    All these firings are likely going to result in classaction lawsuits, and the judiciary (so far) has been very responsive to Trump’s power grabs. You’ll recall they shut him down on DOGE’s Treasury incursion, birthright citizenship, and the funding freeze. (Among others)

    Yeah, good luck with that in 2-4 years, when those lawsuits pan out. And then they get appealed to the Supreme Court, where the GOP-majority lapdogs say “yessir” and rule in favor of chaos.

    We couldn’t even get Trump convicted of criminal charges in time. What makes you think the judiciary is going to save us?

      GOP-majority lapdogs say “yessir”

      Historically speaking, on some issues yes, and on some issues no.

      They weren’t a rubber stamp in his first term, most notably on health care, but we’ll see. The culture’s different now and no one can really say how the lawsuits will go, but SCOTUS can’t take every case that’s going to come through.
