Yeah, when I want an honest and reasonable understanding of the Consitution, I always -- but always -- turn first to Power Line. pffft.

They demagogue about "latte-sipping elites" and "flyover country," but this neo-Hamiltonianism has its own roots in academia and the "little magazines." It's just a repackaged knockoff of the Cold War Liberalism of Art Schlesinger and Adolph Berle. "Executive-cum-monarch" is right, with an emphasis on "cum." These people are just the latest version of the sycophantic intellectuals who have attached themselves to power thoughout history.

Um, so are John Yoo and any number of shills who prop the Executive-cum-monarch theory.

He's an idiot, specifically, for quoting Prof. Kmiec on the guidance of the Supreme Court by "rule of law," and then having the gall to suggest any equivalence between that principle and the Federalist Society counterfeit version of originalism being pimped by Alito and Roberts. Anyone with McCain's views on executive power wouldn't know originalism if it bit him in the ass. Patterico is an idiot.
