"@dillojackal Maybe that gets to my point here nicely because it's the exact same thing lefties say about "principled anti-Zionists" "It's principled even if disagreeable and I don't think they are anti-semites." Well that's a choice one makes about one's political allies. But is it true"

"@dillojackal I think in the real world a few things are true: X. Some ideologies when expressed in their most extreme form yield extremely bad results for some oppressed groups X. Polite society INCLUDING even some adherents of those ideologies tend to shun the extremists for that reason"

"@mbyrnes37 The Take Care Clause the argument would go imposes on the President some duty to execute the laws and if Congress imposes structures that interfere with a President's ability to do so those might be unconstitutional"

"@mbyrnes37 But because the Take Care Clause is a presidential duty rather than a presidential power it would require a balancing test focused on the President's ability to implement Congress' will rather than having absolute control over the executive branch"
