What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[The Minsky Moment]

The weird thing is is that FDR, who had won an election with 61% of the vote and 46 out of 48 states and whose party controlled 334 out of 435 House Seats and 75 out of 96 Senate Seats did not have this authority. He was consistently thwarted by the Courts for his policies, leading to his unsuccessful court packing scheme.

The court packing scheme became unnecessary because Owen Roberts switched sides, ending the Lochner era and paving the way for the constitutionalizing of the New Deal. The next year he would join the Carolene Products majority that endorsed the vast expansion of the Commerce Clause power.  Robert's ideology shift was noticeable and dates from FDR's huge election win his second term.

So there is some precedent, but there isn't precedent for two justices who are entirely "in the bag" - i.e. who will consistently vote politically to favor one administration or opposed another, no matter the facts, the law, the precedent, or even their own recent votes. The fact that the two justices in question are the two most implicated in the Court corruption scandal only underlines the concern.  Kavanaugh isn't quite as bad, but still really bad; he is a VERY political justice.

YouTube Music brought this up and I liked it. More visceral than Springteen's take:
