    One of the great failings of this government is not providing a punishment for repeatedly issuing unconstitutional orders. He has exactly zero incentive to stop.

      Our Congress has allowed a lawless president to do whatever he wanted. It is a MAGA coup dresses as Republicans.

      Checks and balances doesn’t work if one party is in charge of everything. I found the John Oliver episode about Hungary to be particularly terrifying.

      Imagine if Trump rigged the election so they had a super majority in the senate and a majority in the house. They could rewrite the constitution. What then?

        Re-writing the constitution (e.g., amendments) also takes approval from the states themselves.

          According to … the constitution

          There’s some circular logic happening which Trump sees through. Much like SCOTUS, the constitution can’t enforce itself. So you can just bully it.

          True. I guess he can interpret it however he wants and trust that the supremely court will back him.

          I saw he will be the first president sitting in on arguments to the supremely court. I wonder if this is an attempt to intimidate justices that might go against him.
