Joe Biden for authoritarian

Apparently, some terribly misguided law professors think that Joe Biden has the authority to ignore the Supreme Court rulings if he doesn't like them. Apparently, these misguided professsors think that Joe Biden is a dictator, not a president. Jonathan Turley didn't let them off easy, writing "I shall resist any illegal federal court order.'" Prof. Turley then used another quote that said "When 'the Court’s interpretation of the Constitution is egregiously wrong,' the president should refuse to follow it."

Then Prof. Turley gave these professors a history lesson, writing "Those two statements were made roughly 60 years apart. The first is from segregationist Alabama Gov. George Wallace (D). The second was made by two liberal professors this month. In one of the most chilling developments in our history, the left has come to embrace the authoritarian language and logic of segregationists in calling for defiance and radical measures against the Supreme Court."

It's time to admit that these misguided professors have ripped their masks off to reveal their true identities. It's time to admit that's who today's far-left is. It's impossible to find common ground with misguided Marxists like "Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet and San Francisco State University political scientist Aaron Belkin." The Constitution doesn't give presidents the authority to ignore a co-equal branch of government, in this instance the Judicial Branch.

Then there's this:

However, even if these measures were popular, it would not make them right. It is precisely what segregationists such as Sen. James Eastland (D-Miss.) argued, that "all the people of the South are in favor of segregation. And Supreme Court or no Supreme Court, we are going to maintain segregated schools."

Tushnet and Belkin cite with approval Biden’s declaration that this is "not a normal Supreme Court." Biden’s view of normalcy appears to be a court that agrees with his fluid view of constitutional law, by which he can forgive roughly a half of trillion dollars in loans or impose a national eviction moratorium without a vote of Congress.

Biden is right in that this isn't a normal Supreme Court. It's a court that doesn't think the Constitution gave the Court the authority to act as a legislature. It's a court that doesn't think the Constitution gave presidents the authority to become authoritarians. This Supreme Court doesn't think that the Constitution gave the Legislative Branch the authority to do things that are assigned to the Executive branch.

This is worth fighting for:
