We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

Crazy how the executive branch goes “if we can’t break the law it’s irreparable harm to our lawbreaking,” 6 Supreme Court Justices go “yeah sure,” often with no further explanation, and 3 are left doing an eloquent version of “but checks and balances, duly passed statute, what are we doing here.”

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Misrepresenting testimony and evidence to a grand jury to secure an indictment is a lot easier to do in that setting since there is no defense lawyer present to challenge it, but it is a pretty perilous road for Lindsey Halligan to go down right after her predecessor resigned.

To Jim Comey: You were made for this moment. Tyrants often lose power because they surround themselves with incompetent loyalists and rely on their bad advice to overreach. That moment has come to America. Justice is on your side. Win this case to defend the rule of law.

Posts about James Comey in 2016 are, tonight, real failures to focus. The U.S. Department of Justice has been captured by, say the word, criminals. It’s lawlessness. That’s our crisis.

This should be a red line. Trump is personally directing the indictment of

based on personal animus even though Comey violated no law, as evidenced by the fact that the former US Atty looking into the case resigned rather than bring phony charges. Make Kimmel-level noise.

The bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court agreed to take up whether to overturn a 90-year-old precedent that allows Congress to give certain agencies some independence from the White House. And of course, we can be certain they’ll rule in his favor, leaving us with no truly independent agencies.
