  • How the Political Red Lines Disappeared: a Modern History of American Democratic Norm Decline
    Wesleyan University The Honors College How the Political Red Lines Disappeared: A Modern History of American Democratic Norm Decline by Peter Wallace Dunphy Class of 2018 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors in Government and American Studies Middletown, Connecticut April, 2018 1 “Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” - Richard Nixon 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hillary Clinton once said it takes a village to raise a child. I think it took closer to a metropolis to write this thesis. I would be remiss if I did not first thank Professor Logan Dancey for serving as my thesis advisor. The most rewarding part of writing a thesis was cultivating an intellectual relationship with Professor Dancey. Thank you for providing me with academic, professional, and emotional encouragement throughout this year-long process. If anyone high up in the Government Department is reading this, I hope this serves as a strong recommendation to give Professor Dancey tenure. Throughout the year, I also had the immense pleasure of working with the Congressional Politics and Elections Lab to workshop theses and independent research. This group of fantastic scholars, Emma Solomon, Carly King, Tess Counts, and Sam Prescott, both provided incredible feedback while also serving as a fantastic way to spend every Tuesday night. Appreciation beyond words must be given to Frank Tucci, who has continued to support me throughout this entire endeavor, no matter how annoying it must have been to hear me talk about democratic norms for an entire year.

This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 license. 1 Does Mr. Trump Intend to Remain President if He Loses the Election? Executive Summary I. Introduction: This paper describes a number of “actions and inactions” by Mr. Trump and others that indicate Mr. Trump may be preparing a scheme to stay in power if he loses the 2020 election. This description of a possible “scheme’ is my effort to “connect the dots” between certain curious “actions and inactions” by Mr. Trump, Mr. McConnell and their allies, with a focus on foreign election interference. Connecting the dots led to the possible scheme described here. My concern that the possible scheme might indicate an actual scheme was increased by my later reading of Geltzer’s article, including his discussion of Mr. Trump’s tweet implying that Mr. Trump might allege foreign interference in the 2018 mid-term election and how this behavior might preview Mr. Trump’s effort to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election.

  • Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris: All the Women Who Have Worked
    Gaslit Nation Transcript 11 November 2020 “Klown Kar Koup” Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris: All the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century, 100 years ago with the 19th Amendment, 55 years ago with the Voting Rights Act, and now in 2020, with a new generation of women in our country who cast their ballots, and continued the fight for their fundamental right to vote and be heard. Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris: Tonight, I reflect on their struggle, their determination, and the strength of their vision to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And I stand on their shoulders. And what a testament it is to Joe's character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his vice president. Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris: But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. To the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourselves in a way that others may not, simply because they've never seen it before. But know that we will applaud you every step of the way. Sarah Kendzior: I'm Sarah Kendzior, the author of the best selling books; The View From Flyover Country and Hiding in Plain Sight.

  • A Handbook Philip C
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL FORUM N OVEMBER 26, 2018 Impeachment: A Handbook Philip C. Bobbitt preface to the new edition It is said that in the United States, a “new & improved” label will always increase sales.1 This is doubtless a testament to our irrepressible optimism.2 Since the publication of Impeachment: A Handbook, by Charles L. Black, Jr., in 1974, it has become the standard work. Lawfare called it “the most important book ever written on presidential impeachment.”3 Its sales peak whenever there is impeachment talk in the Congress, and staffers can be seen like schoolchildren carrying their vade mecums. As the 2018 midterm elections approached, there was some anxiety—and no doubt, in some quarters, hope—that impeachment might again be undertaken. As it happened, I was teaching the Handbook in my Legal Methods class at Columbia as an exquisite demonstration of the forms of constitutional argument. My students complained that the book had been published before any definitive action was taken to remove President Nixon, and they chafed to know how Black would have dealt with the significant questions of the hour— both then and now. Was the hacking of the Democratic campaign chairman’s emails in 2016 like the burglary of the Democratic campaign chairman’s 1.
