Slaughter. The ruling completed a forty-year project. Unitary executive theory is one part of it, the claim that the president alone controls the entire executive branch. The rest is a body of rulings that place a president beyond prosecution, leave the disqualification clause unenforceable and remove the independence Congress built into agencies. Judges credentialed through a single organization delivered all of it. In my view, membership in the Federalist Society is sufficient cause to impeach and remove a federal judge.
