Ankush Khardori is a senior writer for POLITICO Magazine and a former federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice, where he specialized in financial fraud and white-collar crime. He has also worked in the private sector on complex commercial litigation and white-collar corporate defense. His column, "Rules of Law," offers an unvarnished look at national legal affairs and the political dimensions of the law at a moment when the two are inextricably linked.

The Supreme Court's decision is a failure of law in the purest sense. It is, in fact, politics masquerading as law. But today's outcome also represents a failure of politics—or, more to the point, of politicians legislators. Many of them, on both sides of the aisle, made bad decisions that contributed to Monday's outcome. All of them share some responsibility for where we find ourselves.

I know I will respect the limits of the presidential power, as I have for three and a half years. But any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law.

I concur with Justice Sotomayor's dissent today.  She—here's what she said [p 68-97]. She said, "In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.  With fear for our democracy, I dissent," end of quote.

So should the American people dissent. I dissent.

May God bless you all. And may God help preserve our democracy. Thank you. And may God protect our troops.
