"Giving courts the last word is part of what got us into this mess. It won’t get us out. ... [The] notion that upholding the rule of law means the president goes no further than the Supreme Court allows, and that we are only in a crisis if he pushes beyond that boundary, is a dangerous mistake of principle and practice....  [The] real resistance must take place in Congress, at government workplaces and in the streets."
