“Trump moves closer to a court crisis.”
“I worry that there might be some people in the admin who’d actually like to defy a judicial order. Which I think would be a terrible mistake.
-John Yoo
He’s a #Trump ally who advanced one of the most sweeping theories of presidential power.
“If the courts can’t render reliable decisions, then our legal system doesn’t function. If our legal system doesn’t work, the country is in really bad shape.”

@KimPerales Even an asshole like John Yoo is freaked out? Fuck him. The torture memo guy? A Bushite. Assholes like him are why we have drumpf-nazi. Maybe he'll get deported to North Korea.
"Bad shape" feels like an inadequate description. If the legal system doesn't function _at all_ then there's no incentive for _anyone_ to adhere to the law.
That's... Literally the _deal_.
@401matthall He’s a conservative, so for him to say that, is something.
