How do you know #UnitedStates #Democracy is nearly destroyed and in #coma?
The same guy who empowered #Trump is the only guy that can smack Trump down.
#SCOTUS
#Roberts
One man controls the entire #Republican agenda and it's Justice Roberts.
@RememberUsAlways wrong branch of government.
It's Congress, not the courts, that have the power to smack Trump down.
And really it undermines democracy to get that wrong.
The #119Congress lights are on but no one is home.
Pay attention to Republican corporate tax cuts? Your entire premise falls apart if Congress is a wet paper towel.
Nice try though.
The Senate only functions to place Judges and Congress can't even pass a budget.
The only check on executive power now are the courts, the final check and balance.
I'm surprised you missed this. Normally, you pro MAGA nonsense has an edge.
@RememberUsAlways No you're absolutely wrong about how that goes.
The courts were intentionally not given executive powers. They were intentionally not vested with any power to check the executive. These unelected judges are only able to issue opinions, and that's all by design. We don't want to give huge amounts of executive power to people that aren't accountable to election processes.
Instead the power is given to the legislative branch which can impeach and otherwise engage with the executive.
So no, by design the courts absolutely do not have any power to check the executive. Not only are they not the final check, but they're not empowered that way at all.
It's up to the people that we elect to Congress to act against the executive if they see fit.
It is so critical that Americans understand how the government is set up if they care about this kind of thing. And it is really a shame that so many don't understand how functions are distributed between the three branches.
