We still give accused terrorists due process, yet the rule of law is collapsing

🎙️ @jaketapper.bsky.social, @johnfugelsang.bsky.social, and I talk about the bitter irony that we still honor due process in terrorism cases — even as the rule of law collapses around us.

The indictment of Letitia James makes clear that calling it an attempted coup is no exaggeration.

The Posse Comitatus Act began as a reactionary move against Reconstruction, blocking the Army from protecting newly freed citizens.

Now, in a bitter twist, it’s one of the few guardrails left to defend democracy. Our new episode is up.

The rule of law is slipping away.

Stephen Miller loves to play lawyer. Lest there be any doubt, he has no idea what he is talking about.

THIS PODCAST WAS FANTASTIC!!

Nance’s take that our current situation is more like 1774 under Mad King George’s Intolerable Acts rather than 34/36 Germany was instructive. And reminding us that Trump’s intent is not to “communicate but to manipulate” with his words was something MSM ignores.

On today’s The Oath and The Office, @malcolmnance.bsky.social joins me and @johnfugelsang.bsky.social to break down why the fight for democracy is an information war.

We also dig into the shutdown — another front in the struggle to save our democracy.
