If it is not, then I think we're in a hyper dangerous moment, which we're already in a dangerous moment.

But if the Supreme Court at the end of the day says the president has extraordinary authority over an extraordinary, powerful, even more powerful than we knew executive branch, that's when you're disrupting the very Republican form of government that we're supposed to have.

David?

You know, I think of it like this.

Think of the courts as a rear guard to a retreating army.

And that rear guard can either be very effective or somewhat effective.

Yeah, a retreating army of Congress, right?

And so you have... And that rear guard can be really good or it can be not so good.

But the bottom line is the rear guard isn't going to win the war.

And one of the fundamental problems is...

Article I, which spells out legislative powers, is Article I for a reason.

It is supposed to be whatever term you want, first among equals.

It is supposed to be the alpha branch of government.

And now it's...

You know, it's not the beta branch, it's the last branch.

I mean, it is the last, it's the least powerful branch of government.

And so the entire system, the entire structure is warped right now.

And so until that dynamic is fixed, and it can only ultimately be fixed by the voters, the voters are the only ones who can ultimately fix it.

Until that dynamic is fixed,

The courts are gonna be a delaying action at best, and then we'll end up fighting ferociously over whether they're delaying Trump more or less, but they can only ultimately delay him.
