Look back through my posting history and you’ll see tons of times where I have found that the law does not support what is good for my politics. I believe in the threads about Bears Ears and tax cuts you stated something to the effect that you support whatever policies are good for you personally, and don’t really care about the process. I can state unequivocally that I reject your “ends justify the means” approach to the law.

Now you’ve tried a very lame bait and switch. I generally support _policies_ that are good for me personally, but that tells us nothing about my view of “the law”. There was no serious legal / constitutional issue with shrinking Bears Ears or cutting my taxes. Do you have any actual examples where my “opinion of the law tends to vary based on what’s good for [my] political opinions”?
