    He’s right. A judge can’t control the executive’s legitimate power.

    The parts he really really really wants you to overlook are the illegitimate acts.

      The counter:

      When the president does it, it’s legal

      The supreme court went and said that anything vaguely related to presidential duties can’t be questioned by the court.

      This is frighteningly close to President = King and tyranny.

    I think Trump and the Supreme Court are gonna have that showdown sooner rather than later.

    Regardless of what the outcome is, the outcome terrifies me.

      This does feel like he shot himself in the foot with that statement.

        Fascists are not logically consistent. They’ll say anything that they think will get them more power.
