#Trump #SCOTUS

"Vance went on to advise Trump what he should do were the supreme court to try and stop him from turning the US government into a Maga redoubt. He invoked a probably apocryphal quote from Andrew Jackson relating to a conflict in 1832 between the then president and the justices.

'Stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did,' Vance urged Trump, 'and say the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.'

For Toobin, this marks the ultimate crunch. As he points out, the supreme court is but nine men and women, supported by a staff of fewer than 500.

They are minnows confronted by a shark. And the only weapon they have at their disposal is an etherial one: the consent of the governed upon which this whole teetering edifice stands."

@LevZadov kind of funny to say nothing like this in American history while pointing out that there was something like this in American history.

No we all need to emphasize that the solution is and has always been at the feet of Congress.

If Congress isn't doing its job, be very interested in what your particular congresspeople and probably stop reelecting them.
