No, really.

It means somebody has gotten a hold of him and told him to shut the fuck up.

Somebody pulled him aside and explained that before the Chimp came along, American presidents were not known to take political positions on legal matters currently or potentially pending.

Somebody explained to him what he neglected to learn about the Constitution when he was teaching college students all about the Constitution. The basics.

Hurray!

No, really. It's encouraging.
