@emptywheel.bsky.social I don't think it's a fight over whether to think the law binds Trump as much as a fight to have people understand basic civics, the basic structure of the US government. There's a lot of people who do not understand how any of this works, and so they're left confused about these topics.

For example, misunderstanding about the different roles of the different branches and how they keep each other in check leads a lot of people to believe some really silly things.

YES the law binds Trump. And it's critical that we stop reelecting representatives who would be deferential to the executive branch.

But if people don't know how the government works they won't be able to hold our representatives accountable for enabling Trump.
