“We may be sure that the ‘separation of powers’ doctrine is of no interest to the vulgar egotist currently residing in the White House, which happens to be undergoing the most glorious renovation the world has ever known. Or so we hear. But it stands to reason that the doctrine is vital to personal liberty. No imagination is needed to understand what concentrated political power is likely to mean for the individual and society. … If political power must exist, it must be contained, and the way to do that is dispersion among branches and levels.” (10/31/25)
