Do you think the administration executing this faithfully in general, or just with regard to your one issue?

I don’t think this administration is either, nor did I ever say that it is. I asked why these institutions or organizations have such selective outrage over issues.

If the concentration of power in the presidency, as shown by an erosion of the Take Care Clause, is such a concern, where was the concern about the malfeasance of the last administration?

Because people have stuff they care about more and stuff they care about less.

> as shown by an erosion of the Take Care Clause

Honestly the only two times I have heard anyone refer to the Take Care clause is the current president during some twitter rant many years ago and yourself right now. There are a few good explanations for this but the most likely one, in my mind, is because the primary function of the executive is to enforce laws in a world with limited. And so no one needs to invoke the Take Care clause unless they're really mad about a single issue.

> where was the concern about the malfeasance of the last administration?

Pretty pervasive, if you hadn't noticed we voted in the guy who turned a mob loose on the counting of votes.


Because the malfeasance of the last administration was orders of magnitude less than the current one.

What is the correct term for this kind of bad faith attempt at seeming logical while at the same time being utterly and deliberately wrong?
