"If presidents decide that the Supreme Court does something they don't like they should take up the clothing of Andrew Jackson No a president is not a monarch and is bound by law. How did Vance get a law degree Wow. Stephanopoulos shuts down his interview with Vance and cuts him off after Vance insists that the president can defy the Supreme Court. https://t.co/P2Kn60Jr29 Wow.

"Because I write about commercial real estate among other things I talk to a lot of people in the industry. There aren't enough skilled workers to do the work now let alone a boom. Insiders frequently express skepticism of the possibility of a building boom because there isnt a ready supply of labor.

"Not just rude vigor. An issue with Trump has been Frankfurt's observation about BS and a lack of connection to truth. But Trump is senile. Like thinking Nikki Haley was Nancy Pelosi or that he ran against Obama.
