I mean, if everything is going in the shitter, there’s no reason to have anti-gay people have all the fun; start making religious objections to all sorts of stuff. The Ten Commandments getting put into class all over, for instance. That’s at least 40% religious orthodoxy.

As a constitutional originalist, I do not think that judges should be allowed to issue nationwide injunctions against executive orders orders. But when we have a Democratic president again, I will probably change my mind about all of this.

It's a huge mistake to open up space for Trump like this, as if there's an "explanation" that makes this okay. There can be no suggestion of propriety, Dems need to be maximally confrontational. This isn't something the American people want. This is something that will fracture Trump's coalition.
