You can almost see in this an inexorable battle between the imperial court and the imperial presidency that the court itself created.

How about disassociating themselves from The Claremont Institute, the hard-right think tank devoted to creating intellectual rationalizations for Trump’s 2021 coup attempt and the imperial presidency?

Sozan said states such as California are “acting as a very important bulwark against the new imperial presidency,” and that Bonta and other state attorneys general “are going to play a key role in the months ahead,” too, as Trump “tries to test the boundaries of the law and of court precedent and of democracy.”

The reason these facially absurd autopen claims are so vitally important to the emerging theory of the imperial presidency is that they reveal precisely how cynical Trump’s view of boundless presidential power really is.

He’s trying to create an imperial presidency — and he’s ruling by decree.
