Justice Scalia on what makes American government exceptional: Our Constitution separates powers to "prevent the centralization of power in one person, or one party." In other countries, where power is centralized in one person, "the game is over" for rights.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
