“Another close Trump adviser simply says that the president’s ultimate leverage against certain judges who try to stand in the way of his agenda is that the judiciary does not command an army, while the president of the United States does. “Are they going to come and arrest him?” the adviser asked, rhetorically.”

      Republicans openly show contempt for the law, just as much as Democrats make no effort to hide an unwillingness to enforce it.
