The gravity and extent of the damage being done to our constitutionally-guaranteed rights and freedoms by this administration is mind-boggling, says constitutional law professor Kim Wehle.

The scary thing is, it's not Trump doing all this. Trump is much too dumb to come up with all this egregious unconstitutional shit.

The ones doing all this are Trump's handlers over at the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society: those people work quietly behind the scene, they're most definitely not dumb, and they've been preparing the scene for many decades. What's happening today is just the culmination of the work they've been doing to subvert the justice system, all the way to the Supreme Court.

Trump is their useful idiot at the White House. But if Trump dies, is incapacitated or impeached, the next useful fascist in line to do their bidding is Vance. Vance is definitely not an idiot, and is a lot more dangerous than the demented orange utan.

Vance is the true danger hiding in plain sight in this administration.
