Rules of Engagement, adhering to international law, to your own constitution , has real advantages, that have nothing to do with idealism. Trump is throwing that all away and slowly but surely destroying US power and influence.

The judge threw out Virginia's redistricting (election just yesterday) - on the grounds of the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution.

I am thinking of drafting (yet another) proposal for our US Constitution.
The problem is that our Constitution creates a legislative ratchet - once a law that delegates power to the President is passed it is difficult for Congress to remove that law because Presidents are extremely reluctant to relinquish authority, even if they are not using that authority.
This time the idea is to extend Congress' powers so that Congress can claw-back grants of authority to the President. (…
