Elena Kagan Warns Supreme Court 'Overriding' Congress to Give Trump a Win

[no_hypocrisy]

2. By SCOTUS majority strengthening the powers of the Executive,

it simultaneously making the present make-up of Congress irrelevant. But not without a purpose. Bypassing Congress to make choices and law, this ruse allows Republicans (in the majority) from being held in account for unpopular (and unconstitutional) policies. And they can glide into re-election without offending the electorate.

What it comes down to: an inactive Congress is better for Trump than a democratic majority in either or both Houses.
