During the Supreme Court arguments on the Trump immunity case on Thursday, DEI justice Ketanji Brown Jackson signaled her dismay with the U.S. Constitution, seemingly angered by the fact that it doesn’t allow for the random political prosecutions of political figure, as if America were Burkina Faso. Like clockwork, the New York Times has followed suit, with a new op-ed published early Friday morning entitled: The Constitution Won’t Save Us From Trump.

Ketanji says the Constitution and separation of powers are not a sufficient "backstop" against a President potentially committing crimes.

The article’s author, Aziz Rana, explains in paragraph three: “The Constitution isn’t going to save us from Donald Trump. If anything, turning the page on the man — and on the politics he has fostered — will require fundamentally changing it.”

Rana, a Council of Foreign Relations member and Non-Resident Fellow at the Iran-linked Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, elaborates: “Rallying around the Constitution means embracing the very text that causes these pathologies. Its rules strengthen the hand of those indifferent or even opposed to the principle of one person, one vote. After all, those rules smooth the path for a Trumpian right to gain power without winning over a majority. And they throw up numerous roadblocks to accountability — even when presidents attempt to subvert elections… this requires extensive changes to our legal and political systems, including to the Constitution itself.”

He says the Supreme Court has “extreme power” and concludes, “so long as liberals refuse to confront what needs to be done to fix the Constitution, [Trump’s] supporters and groups like the Convention of States will control that debate.”

Oh, and by the way, Rana is a Professor and Provost’s Distinguished Fellow at Boston College Law School, which he joined having taught at Cornell after graduating from Harvard. These are the sort of third-world, partisan, constitutional vandals America’s higher-education institutions are churning out. And while Trump is their current target, Rana’s suggestion that “These efforts will persist even if Mr. Trump is no longer on the political stage” is a reminder of Trump’s own mantra: “They’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.”
