Some pundits are finally getting it.

[drray23]

Harry littman who for years was singing the praises of the rule of law, integrity of the justice department and courts and how Garland was to be trusted to prosecute those who broke said law has now operated a 180.

On MSNBC he was asked a few questions such as

Will there be recourses if Trump abuse the rule of law ? Answers no.

Will Trump be constrained by ethics law ? Answers no, he will ignore it all with no consequences.

And so on.
If him and others had spend more time sounding the alarm instead of whitewashing it all and proclaiming that the law will hold, we have guardrails, etc.. maybe we would not be in this situation

1. I saw that and am disgusted

[dem4decades]

2. Littman never hid the dangers of Trump.

[drray23]

10. That's not what I am commenting on.

He certainly did not want Trump to be elected but he was constantly cheerleading for the justice department, rule of law and so on oblivious to the fact that none of that mattered or was actually true.

3. I HATE THIS FUCKING COUNTRY

I will ride out the string until I die.

[JoseBalow]

13. Where are you gonna find a better Reuben sandwich?

If I can't have that, why even go on?

[Dem4life1234]

14. Me too

The older I get, the more disgusted I get with it.

People here don't behave like normal civilized human beings. How can sane voters in a developed nation look at someone like him and think that's presidential?

[ancianita]

4. So who are the pundits finally "getting it," because Litman is more a lawyer than a pundit.

And he's silo'd into the left's media shows. From what I've seen over the years, hardly anyone in msm has heard of him.

[drray23]

9. He is a frequent contributor to MSNBC for legal analysis.

I therefore view him as a pundit. He specializes in things related to legal matters.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

21. He's been good lately.

[live love laugh]

7. Anyone "finally getting it" is a moron.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Party in power puts on a brave front, and acts like everything is OK

until it isn't. Much like a stock climbing and climbing ... no one wants to call the top but it does happen at some point.

[republianmushroom]

11. Oh, damn, the truth is hitting home.

So much for laws and ethic.
45 months and counting

12. Saw that segment with Litmann on the Melber show (Katie Phang substituting who I really like). My interpretation

of what he said is that TSF won't follow any of the institutional norms, so law and order is fk'ed in the upcoming trump administration.

It's scary shit when the experts are saying our institutions will not likely stand up under trump round II.

[Initech]

15. The media created this nightmare, they're getting us out of it.

[Meowmee]

16. My father said when comey came out with his bs

We are now living in a police state.

[Yavin4]

17. An Institutionalist finally accepts the current terrain.

Too little. Too late.

[0rganism]

18. Saw footage of a CNN host I think it was Bash asking actual questions of logistics for the planned mass-deportations

I think it was Dana Bash interviewing Gym Jordan. Gee, wouldn't it have been nice to really dig into this stuff, ask some implementation questions BEFORE the goddam election? Maybe give it as much coverage as, say, the McDonald's stunt?

[FakeNoose]

19. My take is that we should be thanking Harry Littman for telling the truth

Maybe some people will finally wake the fcuk up.

There are no "guardrails" anymore, and I'm pretty sure the MAGA-cult already knows it.

20. "...and acts like everything is OK", yep
