      @Susan_Hennessey If yesterday didn’t change DOJ’s mind in this respect, the place should be dismantled down to the rafters. For decades, they’ve promoted a law-adjacent vision of executive power and impunity that has no practical limiting principle, and operated in appallingly bad faith.

    @Susan_Hennessey I get that a lot of people want to go back to a world where the President is a genteel reed that withers in the wind of public opinion when it comes to obeying the law, and we all pretend there’s some limit A2 power, while using it limitlessly when there’s consensus. That’s gone.
