I will not give up hope for the next two years though; But if we can't win the House, then all bets are off. Stand up, Dems!!!
We have a corrupt SCOTUS. They will not save us. They will not go against Dear Leader. They ARE part of the plan to destroy democracy.
We certainly need it.
But the "final arbiter" i.e. SCOTUS already is his
and when the law enforcement and military is his, no-one will be there to carry out any rulings consequences and he can sidestep the remaining sane judiciary (if any)

The legal system failed the citizens of the US or Trump and members of congress would be in jail for life.
The US just entered an agreement with countries that take women's rights away!
It would be nice to rely on the courts.
Dismissed.
It's easy to dismiss such a shitty system
The remaining principled and honest judges can be physically intimidated. This is why Hitler has Brownshirts, and Mussolini had Blackshirts.
Cannon, SCOTUS and a hesitant A.G. all created this!

Man, what is this? A script dor SNL?
Loyalists without merit — might we point out??!!

He’s gotten away with all types of crimes with no consequences.
Not sure what you’re talking about or if you live in another dimension.
