Part 24 of a series—things I've said here that seem worth repeating on their anniversaries, such as the following words from exactly one year ago.

"I don't know. I guess folks simply don't locate and read enough top-quality analyses in disparate areas of knowledge. Not even 'smart' folks—?

"I mean: I recall reading law review articles, a generation ago, that fully explained how US Presidents have enjoyed too much power-creep over time, relative to judicial and legislative institutions. Thereby upending the nation's checks and balances, making it vulnerable to bad actors in the Oval Office. By the late 20th century it was already fairly clear that this problem, in US federal law, is the analogue to the greenhouse gas problem in ecology.

"Locating and reading...locating and reading...locating and reading. Collectively, it is step number 0."
