The Framers: *literally wrote many, many passages that you would swear on your life were prophetic visions of Donald J. Trump, and how such a figure must be guarded against at all costs* John Roberts: surely what they wanted is for this uniquely lawless figure to be placed above the law
"...this opinion depends on an implicit belief that the only person who would act so brazenly is Trump, and that because the majority of the justices on the Court support Trump and want him to be president, he must be shielded from prosecution."

Am I missing something? For partisan issues we are truly beyond a stable & effective legal regime in this country. The law is simply irrelevant. If on one of the most important issue you can imagine you can invent a rationale for your side and believe precedent is irrelevant. There is no more law.

I mean basically, yeah. Offer only good for one side though

That’s sort of critical to the argument. Justice isnt “blind”. It’s an institution to be captured for partisan gain. I can’t think of anything more dangerous.

Strip me of my last naked naïveté. How can Fed Society support this stuff? Is there truly no one in the org that has any patriotism or self-respect of any kind?
