  • I mean this is the kind of fight that liberals, at least as far as political theory goes, should be taking up. Like, this is their wheel house. Its what they are all about, legalism, post-enlightenment liberalism, rule of law, etc.

    The problem they’ll soon find out though, is that Trump and co, well, they aren’t really liberals anymore (although they clearly kneejerk just like liberals do, and I’m …so so as to whether or not Trump is a liberal. They definatley have both authoritarian and liberal tendencies, day of week seems to decide which emerges. But those around him surely arent’)

    So arguments around liberal theories regarding the rule of law… this administration and SC… they don’t give a fuck.
