      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jay Rosen

      This is even more absurd now than it was then. The past 3 years have been vivid proof of the restraints & checks on an American president's individual whims. Why else is Trump constantly reduced to impotent whinging that his own handpicked appointees are fools & traitors?https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/1193398038582063104 …

      The mortal threat to our institutions is not a rogue like Trump but an ideological program to shift power to courts & bureaucrats unconstrained by written law.

          Yep, no danger from an unrestrained Executive. None

          But he has been restrained. That's the point. And he could be more retrained if Congress would assume its Constitutional authority over the Executive. I don't mean impeachment per se. I mean in everything.

          "We need to impeach Trump so we can pack the court, confiscate the guns, outlaw private health insurance, and declare a state of emergency so we can impose the Green New Deal!"

          Replying to @baseballcrank

          The things that have been keeping him in what you call "check" are the courts & bureaucrats you're naming as the mortal threats. No doubt we'll survive this; Gopnik's concerns were hyperbolic, but not unrealistic. Donald's rhetoric/actions have widened the gaps between us.

          By "written law," include the Constitution.
