roberts essentially ignores the purpose of separation of powers, which was not to create entirely separate spheres of action but to prevent the emergence of unchecked authority. instead, he says, separation of powers *demands* unchecked authority.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

Let's all be honest, "Aquire a loan you know you can't pay off, then use it to buy a company, spin off the assets to private concerns, saddle the company with the loan you can never pay off, and then declare bankruptcy" is financial fraud, and any sane polity would have implemented laws against it.
