mellowtiggerIt's too important to wait until next Moody Monday. Here is a followup to yesterday's post. This 6-minute clip is today's PBS NewsHour segment on yesterday's Supreme Court decision.
I'm paraphrasing here, but the PBS host seemed strangely interested in trying to promote the idea, "No, it's not that dire," but the historian was emphatic that "Yes, it's a done deal. The president is now above the law." I'm very glad the historian pointed out what I did yesterday that so-called checks and balances are now gone. It's not something that will be tested in the future. It's done. It's now.
Get ready for what comes next (YouTube, 29 minutes, John Oliver on HBO). In fact, the worst case scenario was already discussed during the Supreme Court hearing (thank you, justice Sotomayor), and of course they decided in favor of it.
