Again, if the Mad King can just disappear legal residents on personal whim, he can do it for any citizen of the Republic. And if he can do that, without consequence, then I have no idea why you still believe the 2026/28 elections are going to be free, fair, & competitive.

What Putnam misses is that we're struggling to form community because we've been forced to DIY society. Without unions or a decent safety net, most Americans are caught in precarity and have to put so much energy into paid work and unpaid care for family that they have nothing left for community.

The Appointments Clause is sometimes described (by SCOTUS no less) as a fulcrum of presidential power. But it’s actually an important limitation on it. The Pres isn’t a king and *therefore* his appointees must be democratically scrutinized and approved.
So, this is absurdly antidemocratic stuff.
