Executive Privilege=The Divine Right Of Kings

Hunter Thompson likened Executive Privilege to the Divine Right of Kings. 

He was writing about Nixon/Watergate. 

I was a bit too young to understand it at that time, but when Bill Clinton brought it up during the Starr nonsense, I thought it was a bad idea. 

I still do. 

Because I figured one day some shit heel would invoke it or the rough equivalent, with the benefit of precedent.  

Yep. 

As I've said before, the Democratic Party might have some good people (e.g., Jaime Raskin/AOC, etc.), but it's still the lesser of evils. 

And lesser of evils sometimes lends cover to greater evils.
