    Montesquieu knew what was up. If Donald declares himself King and we don’t meaningfully say no as a society, then he’s a king. The constitution isn’t going to rise up out of its case and shoot atomic fire at him, it’s just an old piece of paper that only matters insofar as we believe in it. And, well, [gestures around] I’d say that ship has pretty well sailed.
