If at First You DON’T (Constitutionally) SUCCEED, Try TRY AGAIN

Published

on



According to Mary and Andrew, recent moves by President Trump’s administration have been following a pattern: “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.” The co-hosts begin by breaking down the flurry of news surrounding mail voting, starting with Monday afternoon’s decision by the Supreme Court to allow President Trump’s executive order curtailing mail voting to proceed, though not issuing a decision on the merits of the order. They discuss that decision in conjunction with the Postal Service’s announcement on Friday for a final rule that would comply with the executive order, a move that Andrew calls a proxy for the government to “have the Postal Service act in a way that has a clearly disproportionate impact on certain voters.”

Then, a conversation about birthright citizenship after a motion was filed yesterday rejecting Trump’s executive orders that attempt to limit the legal principle. Plus, an analysis of the Second and Ninth Circuit Court’s rulings disqualifying U.S. Attorneys that were improperly appointed by Trump and a quick nod to Minnesota suing the governor of Texas for not extraditing an ICE agent accused of shooting a man in Minneapolis.

Tune in next week as we switch to Wednesday morning releases — and video editions of Main Justice available on YouTube.

Are you  ̶s̶k̶i̶p̶p̶i̶n̶g̶  missing President Trump’s two-day ‘Trumpapalooza’ rally this week in Dallas? It’s OK, you’re not alone.

So are many GOP lawmakers, who say they’re busy with weddings, football games, and even a dove-hunting event in Oklahoma …

Or maybe they’re trying to distance themselves from Trump’s disastrous policies ahead of the midterm elections? 🤔
