True, when one party controls both houses of Congress, the Presidency and the Supreme Court. And don't try to tell me the Republicans don't control the Supreme Court. And when that one party has no respect for the Constitution.

No, the norms that I am talking about are different. It seems we can't make laws on everything or fashion quick remedies for when there is a demagogue in power. We shouldn't have to, but if we get past this, it should be considered. Even disregarding a judge's orders seems to have no ultimate teeth, and norms are mere conventions - no force at all. So what are the brakes here? Virtually none. We have to hope the Siupremes side with law and order, but what are the odds? 50-50. But even then, how do we enforce anything judge's decide?

And yes, conservative's have their own view of how the Constitution should be interpreted, and sometimes they are close to being right. Not MAGA though. To MAGA it's a buzzword that always favors them and not libs. And it wrankles us, and they like that.

So we're stuck, both Dope and Jedi think the tariff war's premise is dumb, but that doesn't help us now. In spite of Trump stating he wanted to keep the dollar as the world's currency - his moves make that less likely. WZ urges us to protest, and that seems a little feeble approach but that's all we have it seems, other than courts, which have dubious enforcement, even if they agree with us. This is not looking god for us.
