I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail.

I choose the latter:

The Judges order to turn planes around was ignored because of the irrelevant argument "They were over international waters." Judicial order was held in contempt and ignored. If the judge lets this test case slide we are officially in an autocracy.

When confronting those true believers on the right, Milton Mayer's quote comes into stark focus. Like the frog in boiling water, even when confronted with Cassandra like warnings, they remain ignorant of the dangers of Americas lurch to Authoritarian, Theocratic, Fascism, and their own part in it.

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵
