Our founding fathers feared the possibility of a Donald Trump in the future.

Democrats want to stack the SCOTUS so decisions always go their way, yet Trump is the one who is excessive? LOL

Democrats and Republican both want to stack the SCOTUS with those that go their way.
It has not always been that way. Both focused on moderates on their side. Now they focus on extremists on their side.

Hamilton and founding fathers described the judiciary as:

• the “least dangerous” branch of government
• a branch with “neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment”
• an institution meant to be independent from political pressure

• Judges should not worry about reelection.
• They should not try to please politicians or the public.
• They needed stability and independence to make unpopular but lawful decisions.

Another tenet of our government, put together by the founding fathers, has been thrown out the window by a polarized government dominated by extremists.

Wrong. Democrats want to increase the number of justices.

The Republicans would to if the Democrats had the SCOTUS stacked.

Do you have any idea how AI, like ChatGpt, works. If you did you would use it.

My mistake, no you wouldn't. Anything that provides the truth and put light on Trump lies scares the hell out of you lemmings.

Pitiful Elmer, pitiful.

So tell me, what is the correct # of SC justices?

LOL Pretty obvious from that statement you have no idea how LLMs work.

Our Founders did not expect political parties to arise. They were sorely disappointed when parties spawned immediately.

But as far as the Executive, yes. They intended the Executive to be the weakest branch, precisely because every other nation on Earth had monarchs/Emperors/Grand Poobahs and it wasn't working well.

False. They did not intend for the Executive Branch to be the weakest branch.

Did they impose some limitations? Obviously. They also put limitations on the powers and authority of the Legislative Branch and on the Judicial Branch. Let’s agree to note the system of checks and balances.

But they also provided for the authority of the Executive Branch to enforce the laws and that has nothing to do with your contention that they made the Executive Branch the “weakest.” Strength is needed to do that job properly.

The Founders and Framers absolutely didn’t want to craft a form of government which couldn’t work. Keep it in check? Yes. Absolutely. But make it all but impossible to actually the job it was created to do? No.

Since you understand AI, tell me why you don't feel it is a good source of information.

If you understand AI you would understand the programs are aggregations of data bases. That is all the programmers need to know. They cannot be expected to understand the data bases they aggregate. That is the beauty of AI, there is no human pregidous built into the system if set up correctly.

It's not "data bases". It reflects the sum total of all the crap on the internet. Has the internet ever been wrong?
OR
As one prominent AI critic put it "AI is the reddit comments section personified". Lots of good info on reddit, but to take it as an authoritative source of truth would be foolish.

Our founding fathers feared the possibility of a Donald Trump in the future.

George Washington warned against excessive political partisanship and the rise of individuals who could manipulate divisions for personal power.
George was brilliant. What he predicted is happening now.
Thomas Jefferson feared the emergence of an elected monarchy. He believed constant vigilance was necessary to preserve liberty and worried about executive overreach.
Sound familiar
James Madison argued that people are vulnerable to factions and ambitious leaders. In Federalist No. 47 and No. 51, he emphasized separation of powers and checks and balances to prevent tyranny.
Trump is at war with the seperation of power and checks and balances to his power

Benjamin Franklin famously responded after the Constitutional Convention that Americans had created “a republic, if you can keep it,” reflecting concern that democratic systems can decay into authoritarianism.

History is filled with authoritarian takeovers: America’s Founders hoped to prevent them

Americans who would accept dictatorship do not know history and their own government. The scourge of dictatorship must never stain America.

The Founding Fathers would not have approved of the size and scope of the US federal government. It was never meant to be like this.

The Leftist loons only want to take down Trump, but have no interest on reforming a government that has subverted all power to the US federal government.

They just want to take the wheel is all.

Absolutely! Limiting the powers of the Federal Government and providing the States with most of the powers was fundamental to their design of America. That is why they called it the United STATES of America and not the United FEDERATION of America.

Thomas Jefferson feared the emergence of an elected monarchy.

Like the Roosevelts and the Clintons?
