In this week's History and Politics Chat, I answer the following questions: 1. Addressing the assertion that my newsletters and view biased on the liberal side, and the importance of facts and evidence. 2. Explaining the Supreme Court’s oral arguments from this morning about congressional oversight of the President. 3. What are the long-term implications of a Supreme Court that leans to the right? Can Brett Kavanaugh be removed from office? 4. A couple of questions all together: Why did Barr expose the DOJ to unprecedented scrutiny by dropping the Flynn case? What about “Obamagate?” Could the Trump DOJ investigate or arrest President Obama? What about the nomination of extreme judges? Could this render Congress useless and create an authoritarian regime? Can you talk about the purging of career officials at the CIA, FBI, and Justice Department? 5. What about Trumps comments about the Asian-American CBS reporter yesterday? Can you talk about the history of the Chinese Exclusion Act? 6. Do you see a return to an FDR New Deal after the pandemic and Trump? How easy would it be for the GOP to dismantle the Constitution if Trump wins reelection? What parallels and differences do I see between now and the recovery in 1932? Am I more discouraged in my writings than I have been? Want more History & Politics Chat?
