Chris Rock, you understand, is a comedian. There is comedy to be mined from the president being a metaphorical boss and father. Part of the reason this is so is because SCOTUS hasn’t prevented the president often enough from acting like the boss of our nation.
What’s worse, I wonder. Comedians perverting our perspective by exaggeration, or rulings varnishing the office with a coat of nearly unlimited power, sometimes for just cause, sometimes for no reason whatsoever, which end up in the history books. More people will end up hearing the comedian than reading the book, probably. But they won’t tend to take the comedian seriously. Supreme Court rulings they do, though both might be of equal honesty.

The Supreme Court can't just jump into the pool; that's the way our adversarial system of justice works. First, a case has to get there, generally through a district and then an appellate court. That usually takes years and many cases that could otherwise get to the Supremes don't because of the "standing" doctrine.
Getting back briefly to the "next generation," I just listened again to the patter song of the major general and wondered how many would understand and comprehend how many of words and phrases there. Binomial theorem? Square of the hypotenuse? There are many others. It is rather distressing.
