Opinion | Trump wants to be king. Did John Yoo just hand him the crown? – The Washington Post
Powers that nobody thought the president had, indeed. For good reason the president doesn t have them. Obama acknowledged he wasn t king. Trump, of course, would like to be. But no Supreme Court ruling, no matter what Yoo might have to say about it, no matter what Trump may argue, has handed him the crown.
I like John Yoo, though I often disagree with him. But what I don’t understand is how he manages at Berkeley. He must have some powerful mojo, besides tenure, to keep his place.
