“Since voting is purely ceremonial affirmation of our masters’ authority over us, I don’t see that adding a card-flashing element to the liturgy makes much difference. I am, however, glad to see Trump once again reaffirming Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought’s 2022 observation that ‘we are in a post constitutional moment in our country.’ Vought says that like it’s a bad thing, calling on his audience to become ‘radical constitutionalists.’ His version of ‘radical constitutionalism,’ though, can’t be found anywhere in the actual Constitution. Instead of the mere functionary described in the Constitution, whose job is to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,’ Vought envisions the president as Kim Jong Un on the Potomac. Which brings me back to voter ID.” (02/14/26)
