This is why Trump wants immunity and the Supreme Court justices should read the Mandate to learn how they'll be treated if Trump is elected. Although this is about democracy versus authoritarianism I think it may be helpful to frame the debate by asking voters if they want a king? This may make it clearer as to what Trump and Republicans are up to and what they want. I don't think too many voters want a king.
the irony of the rise of the unitary executive theory is that it argues that the founders really did want someone with Kinglike powers, and everything you learned in schools about checks and balances is just bunk
Heritage is capable of respectable scholarship and advocacy. I am disappointed that they continue to dedicate their resources to legitimizing a thug, when they could be allied with true conservatives like Liz Cheney. The real tragedy is that while the MAGA mob learned something from Trump's first term, too many Republicans have not paid sufficient attention to the lessons available from political history. Anyone tempted to read the "Mandate" should read The Origins of Totalitarianism (Hannah Arendt) and The Open Society & Its Enemies (Karl Popper), instead. Both were published shortly after WWII.

Yeah. they have really swerved this direction under Roberts, the current Heritage leader
