Mark Meadows is demanding that his Georgia election racketeering case be dismissed due to the Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution, according to court records revealed by investigative reporter Zach Merchant.

Meadows' attorneys requested Monday an evidentiary hearing to discuss his argument in the Fulton County court where he and former President Donald Trump face multiple criminal charges linked to the 2020 presidential election, according to the Atlanta NBC affiliate reporter's post.

Trump's former White House chief of staff previously filed a suit demanding that his case be moved to federal court but was denied. His new argument is that the Constitution mandates state law not interfere with federal law......

.....................



...........This argument does not pass muster with legal analyst Andrew Weissmann, who compared Meadows to a hypothetical federal employee accused of robbing a bank. He explained that employees would not be charged in federal court due to their job as they broke a state law.

1. I read a recent article in the NYT Magazine on Meadows.

What a pious, grifting sleaze. Put him in jail!

[Drum]

2. Hahahahahahaha! "...TELLS Georgia judge..."

FFS!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Yeah, it's a "tell", a sign of an incompetent journalist and editor. . . . . nt

[onetexan]

11. Yup, and 'demanding' as well LOL

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. Georgia judge replies, "Hahahahahahaha, y'all!"

The other option is affix the words, "bless his heart," e.g., "Defendant Meadows can go f**k himself, bless his heart."

3. And the people in Hell want icewater, Mark.

[slightlv]

4. NOW they want to talk about the Fed Supremacy Clause?

I guess that's like "state's rights"... only applicable if a repug demands it!

5. Why is he free? He should be in prison for stealing the

Hurricane file, Cassidy Hutchenson said he told her she was sitting on in his car.

Traitor.

[leftieNanner]

7. And don't forget

All the little fires he set in his fireplace.

[Bluethroughu]

10. I'm sure he clogged the toilet with some of the secrets,

After he wiped trumps butt with them.

It is unbelievable, they are walking free and causing more problems in the world.

[dlk]

6. Meadows is an entitled white man who has led a life of privilege

“How dare” he be held accountable for his crimes! His comeuppance is well-deserved.

[ShazzieB]

8. Well, his lawyers sure are busy throwing things at the wall to see if anything sticks!

I hope he goes broke paying them for their shenanigans.

They, and Meadows, are a waste of skin, a waste of space, and a waste of oxygen.

12. Trying to hide behind the constitution that he tried to do away with.

Try the traitor.

13. Meadows Is Wanting Another Bite On The Apple

He already lost on the first bite where he sought the case be moved to Federal court, although the Supreme Court could take it up on appeal.

According to Wikipedia "The Supremacy Clause is essentially a conflict-of-laws rule specifying that certain federal acts take priority over any state acts that conflict with federal law.".

Since Meadows did not state what Federal law takes priority over the State laws Meadows is charged under, it should tell you all you need to know about the lack of seriousness in Meadow's demand. All this is is a stall, knowing Trump will pardon him on day one. Indeed, the Judge should state the case is not ripe for this action and dismiss the case without prejudice.
