      "Trump’s accession to the agencies’ assertion of the power to decide with whom he may or may not speak of the nation’s secrets radically decreased the number and quality of appointees." This is why, even on days I lack any tolerance, I soldier on through such pieces.

      "Thus do such judges exercise the powers of the president and Congress." Indeed. Separation of powers is a myth. Technically it can be temporarily true, but eventually one power or another must be de facto the supreme power.

      Currently the slower students are finding out that, much like a bureaucracy's head loses power to someone somewhat lower down the org chart, the Supreme court's total supremacy has been delegated to lower circuits.

      "The revolutionary import of the ruling class’ abandonment of moral and legal restraint in its effort to reverse election results cannot be exaggerated." Ironically, if people like Codevilla hadn't said anything, it could very easily be exaggerated.

      "Conservative speakers on campuses routinely expect “protests” in which people get hurt." Scare quotes are okay, but better to name the thing: they are paramilitary soldiers. As is usual in outbreaks of genuine democracy.

      Revolution is itself a proggified word. It actually means literal revolution: that the high be cast down, that the low be brought high. The intra-elite squabbles which Codevilla describes are not revolutions, and don't even get within spitting distance of deserving such gravitas.

      "You may have won the last election, said the ruling class. But we’re still in charge. Indeed, they are." Codevilla, representing the slower students, discovers the Cathedral.

      "Establishment Republicans were driven to admit that their kind could no longer buy the Left’s comity." Republicants would have remained can't-do folk, except Trump has shamed them into sheepishly and partially rediscovering their testicles.

      "by death-gripping their privileges;" There's murder, arson, and jaywalking, and then there's Codevilla's jaywalking, littering, suicide bombing, and petty vandalism.

      Weird criticism. Are you attempting to sound deep? It's not working.
