Chief Justice John Roberts handed Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card and called it constitutional law. He thinks a lifetime seat makes him untouchable. It doesn’t. Congress can impeach a chief justice. Most Americans have no idea. Spread it.

New in PN: The GOP parade of horribles "This isn't a problem from which the GOP will free itself. Even if Trump withdraws quietly to Mar-a-Lago (unlikely), he's given birth to a generation of R politicians who want to be like him, or worse. And he's trained R voters to expect that from candidates."

Yesterday afternoon in my town, ICE kidnapped a man walking home from Dunkin Donuts with coffee for his family right off the street. New Jersey is under siege. This is the least violent kidnapping we’ve had, but it’s still a kidnapping.
