50 Years On

On this fiftieth anniversary of the resignation of Richard Nixon, consider that the Supreme Court of the United States now agreed with him that if the President did something, then it could not be illegal.

At least nominally, that prerogative remains vested in Joe Biden. Rather more than nominally, it will soon pass, either to Kamala Harris, or back to Donald Trump. What a time to be alive.
