And the first installment has arrived. Please enjoy. If you didn’t catch our short conversation earlier, we have started a podcast (and video cast) called Behind the Headlines. This is our first full episode.
We discuss SCOTUS decisions and the first presidential debate. You can watch our first short discussion here, where we cast our debate predictions.
Related to our discussion are Professor Jacobson’s thoughts on invoking the 25th amendment, which were later covered by Fox News:
A Cornell University law professor has called on President Biden’s Cabinet to invoke the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to have him removed from office after his weak debate performance Thursday night, claiming his “cognitive decline” is a “national security threat.””This debate displayed Biden’s severely declined cognitive ability for all the world to see for an hour and a half,” Professor William Jacobson wrote Friday for Legalinsurrection.com.”The media cannot claim the live video feed from CNN was a manipulated ‘cheap fake’ — the smear campaign used against those of us who have been pointing out the obvious for over a year, but particularly recently with Biden visibly freezing and zoning out in public appearances.”He called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to have Biden removed from office.”If I’m China, I’m taking off the shelf the war plans to invade Taiwan,”Jacobson said. “If I’m Iran, I’m breaking out towards a nuclear weapon. If I’m Putin, I’m doubling down on Ukraine and possibly other former Soviet satellites. Can you imagine an emergency situation where immediate military decisions that only a president can make need to be made in seconds or minutes, and the military having to go to diminished Joe for a decision?”He added Biden’s “cognitive decline is a national security threat of the highest order.”House Speaker Mike Johnson said something similar Friday.
