i think we should see the Trump v. United States ruling as a group of Republican apparatchiks taking their opportunity to vindicate Nixon and write the unitary executive into the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/o...
Roberts, Alito and Thomas all cut their teeth in a Reagan administration eager to expand the outer limits of executive power. Kavanaugh did the same under George W. Bush who tried to make the unitary executive a reality.
Exactly. When congress wrote specific legislation against engaging conflict in Nicaragua (Boland amendment) the executive saw that as a congressional attack on the Reagan Doctrine.
These justices were ass deep in it then.
Boland amendment was not respected as the will of the people.
