Judge Immergut refused to play Trump’s game, instead held him accountable. There is no deference due to a president who refuses to operate in good faith

A president can forfeit judicial deference through his own conduct. Newsom v. Trump says a president’s decisions must be made in “good faith”

There's got to be more going. It was about 2 weeks ago when there was a mass shooting at a North Carolina bar

From police to our president, and the federal goon squads he has deployed from Los Angeles to DC, we all seem to exist at the whim of supposed “tough guys” whose reputations belie their weakness
