 We don't just throw our presidents and former presidents into prison because we don't like them. The upshot of this decision is that in America, we're not a tin pot dictatorship. We're not a banana republic. Not yet, at least. And so the president has a lot of power and the Congress doesn't get to take all that power away and the courts don't get to take all that power away. And the next president doesn't get to take all that power away. And the miscreant libs running around the streets don't get to do it either. The case was somewhat novel.
