The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law.
the dual state that you lived in, and that you worked in, and that must be called out unflinchingly whenever it rears its head
In my view, this was the wrong decision at the wrong moment, especially given what little this Court knows about what is actually happening on the ground.
The decision … gives the Executive the go-ahead to sometimes wield the kind of unchecked, arbitrary power the Founders crafted our Constitution to eradicate.
