Buckle up everyone--here is my response to the second video in the White House/Hillsdale college series on "American Independence." (spoiler: the second video is every bit as bad as the first one)
As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution").
There are so many errors that it is hard to know where to begin. But I'll try

Reading Ernst Fraenkel for class tomorrow. His discussion of the ways German courts accommodated the Nazi coup is so good — and has more than a few upsetting resonances.

In the brief, Jane Manners argues that the history is clear: presidents don’t have unfettered authority to remove independent agency officials, such as FTC Commissioner Slaughter. Read: bit.ly/4nSvm9B

A new paper from Gary Lawson & me:
"Presidential Removal as Article I, Not Article II"
Limits on congressional power to create independent agencies like the Fed & FTC don't come from Art II "Executive Power" absolutism.
See the Necessary and Proper Clause instead:

As a matter of original public meaning, Article I's Necessary and Proper clause is the starting point for both Congress's power to create offices and the limits

I don’t want to dunk on Blanche; I want to understand him. Is it just a matter of what we focus on? Ie: he can’t see past the Smith documents case and doesn’t think Ed Martin is a big deal?
Or is this not meant to be a truthful statement? He knows it’s misleading but it’s useful for him to say?

Fantastic thread
Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

12) With the way the CR/minibus fight ended, real doubts about whether the Dems are smart... at least their leadership. Republicans negotiated good cop, bad cop, crazy cop.
What was the Dem ldrship negotiating strategy? Pretend to be one way to the public and another in private. Not good.

7) If it were me, I wouldn't agree to fund the FSGG approps bill that funds the WH/OMB without policy riders that take away the administration's funding to pursue things like impoundment, etc. Why should Russ Vought have any staff? Saying "no" here is a policy win. If they do it.
