58. He could have trampled the Constitution for 25 years.

Imagine if he had been there to tell Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia to lay off the steak lunches and do some actual work instead.

There would be few trees left as they would need to be cleared to create lines of sight for the mounted machine gun positions that protect every wealthy person's home. Crack would be freely distributed in non-white neighborhoods.

My lovely mountains would have turned blue again as the cordite smoke from incessant combat hung in the air. Where has the dream gone?
