      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.

      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

          They and the Beltway media have to see it that way because the alternative -- the truth -- is too terrifying for them to abide.

          Endorse. Also, too many would have to look themselves in the mirror and ask "did I help this?" And doing that is the hardest thing.

          There’s a word for “invoking specious national security reasons to unilaterally slap tariffs on countries” - mistake. Let him make them. I see a schism between the business republicans and MAGA crowd looming

          Biden saying that he expects Republicans to suddenly be reasonable people once Trump is gone definitely let that cat out of the bag. Anyone who believes that has no business near public office right now.

          The Dems could revoke the AUMF, but they won't do it for the reason Jeet cites.

          eh...Given that we're looking at an ecological crisis -- and a radically reactionary GOP with a large and increasing structural advantage in the Senate -- embracing the imperial presidency seems like a reasonable move *precisely because* Trump isn't an aberration.

          The presidency isn't popularly elected -- but it's closer to being popularly elected than Congress is! In our current predicament, the alternatives to strengthening the powers of the most democratically accountable (and Democratically winnable) branch of government aren't obvious
