Federalist Society co-founder calls Trump’s “fascist” idea to delay elections


A co-founder of the ultra-conservative Federalist Society criticized President Donald Trump for raising the idea of ​​postponing the November presidential election in an opinion piece on Thursday. Steven Calabresi, a professor at Northwestern University School of Law, wrote in The New York Times, “I am frankly appalled by the recent tweet from the president seeking to postpone the November elections.

But this latest tweet is fascist and is itself a reason for the immediate impeachment of the president by the House of Representatives and his impeachment by the Senate. “Calabresi said he voted for the Republicans in all presidential elections since 1980, including the vote for Trump in 2016. He was previously a staunch advocate for the commander-in-chief, calling the Robert Mueller investigation “unconstitutional.”
