JD Vance

These are modern-day lynchings.

The defense about using this Georgia statute that permits a citizen’s arrest, that was manufactured.

Race is the central issue in these cases.

To the extent that the Steve Bannon prosecution sends a message to other potential witnesses, both in this investigation and other congressional inquiries, then that would be a deliberate step, a deliberate goal of the prosecution that I…

It is child abuse masquerading as justice in this country. This entire trial, this entire force is an indictment on every institution in our society.

I think, the minute former President Trump makes phone calls into Georgia asking them to find him the number of votes he needs to win that state, that he has committed the Georgia crime of soliciting election fraud, of trying to alter the…

Trump lowered the standard so thoroughly on so many fronts, that our democratic institutions are strained. I think in many cases, really to the breaking point.

When has delayed not been Trump’s strategy and his reason for using litigation and going to courts?

This DOJ case is an interesting one, Brian, it’s more of a targeted surgical strike than anything else.

As long as we have this climate where violence has become acceptable... then we continue to be at risk for this.

What`s so troubling about the era that we`re in right now in Judge Walton`s comments is this is about people with a political agenda.

We used to have the Voting Rights Act, which was a mechanism DOJ could use to keep these overly restrictive, overly suppressive laws from going into effect.

There's something comparable between abortion and slavery [...] and that while the people who obviously suffer the most are those subjected to it, I think it has this morally distorting effect on the entire society.

The truth has a way of taking a long time to come to the front. But, for Trump, that time looks like it`s running out here.

Trump is a bully. He`s always been a bully. And that`s clear in his conduct in this particular case, where part of this deposition today involved, we`re told, Trump being confronted with evidence from his own campaign rallies, where he…

It`ll be very important for DOJ to proceed. The madness has gone on for long enough. It`s time for someone to just tell Trump no, to tell him that the law applies to him.

Only the Supreme Court can overrule Roe vs. Wade

It’s not whether women should be forced to bring a child to term. It’s whether a child should be allowed to live, even though the circumstances of that child’s birth are somehow inconvenient or a problem to the society. The question really…

It does sound very much like someone who`s desperate to try to turn the tables and certainly the former president has a history of trying to abuse the legal system for his own benefit. So this looks like another chapter in that same book.

It's not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term, it's whether a child should be allowed to live, even though the circumstances of that child's birth are somehow inconvenient or a problem to the society.

Fortunately, the former president`s megaphone speaks a little bit less loudly than it did when he still had access to social media platforms. But even though social media has taken steps to lessen his voice, that doesn`t make these sorts…

Do not comply with the mandates. Only mass civil disobedience will save us from Joe Biden`s naked authoritarianism.

Do not comply with the mandates -- only mass civil disobedience will save us from Joe Biden`s naked authoritarianism.

The reality may be that this stays on Democrats’ doorstep to fix. So far, they have been really unwilling to cross -- go across that political divide and take responsibility for it alone.

So, I think the political reaction to this is appropriate, that it`s anti-democratic activity, that it`s absolutely stunning to see this from someone who believes that he`s a future leader in the Republican Party.
