Today's Glenn

Glenn Kirschner - Justice Matters

It took some time, but I think Biden has managed to re-establish some of the Separation Of Powers necessary to keep things legit.

Trump (recently) and the GOP (for-fucking-ever-and-still-at-it) have tried to erase that separation through the bullshit "theory" of the "Unitary Executive", which is code for "Imperial Presidency", which is code for "Asshole Plutocratic Dictator".

Anyway, yesterday's search of Trump's home illustrates how this thing is supposed to work. ie: two separate and independent branches of government have to agree on some things before certain actions can be taken. And even beyond that, the Justice Department has to be acting independently from the White House, just to be sure it's all as much on the level as possible.
