    Always worth keeping in mind that the first rule of power is that it never surrenders itself willingly.

    In this case, what that means is thatthe courts - supreme or not - will only go along with Trump’s power grab for as long as the belief that it furthers their own power prevails. And that belief is cracking.

    It’s cracking way too late to stop the power grab from progressing further, but still.

      They didn’t see that coming when they ruled that Presidents are above the law?

      What’s with all the highest levels of public service being filled with people with no common sense?
