Carl Schmitt on whether the President has the right to suspend the constitution [from 14:00]


15:00  Jeffrey Epstein




16:00  Carl Schmitt
17:00  Friends and Enemies
18:00  Hans Kelsen
24:00  Judicial review
25:00  Roman dictator

26:00  Schmitt was a Catholic whose conception of God being the supreme authority would have imbued his legal reasoning with the idea of a hierarchical structure of legal authority while Kelsen as a liberal worshipping equality would be more inclined to witter on about processes such as judicial review. 

27:00  Who is Sovereign?
28:00  Friends and enemies internal and external
29:00  Guardian of the Constitution
30:00  China's interest in Schmittian ideas is probably due to its desire to suspend the Basic Law in Hongkong
31:00  The application of Schmittian ideas to America on 4 January 2021

32:00  The US Supreme Court has abdicated its role as Guardian of the Constitution. If it were a soldier, it would be deemed to have deserted.  

33:00  Because the US Supreme Court has in effect deserted its post, the role of Guardian of the Constitution reverts back to the President ie Trump. Trump is more the President than Biden. Trump has at least been President while Biden was never President. There is nothing in the US constitution about CNN, MSNBC etc being Guardian of the Constitution. 

34:00  Extraordinary warning to Trump by 10 former Pentagon chiefs

39:00  Christopher Miller
