"lawless presidential conduct can be prevented by reference to law" kind of misses what's happening in some important ways

I’ll say again, the three classes in which i got anything close to a “bad” grade in law school were con law, admin law, and federal courts. Those disciplines have been effectively dissolved in favor of Sam alito’s personal rule. Can i apply for retroactive Latin honors

This feels like the difference between pure science and engineering. Is your concept of democracy connected to the world we actually live in by the thinnest of threads, if at all? That’s pure science. Is it designed to withstand three times the threat it’s ever likely to bear? Thank an engineer.

These people are epistemically constrained from understanding what is happening. It’s why it’s good that they’re mostly being cared for in homes for the permanently incapable, where they are allowed to “write” and “teach” and everyone pretends they they’re important.

How does Roberts square his decision now with his repudiation of Korematsu, "The forcible relocation of U.S. citizens to concentration camps, solely and explicitly on the basis of race, is objectively unlawful and outside the scope of Presidential authority"? How is it so when you can't review acts?
