Thanks for the link, but for the 99.99% of the US that doesn't read the Atlantic, that alert was self-evident presidential power breathing down our necks.

Sorry, but this is a very visceral thing and the visceral wins or loses elections. The visceral can turn a democracy into a fascist state.

I do appreicate your link however.
