    When the trifecta of the president, congress, and the voters all disagree with the courts, why can’t they act against them? And who exactly can act against SCOTUS?

    No liberal or progressive should spend time defending this deeply undemocratic judicial branch.

      Congress disagrees, specifically the House of Representatives, and “all the voters” currently disagrees with SCOTUS? Huge citation needed.

      “No true Scotsman”, eh? I’m pointing out the rules in our Constitution for how our government works.

      We have a peaceful transfer of power during administration changes. I don’t understand how you are so quick to try and throw that away. Thats what Trump tried to do on Jan 6th. Why are you suggesting following his playbook?
