    Well, here’s the thing. Supreme Court can say what it wants, but they’re not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Andrew Jackson figured this out through his intense commitment to being racist.

    There will come a time in the not too distant future where a sitting president ignores a Supreme Court ruling. I’d prefer that be in service of good rather than evil.
