Another deeply researched, insightful piece. We always knew that Trump favored Andrew F. Jackson, and now we have a better understanding of why. My favorite sentence: “Regardless, that statement is the canonical assertion of judicial powerlessness that today hangs over the dispute about judges who are seeking to put the brakes on Trumpian power grabs.” I love “canonical assertion of judicial powerlessness.”
Rich -- Thanks for reminding us it's all happened before though this president is not Andrew Jackson, for which we can perhaps be grateful, nor Abraham Lincoln, for which we surely cannot.
