What are the potential long-term consequences of a less accountable presidency, considering the current legal and political landscape?

The long-term impact could be a significantly less accountable presidency, with weakened oversight and increased potential for corruption. The Supreme Court's decision granting the president nearly absolute power over the Justice Department exacerbates this risk. The ability of courts to withstand pressure from the executive branch will be crucial in mitigating these risks.
