These decisions are so thick-headed and inconsistent. The Supremacy Clause is in the Constitution but Presidential immunity is not. The wrong "Right" on the Court are blithely unafraid to look completely dumb and woefully biased.

These empty robes want to eliminate our government and personal freedom, clearing the way for Trump's descent into Nazism.
