One challenge is the executive can move fast while legislative/courts go slow by design. But the executive needs other slow branches for lasting change.
Remember we were freaking out about a year to six months ago? A lot has either been absorbed into legal precedent, quietly rolled back by Congress / courts. But it takes a long time.
Whatever comes out of these years that lasts will probably be because of SCOTUS more than Trump.
- api 9mo agoUnbalanced executive power has been growing for a long time. It was just waiting for someone power mad enough to fully leverage it. If we make it through this intact we need to reel this in. Unfortunately neither party seems to want to do so. They’d rather fight for that office in the hope of leveraging that power.

Why do you ask? >A lot has either been absorbed into legal precedent, quietly rolled back by Congress / courts. But it takes a long time. And Trump has ignored at least a third of the judicial rulings: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-federal-court-ruling-ignore-b2792939.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic... If congress can't act quick and hold him accountable, there may not be a long time to come. >Whatever comes out of these years that lasts will probably be because of SCOTUS more than Trump. We're still feeling aftereffects of actions from Reagan. History assures you that you don't need everything to be de jure to fundamentally shift the Overton curtain. Especially in regards to the economy.
