Nov 5

Just took a look at your link and yeah - there are a bunch of other little "doctrines" that are suddenly bubbling up in their questioning.

I know that John Yoo was one of the biggest pushers of the "Unitary Executive" (and there are others). There was a recent interview with Yoo, who has risen from the dead, and has found new life in what is happening - 'Unitary executive theory' argues to restore the president's authority

And agree that although Roberts claimed that the "immunity" applied to "carrying out the President's 'official' duties", 45 has acted as if it applies to EVERYTHING that he has done, and EVERYTHING is "official" - whether before he was President, during a term, or after. Basically for all time (and underscored by the fact that he can pardon himself).

And nothing has been done to smack that down and put some guardrails around that nonsense.
