Neil Kadel and Andrew Weissman Weigh In on Trump’s Legal Battles
In a Sunday discussion, legal experts Neil Kadel and Andrew Weissman addressed the delay in the resolution of Donald Trump’s legal case and the potential ramifications for the upcoming 14th Amendment oral arguments.
Kadel, a former acting USS solicitor general, and Weissman, the former general counsel at the FBI and a key member of Robert Mueller’s team, provided insights into the slow pace of the judicial process and its impact on public accountability.
According to Weissman, while delays are common in legal proceedings, the pace of Trump’s case is notable given its significance. Despite expedited briefing and oral arguments, the decision from the circuit has yet to materialize, leading to concerns about accountability and the timing of potential criminal trials.
Kadel echoed these concerns, emphasizing the need for a timely resolution, particularly in light of the upcoming federal election. He expressed worry that further delays could push the trial past June, potentially impacting the election timeline and allowing Trump to exploit legal loopholes.
Weissman criticized the slow progress in the DC circuit, likening it to other instances of judicial inertia, such as Judge Cannon’s handling of a case in Florida. He emphasized the absurdity of Trump’s legal claims and urged for a swift rejection of his arguments.
Looking ahead, Kadel highlighted the importance of the forthcoming oral arguments on the 14th Amendment case in Colorado. He emphasized the clarity of legal arguments supporting Trump’s disqualification and urged advocates to uphold the original intent of the Constitution.
As the legal saga unfolds, the spotlight remains on the judiciary’s role in upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability for those in positions of power.
