Can we count on the the judiciary and even the legislature getting royally pissed?
I'm just waiting for the other two branches of government to wake up and say, "Not so fast, Donny!" I'm counting on our government living up to what I was taught in grade school. Checks and balances. No dictators here, thank you!!!
Our democracy is far more fragile than some might grasp and Trump is engaging in a concerted effort to undermine the workings of it.

Let's be blunt, because the stakes demand it: An independent federal judiciary is our last, best hope at preventing Trump from violating the US Constitution and illegally grabbing power.
