I side with Democrats because my policy preferences more often align with them, not because I have any sort of faith in their holding of a moral high ground with things like this.
Yeah. I agree with you on this.
By the way, did you notice Barr citing central planks of the Unified Exec Theory, like the Branches are coequal and the Exec also has a "duty to interpret"? I haven't seen it stated that plainly since Bush. But in this case it is to defend behavior way outside preceding norms of governance.
