    Taking decisions away from elected officials to whom the Constitution grants power: a threat to democracy. Decisions being made - even terribly - by those elected officials within the scope of those powers: not a threat to democracy.https://twitter.com/AdamWeinstein/status/1274195060679204866 …

        He will serve until a replacement is determined by the advice and consent of Congress. Barr does not have the power to unilaterally fire Berman constitutionally.

        Firing an independent US attorney for obviously corrupt purposes is a threat to the rule of law.

        A) Did you get upset when Detroit was trusteed a few years ago by the state government? B) You really don’t get what’s going on here? Barr can’t fire him; Trump has to. But Barr and Trump don’t want Trump to obstruct justice (again). So Barr tried to do the dirty work for him.

        This is bad. I just think it's a category error to start throwing around stuff like "fascism" and "end of democracy" for something that isn't that.

        The constitution also grants power to the judiciary. The fact that Barr lied brazenly about his departure, and Berman’s statement about ensuring investigations continue without being impeded ....something smells rotten. Corruption is a very real threat to our democracy.

        Historically, an elected official tends to be the one who topples democracy. They don't even necessarily need to violate any laws (although Trump definitely has). We uphold democracy with checks and balances, and Senate Republicans refuse to serve as a check.
