When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.
No but I think there are more serious problems to worry about, such as people starving because they don't have SNAP benefits.

Since when does SCOTUS care about the real world effect of its decisions?
The opposition party is inept and feckless.
You don't pay much attention to SCOTUS, do you?
Even if it is against the law, who is going to stop it? Who would even have standing to sue? And SCOTUS will just rubber-stamp whatever Trump wants anyway.
As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?
