Presidents are not kings

I think that says it all.  That was the most memorable line in a 120-page decision by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia.  “Presidents are not kings.”

Judge Jackson also said  that White House officials owe their allegiance to the Constitution.  Presidents ”do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control.”


The Justice Department, now a sycophant to Trump, will appeal this decision.  I would remind the Justice Department that our forefathers once fought a revolution on this ideal, and if need be, we can fight another.
