Jonathan Turley Has Two Words for Ron Klain’s Big Misstep on Biden’s Vaccine Mandate

“… breathtakingly daft …”

By Nick Arama | Sep 10, 2021 6:45 PM ET

Jonathan Turley – “The retweet was breathtakingly daft on the eve of litigation over the order. It is reminiscent of President Biden admitting that his own White House counsel and their preferred legal experts all said that the eviction moratorium extension was likely unconstitutional,” Turley told Fox News on Friday.

“Courts will now be asked to ignore the admission and uphold a self-admitted evasion of constitutional limits,” Turley added. The “problem is that the thing being ‘worked around’ is the Constitution.” [….]

“Klain effectively became a witness for the challengers in labeling the order an evasion or subterfuge designed for the courts. Klain leaves the courts in the unenviable position of ratifying an order that the Administration admits is a mere work around to evade constitutional limits. It is akin to claiming self-defense in an assault case while saying that it was the best way to shoot the guy,” Turley said. [….]

“Ironically, Democratic groups long argued that such public comments from Trump or his staff should be treated as official statements. Courts regularly used Trump tweets in reviewing challenges in fields like immigration.”

He added that Klain’s retweet “can be referenced by the courts as illustrative of the motive behind this obviously awkward avenue for a mandate. It is not determinative. However, it is relevant.”

It would be appropriate if they got hung by the same argument that they’ve made in the past about President Donald Trump’s comments.

Turley also noted that while the attempted use of OSHA is “clever,” were you to allow it, it would mean that OSHA could mandate anything even if it had nothing to do specifically with the workplace or the job per se and that might just be a little too far for the federal courts to go. Turley said that by this move, Biden is exposing himself to yet another loss, to add to the impressive list of losses that he’s already been handed in such a short time by the federal courts.

Obama is playing the run out the clock game. Yes, I typed Obama. If you really think Biden is running this show, you’re dumber than he is.

Obama is a bigger cunt than Hillary. Calling that douche a man is an insult to men.

Obama only reached middle management in his first selection…upper middle management in his second selection.

He is not even in the back row of the chess board.

Hillary is yesterday’s news paper and Bill is a warm can of beer.

If you took one ball off Hilary and gave it to 0bama they’d both have two.

And who do you think is running Obama? Certainly not Obama, right?

From the makeup of Biden’s cabinet and beyond, it’s obvious ((Who)) it is.

Maybe not, but only Brits can say “daft” without sounding like a tool.

if the CDC could strip out private property rights and grant abode dwellers an indeterminate free ride, surely OSHA has the authority to enforce Covid diktats, and the SCROTUS will sanctify all manner of constitutional torture and perversion.

The democrat communists have managed to make an old man with dementia the face of their evil actions. Now if the students start chanting fuck the democrats then we might be getting somewhere.
