Decent enough breakdown, but FWIW, I think it overlooks a much wider Article I crisis that is not captured by "Rescissions"

They're going to miss it when it's gone.

No need to @ me. I have no sympathy for Platner, I just thought it was ridiculous that someone couldn’t do a basic search before replying with “why didn’t he do this thing with the tattoo that he already did”. Other people have other goal posts and they should feel free to have their own standards.
