| Is that really the lesson? John Adams told us the Constitution is intended for a moral (or virtuous) people. The point is the law isn't self enforcing. People have to insist upon Constitutional order, not because of (blind) faith in it, but because the alternative is tyranny. Not anarchy. Does this country deserve Constitutional order? The People abandoned it by electing someone virulently and openly opposed to it. The regulation you seek is utterly meaningless in an autocracy. Or even in a unitary executive theory of Constitutional order. But in the specific case of Trump, among the most untrustworthy liars America has produced, what does Constitutional duty mean to him? What does it mean that he took the oath of office? He said the words but no serious person believes he took an oath. People still have no idea what we've done. And what is yet to come. The POTUS is a psycho. And the replacements aren't good people either. 100 days down, 1369 to go. It's going to get much worse. |
