I know it's never gonna happen but my god I pray for a dem to win in 2028 and make them regret giving the president unlimited authority. As Trumps favorite former president said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"

I get it, I want retribution as well. That said, what we really need to do is for congress to nut up and limit some of the executive's power. The president has gotten entirely too powerful and we need to reign that office in.

Propose the 'you can stop me at any time act' and then start abusing executive power until enough of the GOP are willing to support whatever is needed up to and including a constitutional amendment to create limits with teeth.

That is when Roberts will stop allowing executive orders to stand without review.

End filibuster and expand court. Nothing Roberts can do about that. At all.

Exactly what Biden should have done after their king decision.
