Yeah I mean specifically that Mao killed millions of people through a combination of ineptitude and taking the lessons from the wars he fought in into government.

History has shown that allowing any body to regulate its own conduct with no oversight will not end well. Alito seems to think that because they're a separate branch, they're immune to any kind of regulation.

Maybe the owner of an electric car company that largely appeals to people who care about the climate shouldn't have shown his true edgy 13 year old reactionary personality to the world.
