We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

A lower court had ordered the reinstatement of Hampton Dellinger, a lawyer confirmed last year for a five-year term. This case is the first of Trump’s flurry of orders to reach the Supreme Court. The Court’s decisions could further fuel calls for term limits, as America is fed up.

I've been waiting for someone to make this point as clearly as @pbump.com did last week:

The entire Federal law enforcement apparatus is a part of the Executive Branch. All of it. So if they don't want to enforce a judge's rulings, or, for that matter, the law... then who?

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.
