Yglesias has one great paragraph on how Obama’s team conned reporters and Republicans into thinking Romneys’ loss was because he didn’t endorse amnesty! https://t.co/3887ZOuykB

The ratchet is familiar to readers of Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion in the DACA case: He agrees it was unlawful for Obama to grant work permits to those “DREAMER” illegals without a “rulemaking”.

Trump’s pledged to abolish the Department of Education. But Congress has established by law (with a president’s signature) not just “the department itself but several specific offices inside the department.” So Trump’s such an authoritarian he seems to be…obeying Congress. https://t.co/qj66CoegVT

The universal appeal thing isn’t working. Time to lean into the story and play the partisan card, which is a powerful card. (P.S.: Just because you buy a ticket doesn’t mean you have to go. It can be like one of those local police banquets.)

Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems like Trump could have a strong and effective deportation policy even if he lost on all these issues.

True. But there are at least two separate issues, it seems to me: 1) Does Rubio have the legal power to do this to (hypothetically )Jordan Peterson and 2) Is that a really foolish and offensive thing to do. He may have the power to do a stupid thing. https://t.co/2q3dlhn6nr
