    Sure, that law isn’t airtight. Really, though, what’s a law but a piece of paper when there’s a SCOTUS decision effectively making POTUS king and Congress unwilling to stop him. At this point, are even so-called airtight laws safe from transgression? I think it’s doubtful.

      Yup, the fact that the court cases against him for things that have been fully confirmed by the law to be factual and grounded in reality are just going away because the president can’t be touched more or less confirms it.

      The law can be fully broken whenever there’s enough nationalist energy going against it. And the US has voted to fully give in to the high of that nationalism.
