Back when I was on X (before the election) I got into it with Lee Kovarsky (law professor from Texas Uni) who was similarly putting forward that it was alarmist. I ended up telling him I think he’ll get his democracy snatched away. Look where things are now.
I’m just a teacher from the UK.

Lee Kovarsky feels strongly that Meadows's attorneys made a huge blunder by not addressing the "colorable federal defense" prong, which Willis does at length, persuasively. I'll be curious to hear what other law-knowers think when they read the briefs side by side.
NEW: Read arguments from both Fani Willis and Mark Meadows on the question of whether, for the sake of federal removal, it would be sufficient to find that only one or some of the charged acts occurred under the color of Meadows’s office.

Univ. of Texas lawprof Lee Kovarsky called it a "blank check" for the Trump II admin: “The House version was basically setting it up so they can violate court orders with impunity, and the Senate version is making it so they can’t be subject to court orders to begin with. They’re both really bad.”

It’ll be difficult to get political will to go after civil servants while the political appointees are immune. And OLC memos will provide some legal cover. If Lederman, Greene, and Kovarsky think that applies to blowing up boats, it’ll go double for paying The Troops.

Don't mean to sound pedantic but just not quite sure if you are asking if there's a defense if it turns out that there is no A2 power to do this and yes I think there is, if there was really an authorizing OLC memo. At least a colorable defense.

bsky.app/profile/kova... I listened to the whole thing & I kind of agree with Lee Kovarsky. I always respect your opinions, but I'm just hoping for something a little more tailored that doesn't throw out the baby with the bath water.

Lee Kovarsky, law professor, describes Trump’s Jan. 6 action as “patronage pardoning” — highly publicized actions that send the message that Trump will protect allies who break the law to advance his agenda. “It’s mafia stuff.” www.themarshallproject.org/2025/07/28/t...
How Trump Is Flouting Government Rules on Pardons to Help Allies
Many of the president’s recent pardons violate Justice Department policies designed to ensure fairness and public safety.

So odd how everyone responding to this negatively… are ALSO constitutional law professors. I do want to be be clear, I absolutely do agree with not “complying in advance.” But come on man, how many lawyers from Russia do you talk to? Posting to tell people to shut up, look at my JD, isn’t working
