    There’s already historical precedent going back to Jackson that the president can blow off the Supreme Court and do whatever the fuck he wants. This is further backed up by the recent Supreme Court ruling saying that the president can do whatever the fuck he wants anyways with full immunity to the law while in office.

    The office of the president has always been above the law, not that u.s law really means anything, and pretending there’s rules and civil norms that stops the literal monster of the mountain from tormenting the world is delusional.

      Yes, except that Watergate happened and Nixon was shunned despite getting 60% of the vote and carrying 49 states, there was a time when even republicans didn’t want a king.
