The Imperial Judiciary Of The United States
ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

The Founders created a system of checks and balances that has served America well for most of her history. But that system only works when the three branches remain true to their nature.
You can argue that Congress has given too much of its power to the regulatory state, but that’s a case of one branch willingly, if foolishly, ceding power to another.
In the case of the Judicial Branch, we’re seeing something different. Activist judges across the country are asserting that they basically have the power to micromanage how the Executive Branch carries out its constitutional duties. They don’t, but that doesn’t matter if the Executive Branch allows it to become reality. And the reality is, they’re using Chief Justice Roberts’ treacherous “
normal appellate review process” framework to run out the clock on President Trump’s term. And
Trump knows it.
In 1832, in reaction to
Worcester v. Georgia, President Jackson is said to have announced: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” Donald Trump should state unequivocally that he will not allow
activists masquerading as jurists to hijack the proper functions of the Executive Branch. Americans, like Jesus, Ambrose, and Jackson did, understand there are separate realms of governing, and for good or bad elected presidents execute the laws, not judges.
