Will the Supreme Court permit Trump to be above the law?

[Zorro]

“I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.” So said President Trump last year, and he has been doing his best ever since to embody that grotesquely inflated constitutional self-conception.

Thus, Trump blocked Anthony S. Fauci from testifying this week before the House. “The House is a setup,” Trump proclaimed. Yes, set up by the Constitution, as part of a coequal branch.

Thus, Trump announced that the administration, abandoning its duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, would not defend the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.

Thus, administration lawyers urged the federal appeals court in Washington to declare that Congress has no right to go to court to enforce subpoenas of executive branch officials and, separately, no standing to sue over White House redirection — that is, hijacking — of appropriated funds to build the border wall.
