I swear to fucking god if I was as useless as our legislative class, I’d be run out of my goddamn industry with pitchforks and black-balled for life.
- Basically, what did they think was going to happen when the Supreme Court game him Carte Blanka powers to do whatever he wanted.
  
  The thing is that they didn't. If I understood the Supreme Court decision, what they did was saying that official actions of the head of state have to be tried by the legislature and not the courts, which is a common arrangement in other countries. The Congress is the one writing blank checks by refusing to impeach and convict Presidents based on party politics.
  
  Carte Blanka
Why should the administration respond to Congress any more than they should respond to my local boys and girls club? Are they actually going to do something?
- They're going to go to El Salvador and express how disappointed they are.
  
  If they get really motivated they might sing a song or two in front of CECOT.

Why would they respond. The most powerful branches of our system has decided to be chattel and have no respect for themselves or their positions. I never realized how important it was that when I was young a senator was a senator first and a party member second. Heck the state they was from was often more important.
- The Empire had senators.
Well friends, hey, at least they tried. A dozen written requests. I don't know what more you expect them to do. Maybe a performative speech or rally will help.
Not true! They also dropped some spicy tweets.
