I don't know if you've listened to my podcast before, but sometimes there's a bit of explicit language and this is one of those times.

It's Wednesday, March 21st, 2018 from Slated to the Gisdai Mike Pesca.

When we are begging the president not to fire the special counsel, don't create a constitutional crisis.

Congress cannot pre-empt such a firing. Our only constitutional remedy is after the fact through impeachment.

No one wants that outcome, Mr. President. Please don't go there.

So said Senator Jeff Flake in a tweet the first time he used the word impeachment to which Tommy Vittor, a former Obama administration staffer,

and one of the hosts of Pods, they have America tweeted, stop begging, pass a law.

Then McCay Coppins tweets and McCay Coppins is like a game of telephone, isn't it?

He's a really good reporter and he's something of the Mormon whisperer and he asks Vittor, dismissing a Republican Senator threatening impeachment if the president takes a specific action as just talk strikes me as weird,

but he asks, what's the law? That's the good question. What's the law that the Senate can pass that would stop the president from firing Bob Mueller?

They talk about this on Pods, say, of America all the time. So here are the bills that were introduced and are going nowhere.

In fact, one of them has essentially been withdrawn.

First, there is the Tillus Coons bill. Tom Tillus Republican North Carolina, Chris Coons, Democrat Delaware.

And this bill says, if the special counsel were removed, then a panel of three federal judges would have 14 days to decide whether removal was proper.

If the panel disagreed with the attorney general's decision, it could reinstate the special counsel immediately.

It wouldn't be the attorney general's decision because he's recused himself in this matter, of course.

But let's think about the Tillus Coons bill. Practically, it has no chance of becoming a law.

But let's say it did. Would it stop Trump from firing Mueller? I don't think so. I think the specter of a three judge panel waiting two weeks and then issuing a ruling is something that Trump, if he was desperate stupid or bold enough to fire the special counsel.
