This has to be a Mafia Boss's dream. To think, any president now can use to DOJ as his own personal enforcement arm. I mean, he can lock up as many of his opponents and foes as he wants and know that, pending months or years of court hearings, he cannot be touched. I can see Donald salivating now. He is adding to his hit list every day.
The court has given trump the blueprints to his Authoritarian State.
