The goal is to avoid the pitfalls of Trump’s first years in office, when the Republican president’s team was ill-prepared, his Cabinet nominees had trouble winning Senate confirmation and policies were met with resistance.

    They can’t exist the way they need to in a government that already has built-in checks and balances. Even a little accountability is too much for them. No, they need to rebuild it from the ground up so they can King James this shit and make “Not as I Do” the official slogan of the GOP.

    While presidents typically rely on Congress to put policies into place, the Heritage project leans into what legal scholars refer to as a unitary view of executive power that suggests the president has broad authority to act alone.

    How does this compute? They perpetually bitch and moan about Biden doing anything at all and then have a theory that the president has broad authority to act alone. Is that true or not? If it’s true, then it’s true of Biden, too. If it isn’t, then it’s false for Trump.

    It really demonstrates that they’re not about principles or the rule of law or anything remotely like fairness and impartiality. Their entire ideology, legal, political, economic, social, cultural, etc is us against them.
