I look forward to your posts, but I want to make ONE point: It isn't the Constitution that is in crisis, it is the American people who have become dumb as rocks and have abandoned reason in devotion to a FALSE demigod they know not due to their vacuousness. I read all the articulate explainers that leave OUT this fact. As a voting population, we are just that DUMB! Woe be to our future, if any.

Some are pure evil but many have been brainwashed. Even highly intelligent people can become brainwashed if they're at a vulnerable time in their life. And brainwashed people operate in their cult identity, not as their true selves. Doesn't help us out of this mess unless the cult experts and psychiatry experts suddenly get lots and lots of media time, which won't happen :(

Bandy Lee tried to warn but no major media picked up on this, sadly.

Indeed she did. She's still trying.

I don't agree that the American people are dumb, brainwashed, or misinformed in large numbers. There are plenty of information sources out there in a variety of formats and everyone knows how to get information when they want it. The American people knew full well what they were voting for. It will take time for everyone to absorb this and accept it. The sooner we understand that the sooner strategies can be formed to counteract the consequences you feel are harmful. The key to starting that is to stop making excuses for why it happened. It happened because this is what the voters wanted in large enough numbers to win elections.

Sounds like you don't know much about brainwashing, mind control and authoritarian cults. https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/cult-trump-leading-cult-expert-explains-how-president-uses-mind-control

Thanks for the words. As a citizen with little knowledge of justice, I’ve been tearing my hair out for years over the slowness and seeming unwillingness to apply justice to Trump especially, and also all of his high level supporters. I wonder if you could explain your thoughts on it all. When Biden was elected, I said he needs to hit the ground running, and he really did: except for the justice thing. In his case, I could see reasoning that believed his own hand in prosecuting would be seen as partisan and divisive by people he wanted to reach through solving issues like the pandemic and the subsequent economy. But Garland’s inaction? And judges being WAY too tolerant and accommodating? And then Aileen Cannon, and the Supreme Court? I’m no sociologist, but it seemed to me that if we were to defeat Trumpism in the public eye, we absolutely needed to impose unapologetic justice with urgency, not just with the recent election as a final due date, but sooner, allowing time for his supporters to calm down and the needed public discourse to happen. Why did they wait?

I will read this at length later, having just skimmed it. I have great respect for you. However, I no longer have ANY respect for MSNBC, and I encourage you and all independent thinkers to shun them for the wimps that they have turned out to be. I am hoping that anyone there of any quality does the same following the homage paid to Trump by the Morning Joe anchors.

I pretty much just watch Meidas Touch Network. And listen to Lawrence O

Donnell. I have no respect for the mainstream media.

Well... I think Maddow does a good job. Morning Joe has always been just two people yelling along with a few sidekicks.

I was just fixing to say Maddow and Jen Pensk ( I think that's how her last name is spelled) Red hair.

Thanks for the information, Harry. I look forward to reading more of your articles on Substack. My wife and I are 75 and have watched you on MSNBC religiously for years.

We can no longer stomach the news, but miss many of our favorite reporters and friends.

Thank You.

Glad to find you here, Harry. I've appreciated your superb YT Talking Feds for several years. Huge respect and affection for your many contributions to my knowledge and understanding of DOJ, the DC courts and a myriad of other current topics.

Thank you, Harry, for staying in the fight with us for our democracy. Your breadth and depth of experience is second to none. We need your calm voice and sound analysis at this crucial time. I know how exhausted we all are at my house, so I can only imagine how exhausted you must be from doing the heavy lifting for. the rest of us.

All I can do to show my appreciation is assure you that I am in it for the long haul, too, and let you know how much your new Substack will help me do my work out here in the field that is our United States of America-not his.

It's okay to check out for a brief period to regroup. I have just to try to come to terms with what this election means. But get checked back in as soon as you can because otherwise you've let Trump and our enemies win. Russia and Putin didn't want Trump to win because they like him. They wanted him to win because of the discord he is causing and the further erosion of trust in our form of government by the people. What I find so sad is the number of people who fled to this country for a better life now supporting someone who wants to turn this country into one like they chose to leave. Sadly for them to learn their lesson many others will have to suffer.

Litman’s Substacks like this one should continue to prove vital to understand by the resistance.

Thank you Mr Litman. You make me feel like I’m not crazy! I don’t know how well that bodes for either of us; however, your last couple of videos have been stellar. Let us not be afraid. Let us not give up the ghost.
