Some Dems have always been hawks, and fanaticism about free speech is pretty much a function of who is clubbing who.

Ordinate fear is a useful spur to necessary action. Inordinate fear leads to paralysis and denial. That’s how you tell them apart.

The American system has enough check and balance to tie up any president.
Not when one party controls all three branches.

Judges and media have a lot of power in the system.
With a 2 year political cycle in play, it is easy to outflank a president.

A lot of authoritarian cards remain unplayed. Let's hope they remain so.

Not when a President has support from congress. There wasn't a damned thing the DEMs could do about that tax bill in 2017.

That was the constitution that thwarted Trump. The judges were just doing their jobs.

And so by you there is no variance in interpretation.

Trump's BS that got shot down in court was poorly written unconstitutional laws. Sure there is interpretation but these laws had a snowballs chance in hell of surviving. Just like everything else Trump does it was all theatre no substance. If he has actually taken time to craft these policies they may have had a chance. Trump's failures fall squarely on Trump. He needs no help from the courts or anyone else to fail.
