CNN’s Carrie Cordero: The Institutions Will Prevail and Trump Will End up Leaving the Presidency Much Weaker

EXCERPT:

CORDERO: “This is just one moment in time. This is just today where it happened to be the chief justice who felt the need, both to send a message to the judges throughout the country that he values their independence and that he wants the country to know that they are independent and they are not beholden to the individual who happened to appoint them, nominate them for confirmation to the bench. But this is part of the broader understanding of government and the President doesn’t seem to have that understanding. And he doesn’t seem interested in adapting to it. What he consistently is doing is trying to push down the other branches of government. But I think it’s going to backfire. I think eventually the institutions are going to prevail and he will end up actually leaving the presidency much weaker than he found it."
