Dictators have no need for a court system, something I hope SCOTUS remembers during appeal hearings.

Dictators love a court system, so long as its stacked with their cronies. But the last 40 years of Reaganism has been about stacking the courts with Neocons. Trump's a Paleocon.

Beneath them, maybe. But there would certainly be no need for SCOTUS.
