Trump's minister of disinformation brainwashing the MAGA rubes again.
Trump spokesperson Leavitt buried on MSNBC for playing 'amateur constitutional lawyer'
During a recent press availability, Trump's spokesperson asserted the Trump administration is " ...fighting back by appealing, fighting back by using the full weight of the White House Counsel’s Office and our lawyers at the federal government who believe that this [fired federal workers] injunction is entirely unconstitutional."
"And it is, for anybody who has a basic understanding of the law," she claimed. "You cannot have a low-level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the president of the United States. That is completely absurd! And as the executive of the executive branch, the president has the ability to fire or hire. And you have these lower-level judges who are trying to block this president’s agenda. It’s very clear."
Later during the segment Nessel asked if she could address Leavitt, who has a BA degree in communications after attending Saint Anselm College on a Division II softball scholarship.
"These are three co-equal branches of government," she continued. "I understand that the, you know, one of the branches, the legislature, Congress has sort of abdicated seemingly their entire role in this process, but the courts are doing their job."
"And even, quote, low-level federal judges who are federal district court judges, you know, they have the ability to issue injunctive relief and the. executive branch must abide by it. So it's deeply concerning to me to hear the president's own press secretary indicating that they may decide to do otherwise."
