Stanley on Trump: He Who Can Make the Exception Is Above the Law, that’s Meant to Make Way for a Fascist Dictatorship

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Ayman: “Speaking of, we are showing live pictures outside the Washington hotel where protesters have been gathering outside. Others are going to be speaking this evening at the Washington, sorry, the White House correspondents dinner. Let me get back to the point that I started this show with, on one hand we saw with the president, with the former president is trying to do with his power grab, with him claiming he has immunity, even if it was to kill a political opponent. This person has invoked the insurrection act to quell blacks like Black Lives Matter protests. If the Supreme Court grants this president this type of authority, and he comes back into the White House, that we can see the unleashing of military violence against civil rights protesters or other protest movements in this country?”Show more

Stanley: “These are anti-word antiwar protests, just like vietnam, these are peaceful, less disturbing at university campuses than those antiwar protests. And they are sending a signal of what they are going to do with other kinds of pro- democratic protests. Let’s be clear what the Supreme Court is considering. Carl schmidt, the Nazi legal theorist famously said he who can make the exception is above the law. This is fascist legal theory 101. This is what the Supreme Court is playing with. He who can make the exception is above the law. That’s meant to make way for a fascist dictatorship. That is fascist legal theory. This is what the Supreme Court is playing with his fascist legal theory. So, we know where that leads. We know that means that there will be violent repression. We know that the violent rhetoric that say the nazis aimed against marxists, the Jewish, and liberals are being targeted as marxists. So, so that’s where we have got the fascist legal theory. We have the fascist rhetoric, and you are gearing up for the fascist state violence.”
