Even in the realm of political and legal norms that the Trump administration is forcibly bending over the desk in the Oval Office and reaming out with George Washington’s femur, yesterday was a pretty fucking stunning attempt to lay waste to the foundations of the country.

They couldn’t do anything about it? Nothing could be done? That’s your position?”
