25th Amendment attacks on Trump are “HOOEY” say Howard Dean and Jonathan Turley
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

On today’s Morning Joe, after accusing President Trump of “impairment,” Howard Dean said that “people keep talking about” the 25th Amendment as a means to remove the president from office. But Dean immediately poured cold water on the notion, saying “I personally think that’s probably hooey.”

Law professor Jonathan Turley agreed with Dean: “Yes, indeed, that falls under the constitutional doctrine of hooey.” Turley went on to describe the complicated procedures under the 25th Amendment, which would ultimately require a two-thirds majority in both houses of congress. Concluded Turley: “the 25th Amendment is not a really good option.”

The democrats are playing a game they cannot win. Either they compromise and show humility or they are destroyed.
It does not matter to his supporters that Trump acts badly. Destroying progressive politics, destroying the lying press, building the wall, growing the economy and draining the swamp are the real agenda. Trump has these goals firmly in hand.
