Conservative Republican says of Benito Trumpolini: "Impeachment needs to be on the table."

[Rudy Canoza]

Northwestern University Law Professor Steven Calabresi served in two
Republican administrations, was an adviser to Attorney General Edwin
Meese under Ronald Reagan and wrote speeches for Vice President Dan
Quayle. He is co-founder and board chairman of the conservative
Federalist Society.

So it raised a few eyebrows when Calabresi told a law school audience in
San Francisco that when it comes to Donald Trump, “impeachment needs to
be on the table.”

Even though both houses of Congress will be controlled by his fellow
Republicans, Trump, a party outsider, will be “on a short leash. There
could be a spectacular end,” Calabresi said in a recent panel at the
annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools.

Calabresi was a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and
another prominent conservative, Appeals Court Judge Robert Bork, and
served in the Justice Department under Presidents Ronald Reagan and
George H.W. Bush.

In the Reagan administration, he was an influential advocate of expanded
presidential power and the use of “signing statements” declaring a
president’s intention to disregard portions of a newly signed law. That
became common under President George W. Bush.

“He’s not a creature of the Republican Party,” Calabresi said of Trump.
“He’s a creature of the swamp.”
