CEOs who once criticized the president say little these days. Universities reshape campuses to comply. Mainstream news goes out of its way to legitimize policies.
It's alarming how willing powerful American institutions are to agree with Trump—and how unwilling they are to collaborate to stop him.

Judge Boasberg apparently made the remark at a small session presided over by CJ Roberts at a routine, closed meeting of judges. Roberts responded. Roberts should speak up now to say he thought nothing inappropriate was said at the meeting. He could also decry attempts to intimidate the judiciary.
