Not at all—more lucrative to say what people want to hear, raise a bunch of money, and lose, than it is to get in office and need to violate your campaign promises to appease the donors with steering influence. https://www.nbcnew

If Congress doesn't want to do anything, and this one clearly doesn't (they look to be on pace for the fewest acts ever), then that just effectively kicks the responsibility down to State legislatures. Good for distributing power.

It's not moving power from the executive to the judicial branch, it's forcing legislative responsibility back on Congress. Note that constituents in the U.S. have the worst representation of any OECD country. Worse than Commie Chi

This Court seems to be reducing both executive and judicial power, pushing it back to the legislature where it belongs. But we now have worse representation in the United States than in Communist China, we're an extreme outlier among e

In the U.S., the federal government only has powers that have been explicitly allocated by the sovereign (the People). The executive, under the guise of any three letters, can't "decree" shit beyond EOs. The President has enf

Then they can consult with experts, put it in a bill, and vote on it, instead of leaving it up to later extra-legislative discretion from political appointees with questionable expertise. It sounds like you're referring to Locke's

Ah, good point, I stand corrected on New York Harbor, glad to see that. That seems true for most cities that made it through the Age of Sail, but less true before and unclear going forward. It seems trade routes by land were generally more
