I find it uncanny how quickly, and apparently easily, it has been for the opposition to find a judge who will stop a Trump Executive Order. But it happens, so whether we are dealing with highly partisan judges or a broad swath of the bench who are beholden to the idea of an all-powerful ruling class, and the spending power of very wealthy individuals, the result is that the EOs that are issuing forth from the White House are being shot down like clay pigeons from a mechanical trap.

Is there no august and respected figure (aside from our host) who will stand up and point out that the drafters of our Constitution did not, for very good reason, design a system where the House of Representatives budgets by Continuing Resolution and thus refuses to discharge their budgeting function, where the Executive branch rules by EO rather than pushing for legislation, and where the Judicial branch has become the Legislature of Last Resort?

I will accept the charge that my conservative colors are on full display when I call for a return to the original intent of the Constitution. Now let the other side accept the charge that they are still seeking the fundamental transformation of American society into a system that has not worked anywhere it has been tried, and is doing so by turning their collective back on the Constitution.
