Been thinking about "A Few Good Men" and how half the country would be pissed that Colonel Jessup was held accountable.

Kiefer Sutherland recalls “extraordinary” day with Rob Reiner on “A Few Good Men” set
Kiefer Sutherland was directed by Rob Reiner at the start of his career when he filmed the 1992 legal drama "A Few Good Men." Sutherland recalled the day Jack Nicholson, who played Colonel Nathan Jessup, delivered his famous courtroom line, "You can't handle the truth!" Nicholson did the entire scene from one end to the other in one "breathtaking" take, Sutherland said.

He reminds me of Col. Jessup in “A Few Good Men”.

Right though I’m referring to:

SPOILER ALERT!

When Jessup admitted to issuing the illegal order, and was then genuinely shocked when they arrested him.

Except the person who can't handle the truth would be Col. Jessup

I live for the day when Chump is treated like Col. Jessup in the final courtroom scene of “A Few Good Men” (directed by Rob Reiner).

This Good Cop, Bad Cop conflict is timeless.

It resonates even more now: the appeal of Trump, Netanyahu, and so many other "bad cops" in the world.

We find Bad Cops scary, deplorable, but necessary.
Consciously or unconsciously, some 51% of us often want a Jessup on the wall.

I didn't see this movie til very recently (I think 2023) and had never realized: The incredibly important, life-saving, America-defending mission Jessup was on was sitting on his ass in Cuba.
The coincidence of Rob Reiner's death and SCOTUS oral arguments got me thinking:

The Roberts Court seems to have a Colonel Nathan Jessup theory of presidentialism:

They want immunity & unchecked power on that Wall.
They NEED immunity & unchecked power on that Wall.

I know this is a bit snarky and dismissive, but I'm also trying to make a substantive nuanced point about both Rob Reiner and this approach to executive power...

Reiner's direction & Nicholson's acting brilliantly made Col Jessup both monstrous AND sympathetic...

Cover the rest of his face… dead ringer for Colonel Jessup in “A Few Good Men.”

This Colonel Jessup seems like a pretty cool guy

1984
- approved a CIA plan for the mining (adding explosive mines) of Nicaraguan ports
- supported and funded "acts contrary to general principles of humanitarian law" (via Contras) in Nicaragua

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."
