The strategy of empowering a nitwit despot just to get SCOTUS stacked in their favor really paid off for the antifederalist anarcho-capitalists today.
Current status: listening to @lamejoan rant about the decline of the technocratic administrative state. I can't help but think history will remember the US spent a century increasing the president's authority over other branches until the time was right to give them autocratic control of the executive.
