…a crusader. A Trojan horse. Whatever you call it, his priorities are not to interpret the law but to shape it with his opinions.

It’s an internal coup by MAGAts infesting the executive branch. They refuse to counter-balance the Supreme Court as is required by the spirit and wording of the Constitution—a document they don’t read, can’t understand, but cite frequently.
