton Award
Harold Koh, Dean and Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law at Yale Law School, was the recipient of the Phillip Burton Award, at the 2006 Phillip Burton Immigration & Civil Rights Awards, from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, in the Bay Area.[3]

Obama appointment
In March 2009 Harold Koh was nominated[4]by the Obama administration for the position of Legal Advisor in the DOS and confirmed in June 2009.

A column in the March 31, 2009 online edition of Investor’s Business Daily IBD, entitled “Who Is Harold Koh?”, provided some details about how Koh viewed international law as being an important consideration in making and interpreting U.S. constitutional law. IBD termed Koh’s internationalist views and actions as being those of “an advocate of what he calls ‘transnational legal process’ and argues that that distinction between U.S. and international law should vanish.”

Koh, a former dean of the Yale Law School, according to IBD, thinks it is “appropriate for the Supreme Court to construe our Constitution in the light of foreign and international law” in its decisions.

On the death penalty, IBD quotes Koh as saying that “The evidence strongly suggests that we do not currently pay decent respect to the opinions of humankid in our administration of the death penalty. For that reason (italics added), the death penalty should, in time, be declared in violation of the Eighth Amendment.”

He has submitted amicus briefs in support of the argument that “international and foreign court decisions compelled the Supreme Court to strike down the Texas law (anti-sodomy laws), in the case “Lawrence v. Texas”.

Regarding Islamic Shariah law, IBD wrote that “He also values the opinions of the world’s imams. A New York lawyer, Steven Stein, says Koh in 2007 told the Yale Club of Greenwich that ‘in an appropriate case, he didn’t see any reason why Shariah law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.’”

IBD also listed other leftist positions that Koh has taken on key issues, including the following:

Koh thinks America is the bad guy on the world stage. He blasted Operation Desert Storm as a violation of international law despite the U.N.’s blessing. {KW: It freed invaded Kuwait from Saddam Husseins forces}.
He supported the Sandinista move to get the International Criminal Court to force Congress to cut off funding of the Contras in Nicaragua. {KW: This funding helped the freedom fighters to continually defeat the Marxist army of the FSLN to the point that they were forced to agree to internationally monitored free elections, in which they lost decisively to the non-communist, democratic opposition forces}.
In 2004, after Operation Iraqi Freedom OIF had begun, Koh lumped the U.S. in with North Korea as part of an “axis of disobedience” regarding international law.
Koh says the Supreme Court is now divided between “nationalist” judges who believe our Constitution is the only one that counts and “transnationalists” who believe “we the people” should be changed to “we are the world.”

Koh did not get the position as the top Legal Advisor to the State Department.

Leftists always think the U.S. constitution is just a suggestion.

Leftists are not only an existential threat to the United States, they’re an existential threat to the world. They are the true national security threat anywhere and everywhere they gain a foothold in government and in a country’s culture. They simply corrupt and destroy everything good and viable they touch.

He obstructed investigations, covered up offenses and attacked investigators and the media.

The typical spin and dishonesty.

“If re-elected, could President Trump, by a single tweet, withdraw America from the United Nations, NATO, and every treaty and international organization to which the U.S. belongs?”


They talk like those would be bad things.

Well gosh, if our ELECTED representative(s) is not to have such power, then pray tell, who is?

That’s the part they don’t want to say out loud.

“Historically, Americans have asked the President to protect us from national security threats. But what should we now do if and when the President himself becomes a national security threat?”

This rotten Korean son of a bit@h. This is nothing but a dog whistle for assassins. This is literally the kind of crap rhetoric that went around about JFK the year before his murder. I hope people are keeping a list of the ones who stoked the fire if god forbid, someone succeeds.

This guy is arguing that the president exercising his normal power interferes with something he calls the “national security constitution”.

“The National Security Constitution in the 21st Century argues that since the beginning of the Republic, a “National Security Constitution” has evolved within our constitutional law. That body of law promotes shared powers and balanced institutional participation in foreign policymaking. Today it is under attack from a competing claim of executive unilateralism generated by recurrent patterns of presidential activism,”

Okay, so how about a war on all federally funded private universities in the Northeast? Harvard is a good start, but the rest need to come under hellfire as well.

Harold Hongju Koh is Sterling Professor of International Law at Yale Law School. He returned to Yale Law School in January 2013 after serving for nearly four years as the 22nd Legal Adviser of the U.S. Department of State. https://law.yale.edu/harold-hongju-koh

Worked for the dumbest SOS in the history of the US. Imagine going from Blinken to Rubio. We have a vision of hell and heaven.

Here is the intro to his book The National Security Constitution.

AS JOE BIDEN FINISHES FOUR YEARS as the forty-sixth president of the United States, memories of Donald Trump’s tumultuous presidency have started to fade. But before those memories recede, it is worth asking whether the excesses of the Trump administration were an aberration, attributable to a single man, or the revelation of a deeper disorder in our constitutional system. This book suggests the latter: that the past several decades have witnessed the steady erosion of what I called more than thirty years ago the “National Security Constitution,” the substructure of U.S. constitutional norms that protects the operation of checks and balances in national security policy. Koh, Harold Hongju (2024-06-24T23:58:59.000). The National Security Constitution in the Twenty-First Century . Yale University Press. Kindle Edition.

And in the acknowledgements he proves he is a worthy servant of the deepstate

Starting in the late 1990s, I took leave from Yale to serve under three more presidents and secretaries of state: as assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights, and labor under the late Madeleine Albright in the Clinton administration (1998–2001), as Legal Adviser of the State Department under Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Obama administration (2009–2013), and as senior adviser (the only political appointee) in the same Legal Adviser’s Office under Antony Blinken during 2021, the first year of the Biden administration.

Like I said, WAR on New England publicly funded private universities - all of them.
