Trump v. US is one of the most authoritarian decisions I’ve ever read. This is Roberts explaining why the president can’t be prosecuted for various crimes in office. Criminal accountability would take away his power and we can’t have that.
Roberts really speaks out of both sides of his mouth. There is nothing in the Constitution or the Federalist papers to justify his ruling. He’s just making stuff up now.
God, I've been trying to formulate a succinct formulation of the unitary executive theory all morning, and "the President is a branch of government" was right there for the taking.
We’ve been arguing over “the unitary executive” like suckers, and Roberts is just “the President is a branch of government”. So much for the mountain of law pretending it was anything more than that.
