IANAL, but, it looks to me like #SCOTUS radically changed the nature of US government this week. Specifically:
- making the President largely above the law in practice (explicitly via immunity, & implicitly through delays in trials and opportunity for self-pardon in the election cases)
- making regulations much easier to challenge at any time by judge-shopping (via Friday's ruling overturning Chevron, & today's Corner Post case)
- making corruption easier in its "gratuities" ruling.
