On the one hand it’s a great time to be a legal historian.
Feeling so relevant!
On the other: holy sh*t.

new resignation from SDNY Hagan Scotten -- he's a John Roberts clerk -- Roberts can't be happy at that -- and a 2 times bronze medal winner for duty in Iraq.
This is the best of DOJ v the worst of the political system. The lines so clearly drawn

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people.
That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.
