When Democrats start planning on who they want to run for president and if that candidate doesn’t have packing the supreme court on their card, then they need to not be picked

The coup here was decades in the making, and highly involved controlling the Supreme Court. The majority here will endorse the Unitary Executive Theory, which was the goal once the right Republican was in the White House with control of Congress. And here we are. And guarantee we’ll see this view change should a Democrat find themselves in the Oval Office again, which is also something they’ll endorse preventing.

Giving Trump full power over the Federal Elections Commission is the truly terrifying one.

Trump and Republicans are burning the USA and its reputation to the ground. The free democracy we used to live in is gone.

The next Democratic President is going to have a lot of fun purging the entire government from each and every Republican appointee.
I fail to understand why the Supreme Court and Trump do not understand this… Unless they plan to never have elections ever again…

So, it seems that some are advocating change through duly elected reps. and we as the people must make it our solemn duty to try and change that. While at the same time We the People should just stand by and let the six repugs of the sc have their way and condemn our lives as free citizens by giving Rump all the power he needs to have anyone not agreeing with his pronouncements put in prison or worse condemned as seditionists, citizens as traitors, freedom of speech eliminated and the end of The Rule of Law. Okay for the sake of argument, let us presume failure to elect honest(lol) representatives literary Crowns him King of Clowns, what sirs/madams do you suggest from there? Revolt and be taken by the Sac. of War to other countries as slaves. Logic is absent, I will admit are lacking on both views. We are at a very dangerous crossroads. It may be decades or even centuries to come back to what the founding fathers intended for our young country.

That’s because it’s a lawless legislative branch that wasn’t elected and holds more power than voters

“The argument in favor of this theory, which the Trump administration makes in the Slaughter case, is that the Constitution vests the “executive Power … in a President” who must “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”
What does that when a President decides to ignore the law?

They’re acting like the wizard behind the curtain, but everyone can see they’re conspiring against democracy.

Independent agencies only have their independence because under a liberal president Congress and the court wanted to limit the power of a liberal president and put the stumbling block of conservative agency heads in the way. I didn’t even try to remember the ruling. so under a fascist they’re going to remove the stumbling block.

Current logic of the supreme courts: the president is king but the agencies that are managed by executive branch has mo power though because we say so.
WaiseGuy on
Agencies were never independent though, they’re part of the executive branch. Which is the problem. They yield significant power delegated by congressmen who are afraid to take controversial votes or actually do their jobs.
Trump shows why you cull the executive branch in that regard and push Congress to actually do something.
