this Court has shown that notwithstanding the dictates of its pet theories (unitary executive authority) it’s pretty solicitous of old-style conservative economics and, not to put too fine a point on it, the interests of organized wealth. So NLRB is out; but the Fed is cool. Because. So giving the President the power to cause recessions and fuck with the global economy as a hobby just isn’t something they’re likely to look favorably on.

    Option A: Do it anyway, what are they gonna do, stop him?

    Option B: See folks? The nasty judges are taking away our tariffs, all the bad things that happen now are their fault

      Yup.

      Trump needs a win. He needs to consolidate his power. Going to war typically does that for leaders. Can pretty much guarantee he’ll try before the end of his term.

      Crossing my fingers that means a bunch of conservatives will go off to war for Daddy and not come back.
