This could be one plausible explanation.
"He believes the president should be more powerful than Congress and the courts. In his mind, that's the only thing that can keep the country safe when it is threatened by war, natural disaster, or economic collapse. He believes that is what the founders intended... He believes that if you look at American history, it's been the presidency that has been able to intervene when we've faced war or economic calamity or natural disaster. And Congress has dithered and the courts simply don't have the mechanisms to respond. He really believes this in his bones."
Much worse. I consider Cheney a rational strategist compared to Barr. He is a low key fanatical Dominionist setting up for the return of Authoritarian Jesus, methinks.
