Todd Blanche’s DOJ reign 'going to end with his disbarment': journalist

American outrage continues to grow as President Donald Trump's administration moves forward with its nearly $1.8 billion fund that aims to compensate Americans who feel they've been wronged by the government. Speaking on CNN this week, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said that he thinks taxpayers "do want their tax dollars spent on things like that."Journalist John Harwood issued his own warning, "Does Todd Blanche recognize that this disgraceful chapter in American life is going to end with his disbarment?"National security expert Marcy Wheeler similarly commented that, given the frustration from lawmakers on display Thursday, it's entirely possible that Blanche could be removed from office. She shared law school Professor Steve Vladeck's recent post, which argues that the best way to defeat the fund is through politics. However, she doesn't think it's the only way to stop Blanche. "I think you START impeachment with Blanche," she wrote on BlueSky. "25 GOP Senators spoke up (in private) yesterday. 25+47-Fetterman = 71. Better yet, INCLUDE the dismissal of the Sedition verdicts NOW."Blanche only took over the Justice Department after Pam Bondi was fired, serving as acting attorney general.Vladeck's piece recalled that Chief Justice Roberts wrote in his majority opinion of NFIB v. Sebelius (which dealt with the Affordable Care Act in 2012). Roberts "defended the Court’s endorsement of Congress’s power to adopt the individual mandate by noting that it is 'not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.'"He urged, "One can believe in substantial judicial power without believing that literally every political dispute in our country can and should be resolved by unelected judges."Vladeck, too, turned to impeachment, which hasn't proved successful in the ongoing efforts to hold Trump accountable for crimes. He argued that despite the GOP majority, "impeachment itself is feasible in this House ... because forcing every member of Congress to vote on the record whether this brazen, corrosive, and affirmatively dangerous corruption is impeachable is itself a point worth fighting for (and fighting with our friends over)."
