6. Article One is Supreme, but...
Tue Jun 6, 2023, 11:14 AM
Jun 2023

..while Article 1 needs to be respected and strengthened more than ever in this age of the threat of authoritarianism, Jim Jordan is purposefully making proposals, the very purpose of which is to actually weaken Congress (ultimately) by tearing down our institutions (the mythical - and actually non-existent so-called ‘deep state’).

The other branches must therefore squelch these kinds of gambits in their infancy by ignoring them, utterly. When appropriate, but only when absolutely necessary and wise strategically, the Executive and Judicial branches must skillfully oppose and defeat them.

(Obviously the top of the Judicial branch is a last resort, and Supreme Court practitioners will know of the rare cases where the attempt to appeal is wise.)
