Shorter Supreme Court: IOKIYAR

Or, there's more than one way to skin an election:

While these officials were not "above the law," Justice Kennedy said, it did mean that courts should recognize "the paramount necessity of protecting the executive branch from vexatious litigation that might distract it from the energetic performance of its constitutional duties."

You mean like a meritless lawsuit financed by a President's political enemies and used for purposes unrelated to the subject of the lawsuit, and pursued by persons acting in concert with a special prosecutor appointed by a President's political enemies for purposes unrelated to either the lawsuit or the prosecution? That vexatious litigation?

Oh, and if only this Administration would perform its constitutional duties.
