Listener Comments, Project 2025, presidential immunity, and what can Biden do before inauguration?
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum share some of the amazing comments we’ve gotten from you, our NLP fam, along with a replay of three of our best segments that feel especially relevant now:
What’s up with Project 2025? The 900+ page document that outlines the republican plan to replace tens of thousands of public employees in the FBI, Department of Justice, and more with conservative loyalists. The plan could change the federal government as we know it.
IMMUNE. That’s what the Supreme Court said a president will be for any “official” act taken while in office. To quote the dissenting opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, “Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune… In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.”
AND Biden’s laid out some of his priorities for the remainder of his term, like Supreme Court reform, but how can he actually get that done? And what other bold actions could he take now that he’s a lame duck? The hosts dream BIG.
