>and courts do not look kindly on it anymore

As anyone who's ever spent more than a few nanoseconds caring about things like civil liberties or government accountability knows, the courts tend to give people who are on the "same team" a lot more leeway.



This is definitely true, but there are limits.


If you make the courts look inept the courts come after you.

If you do something politically tone deaf the politicians come after you.

If you make the politicians look inept that's just Tuesday.
