From Rule of Law to Rule by Fear [View all]

Michael Cohen

They told us the Constitution would hold. That the courts would be the grown-ups in the room. That no matter how insane things got at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, there’d always be a judge somewhere to slam the brakes.

Cute theory.

Turns out, the brakes are off. The steering wheel’s been ripped out. And the guy behind the wheel is doing donuts in the Rose Garden while the Justice Department hands him a map to the cliff’s edge.

Now, let me be clear: Trump didn’t stumble into this. He isn’t accidentally authoritarian. This is all by design. From day one of his return to power, the mission has been the same: consolidate control, sideline opposition, and make sure the law serves the man, not the other way around. And now, the final frontier: break the courts.
