No it doesn't. As with so many other things this administration does, this door was not open. They bashed through it anyway.


Either way, you can walk through the door after. Unless we reseal it legislatively. Resetting norms may be a lost cause at this point.


It depends on the door. Norms are one thing, but these folks went beyond norm violations quite a while ago. If someone is going to ignore the actual law and do whatever they want until the Supreme Court calls them on it, changing the law doesn’t help.

Also, I’d like think that at this point “Trump got away with it” does not set a new norm.
