Former Vice President Harris said on Thursday that any checks and balances to hold back President Trump have not worked.

On tour to promote her new book about her campaign, “107 Days,” Harris spoke with journalist and podcaster Kara Swisher at the Warner Theatre to a sold-out audience.

“The point is that the guardrails have failed, for the most part,” Harris said. “Except one, which is the people and the power of God.”

“So right now, in this moment, if the Supreme Court isn’t a guardrail … what is, from a legal point of view, the guardrail that you see?” Harris continued. “Just the people.”

Harris called congressional Republicans “complicit” and said they “know what is wrong and [are] not stepping up.” Instead of “speaking up,” Republicans are “living in fear of retribution and are more invested in their own political survival than speaking up and taking the hits that may come.”

2. Yeah, thanks so much, Merrick Garland.

8. So you think that Chief Justice (since 2005) John Roberts would have done a special "carve out" for Garland

and Smith to actually allow them prosecute 45?

Remember, Roberts has been "in charge" of the SCOTUS since 2005.

11. You tell me?

There is a belief that John Roberts would have allowed a prosecution of 45 - even with him declaring 45's "immunity" by giving Judge Tanya Chutkin a "homework assignment" of determining what "was" or "was not" an "official duty" - and this despite all the lower courts refusing to entertain that "immunity" bullshit.

Roberts halted Chutkin's March pretrial activities and delayed it for an April hearing, and only gave a final ruling to remand back for that fucking "homework", on what would be a last day of the session - the beginning of July 2024.

5. One thing to remember is if Republicans make something illegal then it is your duty to nullify it in the jury box

"Jury nullification"

6. Thanks!

7. The "guardrails" failed catostrophically

when the Thomas court granted Trump immunity from prosecution last Summer. The electorate then knew what the stakes were, and chose either fascism, or not to vote.

Maybe his plane will go down with Stephen Miller and JD Vance onboard.
