The only thing that softens that thought is that Nixon wouldn't be happy about it, but fuming that some rich Franklin is the one that they gave the power to instead of him, who had to work twice as hard for everything...etc etc
Reagan was the image (maybe the self-image): sitting tall in the saddle with a crooked grin, broad-shouldered, rock solid, Hollywood handsome, the Marlboro Man without the smokes.
But the mask has dropped. It's been the Party of Nixon all along. They're just free to blatantly embrace it now.
I wish Marc Elias were more active on here - my question I want to ask lawyers is:
Assuming we defeat trump, survive his followers' terrorism, and retake the supreme court:
How do we override this insane ruling? Do we have to ask Biden to commit a small crime, then charge him?
Wherever Gerald Ford is, I bet he's feeling REALLY dumb for pardoning Nixon now
Might have cost Ford the 1976 election, and it turns out it wasn't even necessary
I read Bruce Ackerman's Failures of the Founding Fathers, and I think yesterday should be added to the list. They never imagined a Trump could be elected, and I bet they thought impeachment of a Supreme Court justice could be a reality. They were good with the EC, and each State w 2 Senators.
Biden should just say that he's decided, as part of his official duties, to completely ignore the court's Chevron decision. As well as everything else.
