Creator of Godwin’s Law says it’s OK—and necessary—to compare Trump to Hitler
“Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy,” wrote attorney and author Mike Godwin. “And that’s why Godwin’s Law isn’t violated—or confirmed—by the Biden reelection campaign’s criticism of Trump’s increasingly unsubtle messaging. We had the luxury of deriving humor from Hitler and Nazi comparisons when doing so was almost always hyperbole. It’s not a luxury we can afford anymore.”
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign posted to social media a graphic likening Trump’s recent rhetoric—including his statement that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”—to Hitler’s and arguing that the similarities are “not a coincidence.”
Jack Smith asks high court for ‘immediate, definitive decision’ on Trump’s immunity claim
Special counsel Jack Smith responded on Thursday after Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to reject a petition to decide if he has presidential immunity from prosecution.In a filing, Smith explained why he was taking the unusual step of asking to bypass the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
That’s a good first step. The constitution is pretty clear in terms of what is necessary to be eligible for the office of President, and he isn’t. He should’nt even be a citizien any more.

Section 5 of the 14th. Overturned in 30 seconds. Congress enforces the 14th, not the states or the courts.
