The problem goes beyond the political leanings of judges to the speed of change and the administration’s apparent willingness to ignore court rulings it dislikes.
The speed of change isn’t the problem. A functional court system can strike down these executive orders as fast as Trump can sign them. It’s not like he blinks and the world just changes around him.
The problem twofold:
One is that our founding fathers didn’t properly balance the three branches of government. WIthout giving the Supreme Court a method of enforcement, they always have been little more than an advisory panel. It’s only held up for 200 years because the Supreme Court gave themselves at least some of the power the founding fathers should have given in the first place and a gentleman’s agreement not to rock the boat which somehow managed to hold for 200 years.
The second is that our founding fathers really didn’t give any guidance about what to do if even one of the three branches of government goes rogue, let alone all three. They gave absolutely no guidance about what to do when that gentleman’s agreement doesn’t hold up. They gave absolutely no answer to the question of “I’ll do what I want, what are you going to do about it?”
And here we are, being led by a man who is literally pissing on the Constitution and asking what anyone’s going to do about it, and the answer he’s getting is a whole lot of “Nothing.”
Bro, they gave us the guidance. They fought a revolutionary war to be free from government tyranny. Trump and the oligarchs are leaving us no other option besides a new revolution.

I thought the guidance was the 2nd amendment?
The answer is violence.
