Trump backpedals from portraying Alex Pretti as a 'domestic terrorist' and 'would-be assassin'
Although the president initially reinforced that plainly inaccurate narrative, his subsequent comments cast doubt on the initial justification for shooting the Minneapolis protester.

Key point. The lust to turn every political contest into a matter of constitutional procedure, rather than a matter of conflicting substantive agendas and factions, makes a monkey of many a lawprof; indeed, the transmutation of base elements into pure process is taken by many for alchemical magic
7/ Second, I think Will is mistaken to describe this as a *Congress* problem rather than a *Republican* problem. The last time the Democrats had majorities (and therefore agenda-setting power) in both chambers was the 117th Congress. And that was a tremendously productive Congress!
