    No matter what the Roberts Supreme Court says, the president is not a king, and he is not entitled to ignore the law in order to do whatever he pleases.

    “Hold my beer.”

    Trump and his ilk have one very strong play that they have used over and over and over again: Break the law and dare the justice system to do anything about it. Delay everything. Do whatever you want and avoid consequences.

    Trump has stacked SCOTUS and the federal courts. Any outcome he doesn’t like will just get appealed to someone whose mandate is “figure out how to shield Trump from consequences.” If that’s not a king, I don’t know what is.
