Radley Balko: This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

What's to stop Biden from wielding his power immediately and ordering, say, a bunch of assassinations?

Pretty sure it's the only "legal" way out of this mess.

From what I can see, nothing! Except his (and many of the centrist Dems) focus on upholding "norms"

Calvinlaw doesn’t work that way.

The entire democratic party collectively not having even a single vertebra, let alone a full spine

The Founding Fathers were all trad-Cath monarchists, didn't you know?

And just the person. He can tell GM to stop making EVs or he will nuke the factory. But the EPA can write some tickets that the 5th circuit will overturn.

They haven't even bothered presenting evidence that their latest rulings are tied to the intent of the constitutions framers. In this case, because there is none.

Well sure, didn’t the founders in their incredible foresight and near godlike brilliance just want to trade the English king for their own king?

Are they saying they are doing it so that Trump can't go after Biden if he wins a second term? Because of course Trump was so good at honoring court opinions the first time around...

You obviously just don't appreciate small government

nothin' smaller than an unaccountable absolute dictator!

Schoolhouse Rock is now obsolete 😢

"when the President does it, it's not illegal" now in the constitution

With a power that isn’t even in the constitution

I mean...they did actually. Your founders were complete shitheels.

The founders had a lot of flaws, but they made their feelings on monarchy and their wariness of armed government agents pretty clear.

So clear half of them thought having a king was just better.

Dude, please.

If you're going to claim that the Founders "did actually cherish the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity," you should maybe consider using your words to explain wtf you're babbling about.

“your founders”— where are you from

Just block the troll

They never said how original they were going with it

History and Tradition!
