You wanna lawyer for this administration, you gotta be willing to lie. This one is too honest. If I were in the gallery, I’d lead a chant of, “You’ll be fired in the morning.” Maybe I’ve lived in England too long.
BREAKING: In response to a question from Judge Trina Thompson, DOJ attorney just said it is "fair" to say that their list has a "high" error rate.

NB: If your understanding of a constitutional power or office implies that some official acting under color of law is beyond accountability, your understanding *must be* defective at some point. No constitutional system can have powers or offices like that; it's a contradiction in terms.

This is not counsel of despair; it's that we mustn't treat obviously corrupt and, indeed, *constitution-negating* pardons as even presumptively legitimate. They're presumptively *illegitmate*, and should be treated that way even before they're offered. Prominent electeds doing so might deter them!

This is where the magic of inherent contempt comes into its own. And sure, Trump will obstruct you from enforcing exponentially growing fines, and SCOTUS probably will too, but we're gonna have a new President and a new SCOTUS sooner rather than later and that is enough to give the threat teeth.
They would just claim executive privilege with absolute refusal
President Trump told an interviewer he would pardon his aides if Democrats win control of Congress and begin investigating him.
Which .... wouldn't stop Congress from investigating him but would make it harder for witnesses to take the fifth?

The start of the Iran War and the collapse of the MOU aren't even really that visible on that chart.
Instead, you've got an approve+12 to disapprove+8 (*twenty* point swing) in the first three months, which I imagine is the folks who reacted extremely negatively to specific policies.

One of the claims I keep seeing is "nobody minded Trump until gas prices went up" and certainly that marginal voter exists, but on the whole that is not quite right - after an initial crash, his numbers have ticked down at a steady, regular rate.
People started losing patience before gas prices.

One of the big questions in this political moment, I think, is going to be the degree to which people not only update their priors on politicians (OrangeMan!Bad) but also on information sources (JoeRogan!Idiot; FoxNews!Liars); the latter is, I imagine, going to be a much tougher lift.

Are low-info voters going to deep dive into tariff policies or the downstream economic impacts of immigration? No. Should they? Maybe! But they won't.
They reply on intermediaries to tell them.
Their intermediaries said, "Trump is a businessman" and "it'll be fine" so they thought it'd be fine.

Being reasonably plugged in to the NeverTrump part of the coalition, you could watch the process by which conservative voices were one-by-one exiled, forced into retirement, or forced to reinvent themselves as Baghdad Bobs for MAGA, because those were the alternatives.
So no one told them.

'Why didn't voters know <that these policies> were bad?'
Because if your news was Fox News, no one told you. If your news was the WSJ, the op-ed pages assured you the worst version of this wasn't going to happen.
Because MAGA spent 8 years crushing anyone who would say otherwise.

One thing that I think is underappreciated in how Trump was able to capture and tame right-wing media is that MAGA steadily removed the circuits - already very weak in the Fox-News-Universe - which were supposed to warn voters about these problems before they became policy.

The question this raises is: why does he have a job?
'Whatever 5 Justices say' is a valid description of how gov't operates in practice, but Moyn treats it like an indisputable normative principle. If that's really all "law" is then it's meaningless, it's merely a veil for the exercise power. Is legal nihilism really what he believes? What he teaches?
![The Supreme Court has allowed much of his agenda in both terms. The most obvious example in the first term would be the travel ban [for nationals from Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen] which the Supreme Court permitted. In the second term, mostly the Supreme Court has been on Trump’s side. It hasn’t required him to break the law, because he was allowed to remake the law.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddvus7otnqtlh7fdooxm6qat/bafkreiaffmbwhmmu3aoqcki6txwk7vho5zjojwg26ranwl56synmomx2ma)
