The courts are the last bulwark against this tyranny. They work very slowly, surely not suited to 21st-century speed. But they do work. The tariffs have been found to be illegal, this is headed to the SC. Using National Guard in LA was found to be illegal. Yes, a bit late. But the '26 election is coming and this guy will see how Americans like all this nonsense.

The consequences land on citizens paying these taxes, losing jobs, and they're going to live with the long term consequences while SCOTUS empowers the executive branch and their friends.

All they need to do is start checking people for mumble mumble reason, and polling closes before city folks get a chance to vote. These guys are way ahead of you. You're playing a game of rock paper scissors, and telling everyone that you're going to use scissors in November '26.
