A great irony of the Trump era:
Trump’s most significant legacy - entrenching a @FedSoc judiciary- depends on the institution he attacked most relentlessly:
The rule of law and the courts.
The Trump judges have power only if the people believe the rule of law matters.

2/ Republicans coddling Trump and his attacks on all legal institutions after the election are jeopardizing their one big win for which they sold their souls:
The enduring power of the courts and the law.
Trump will burn down his @FedSoc courts, and the GOP is enabling him.
Dumb.

3/ The left now views what Trump and McConnell have done to the courts as illegitimate (some but not all of that conclusion is right).
The Court seems to be moving in a direction that will alienate moderates.
And now Trump is openly delegitimizing the courts for his base...

4/ A republic is not sustainable if its citizens don’t believe in the rule of law or the legitimacy of its legal institutions.
A horrible irony if conservatives- who trumpeted the “rule of law” anthem through the Cold War - ultimately destroyed it BC of their deal w/ the Devil.
