re: Andrew Weissmann's intentional ignorance on checks and balances.

Weissmann is the most corrupt lawyer in America. He let people die in prison, knowing they were innocent. He is a true POS.

He wants to be King, along with other un-elected goons at DOJ.

DOJ's arguments in this case are pretty bad.
SCOTUS: How do we know you wouldn't abuse prosecution of a president for partisan purposes?
DOJ: We're great people, you can trust us.

In one of the exchanges DOJ was asked about Obama being criminally accountable for droning Americans. DOJ was like "well it was deemed legal" - of course it was, primarily because of the labels and status that Obama, as President, was able to attach to these people. He was able to write his own get out of jail free card. Greenwald destroyed the DOJ's position on that and you can rest assured that no one at the DOJ would ever try to challenge that and go after Obama, if they prevail at SCOTUS, because all of this is political.
