    Jeet Heer Retweeted Chris Hayes

    Part of what's going on here is that Democratic leaders have decided they don't want to roll back the imperial presidency even under Trump, because they think Trump will soon be gone & they might want Dem president to have those powers.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1134264701616099329 …

    It is just crazy from a constitutional perspective for the president to be running around, invoking specious national security reasons to unilaterally slap tariffs on countries while congress just sits idly by.

        I wonder if it’s that thought out

        It's not that thought out but the instinct is not the challenge the status quo. It all flows from the core error of seeing Trump as an aberration

        I think that’s being much too kind, and suspect it’s much less thought out...

        Oh ffs, how can any of you even entertain the thought that Dems are itching for an imperial presidency. It's amazing how one minute it's "Dems are too stuck on being rule-followers in the face of trump belligerence" & the next minute it's "Dems want to be dictators." No. Stop.

        I reject that. Strip Presidential power to the bone so that Congress can't use the Executive Branch as an excuse for their own slack asses. Anyone know of a candidate for President talking that kinda game? I'm being coy, but feel free to ask 😉

        To be fair unlimited executive authority and Emergency Powers will be very useful in implenting GND

        RUFKM? That's idiotic. They ARE concerned that a failed impeachment attempt will result in another term for Trump - a totally pragmatic concern. But you can bet that it will only be under the Dems that those powers that Trump is currently abusing will be curbed by new legislation

        Always blame the Dems. Sanders left is just as bad as Maga right.

        Hmm, do you have any evidence at all to support this claim, even private conversations w/ senior Dems, or is it all conjecture? I have not heard anyone suggest this.

        I thought Biden's comments on Trump were suggestive of the attitude I'm describing.
