   I won't say this opinion is the worst to come down the pike since   
   Dred Scott.  It just offers a variation on Peter Finley Dunne's "Mr.   
   Dooley," in that the Supreme Court follows the editorial pages   
   (along with the election returns).  It is not with difficulty that   
   one imagines Chief Justice Roberts's anticipation of thunderous   
   criticism from The New York Times had the Court ruled in favor of   
   the former president.   
      
   Seems to me the Court (save for Justice Thomas) has now given the   
   power of rejecting executive privilege to a successor president who   
   unconditionally loathes his predecessor.  Political decisions are   
   hardly conducive to consistency in governmental transitions.   
      
   It is alarming that a Court that relies on precedent should be blind   
   to the havoc it has now wrought in governmental stability as we   
   careen from one administration to another.   
      
   Perhaps the craven conservatives, joining the rabid leftists on the   
   United States Supreme Court, are pleased to have contributed some   
   small measure to the current campaign to keep the White House   
   Trumprein from January 20, 2025, to January 20, 2029.  This   
   likelihood, certainly, must mean that the Judicial Branch, playing   
   politics, not jurisprudence, has likely acted to bring about a   
   Republican landslide in November 2024, far greater than with Donald   
   J. Trump the GOP standard-bearer, particularly if Mr. Trump   
   appreciates the effect of his departure from presidential politics   
   on the Democrats.   
      
      
      
   This horribilus political statement from the United Supreme Court   
   may well be a signal that the Deep State will not tolerate Mr.   
   Trump's return to the presidency — as it would not tolerate his re-   
   election in 2020.  The Deep State will have shown itself too clever   
   by half in maintaining its focus on Mr. Trump.  It just might be   
   about to learn, starting with the midterms next November, that   
   winning a battle does not determine the outcome of the war — and   
   this war has always been a matter of the aggrandizing class against   
   conservative populists, not against the solitary figure of Donald J.   
   Trump.
