Which Christian Civilization, Bret? The Catholic kind? Protestant? Lutheran? Calvinist? Huguenot? Quaker? Should they relitigate the Peace of Westphalia? Revisit the Inquisition? Reappoint a Lord Protector? The Enlightenment- in all of its secular and tolerant glory - happened for a reason.

What I don’t get about the unitary executive theory….what branch of government does SCOTUS think is next up after Congress gets its time in the barrel? And who is going to protect that third branch if not Congress?

To declare that a 90-year-old precedent is unconstitutional is to declare that is has been unconstitutional for all of those 90 years and three generations of judges were just too ignorant to understand the truth. This is the height of arrogance.
