Daniel Koh: To Trump, Loyalty and Not Qualifications, ‘Is the Number One Priority’
RUSH EXCERPT:
KOH: "100%. But the Reality is this president’s. Number one, learning from term one To term two was that loyalty, not qualifications, is the number one priority. For him. And that means that he can control all of these people. One example is the president tweeted that he wants to redo the census. That could disenfranchize tens of millions of people in this country. As a result, that is overseen by the department of commerce. Howard lutnick is a loyalist, and he will do whatever it takes to please. Donald Trump. Right? Wilbur Ross was in the bad graces of Donald Trump after he wasn’t successful with the census modification. In 2019 This is something that Trump knows, and he will hire these loyalists to help skirt the law. And certainly the legislature is not serving as that check either. So this is just continuously unchecked power based on loyalty alone and not qualifications."
