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.

Shouldn’t we also automatically dismiss members of the Supreme Court who knowingly refuse to enforce the constitution. After all, that supposed to be their job.
