Raskin: ‘We’ve Got a Completely Lawless Executive Branch’

Pam Key 23 May 2025

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that President Donald Trump was running a “completely lawless executive branch.”

Raskin said, “This is a completely lawless situation. The administration doesn’t get to control higher education in America and tell colleges and universities what to do. They don’t get to control newspaper entities and TV networks the way Donald Trump has been trying to do. And they don’t get to control law firms or any other private entity, but they’re trying to move us into an authoritarian situation so he can continue to embark upon his corruption tour of the world. I mean, the guy has made more than $1 billion a month since this started.:

He added, “There’s a record number of injunctions that have been entered against the lawlessness in the chaos of this administration. It’s now more than 160 preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders. American history has never seen anything like this because we’ve got a completely lawless executive branch that wants to take over all of the institutions of society. That’s not their role. And that’s got nothing to do with conservatism, by the way. That’s authoritarianism. That’s something completely different and nobody voted for that. They wanted to bring the price of eggs down and the price of eggs have gone up, and the price of Eggs Benedict is just intolerable. We cannot have them betraying the basic institutions and documents of the country, like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.”

So what law is this Executive Branch violating?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Another form of "8647" IMO.

Raskin is speaking to all the closet 'Luigi Mangione's and Elias Rodriquez's out there.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Ratskin needs to go shopping. I can buy twice as many eggs for the same amount I spent a few months ago.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I guess Raskin was in a coma for the Barry/ Brandon and Brandon/Cackler administrations.
