If not for the courts the country would be unrecognizable.

Judge Strikes Down Another Big Law EO​

U.S. District Judge John Bates of Washington, D.C. just awarded summary judgment to Jenner & Block, finding President Trump’s executive order against it unlawful and declaring it null and void.

This is remarkably strong language from a George W. Bush appointee who served on Special Counsel Ken Starr’s team:

Taken in their entirety, if trump's EO's had been enacted without challenge, which would only encourage him to enact more, one wonders how long it would be before he suspended upcoming elections for national office.

And then berg realizes that Dred Scott was once legal.

Yep. Tooooatally unrecognizable.
