Van Hollen: Trump Attempting to Silence Congress, Suspend the Constitution
Breitbart ^ | 05/11/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/11/2025 11:32:17 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Ali Velshi” that the Trump administration was attempting to silence Congress and suspend the Constitution.

When asked about the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week, Van Hollen said, “The assault that we’re witnessing right now is the Trump administration’s assault on the Constitution and due process rights, and in this case separation of powers and the ability of Congress to get the facts. We even had Stephen Miller, the other day, the president, one of his top advisers, talk about suspending the Constitution, suspending habeas corpus. And at the same time, we have the Trump administration ignoring the 9 to 0 order from The Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, the case that I’ve been involved with, among others.”

He continued, “So that’s what we’re witnessing here. They’re trying to intimidate people. They’re trying to silence people. So this is a moment that we all need to speak out even more strongly.”

Rats are desperate in their pronouncements. And they know MSNBC / Ali Velshi will give them no pushback no matter how ridiculous the claims.

In other news MSNBC’s rating are in the toilet. Meet the new lineup same as the old lineup. They should bring back Joyless Reid, I’m sure she even pulled in some Conservative viewers looking for daily fix of comedy.

Here’s what’s what: EVERYONE in government on both sides of the aisle is passively waiting to spring the trap when Trump is forced to suspend habeas corpus or some like thing. It will be sudden and functionally EVERYONE in congress and the senate will agree that Trump has dismissed the constitution. Overnight the entire government aside from his cabinet will agree and they will act quickly. Very quickly.

Then the hall will be in we the People’s court…

Seems to me that Roberts has already done that:

The judiciary...(has)...the authority to interpret the Constitution as law, and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president

How's that for hubris!

I really liked Van Holllen. Great band. I preferred the Roth years.
