“If the Supreme Court officially makes the chief executive a unitary executive, the advancement of the public good may depend on little more than the whims of the president, a state of affairs normally more characteristic of dictatorship than democracy.”

@OldSquida2 No, that's not how that works.
The advancement of public good is a negotiation between Congress, which has to give permission, and the executive, who has to actually implement policy with permission of Congress.
The Democratic representation in Congress remains a vital, vital element of the US government even as the president heads the executive branch.
So that statement is absolutely wrong. It absolutely misunderstands how the US government works.
