The cover picture is a portrait of King George III from his coronation.

Today, SCOTUS coronated a pathologically lying, malignant narcissist, mentally ill President as the first American King.

I’ll simply point you to people more knowledgeable than me:

As I wrote previously, a professional bureaucracy is one of the final bulwarks against autocracy.

The bottom line? In her dissent, Sonia Sotomayor said it best: “The result is a President who emerges with far greater power than ever before. It is a power, however, that neither the People, nor Congress, nor the Constitution bestowed upon him.” 

That leaves me in sync with Josh Marshall. This is a litmus test for any candidate. Either you are vehemently for court “reform” (see the ways listed by Marshall in this piece: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-supreme-courts-corruption-must-be-broken/sharetoken/afdb29c1-57a7-4c05-aec4-e7a03e7863fd) or you’re dead to me and you don’t deserve anyone’s vote.
