Just taking a step back and taking inventory. It is really, really weird to see the Justice Department of the executive branch argue for limitations on executive power. OMB has made these people insane.

I'm not exactly sure how many sides that DOJ dude has to his mouth.

At one point he was talking about how no scheme is perfect and in closing he was arguing that the current scheme is just fine and any changes would undermine the status quo.

Not to mention the absolute acrobatic entanglements the DOJ is putting forward to argue that there is a discernable difference between public and private acts by the Executive in some cases but, wait for it, not in others.

And they are still using stale arguments, like setting up contingent Electors in AZ - which is not illegal in any sense, to provide foundation of intent or motive. I found it especially enjoyable when the guy contradicted himself about eleventy-hundred times to avoid addressing any diffinitive tests for intent or motive.

The coup-de-gras was a lame attempt to assure errybody that this is a one-off and no worries because of reasons. Reasons that apparently include the good behavior and judgement that will be extorted from future Executives by allowing the DOJ to destroy Trump.

What a shite show...
