With the clear ignoring of judicial rulings and a Congress that seems rather quiet on those matters, do we still have a Constitutional system of checks and balances?
Does the system of checks and balances still exist?
- Thread starter runkpanole
- Start date
Are we following AOC's advice and ignoring court rulings when we prefer?
In the event of inter-branch conflict, the final check lies with the electorate.
Well, yes. In four years. We’ll see what type of system we have at that time.
Trump signed an executive order to remove 'bi' from bi-cameral because camels are born male or female.
The system is still in place. There are indications it will be ignored. We’ll see.
Trump 1 showed us that a lot of our “system” is based on people acting with some semblance of integrity and ethical behavior. Trump never had any, and shockingly, Elon Musk is even worse.

Do we have one, yes
Does it work…..welp that’s a tough one

And it's doubtful if there is a republican with an ounce of ethics and/or spine left in congress.
Correct.
They have turned everything over to Trump.
It’s amazing what a weenie Mike Johnson is.
Less than two.
The branches aren't really co-equal. Congress has the authority to remove the president, and the judges, they don't have a reciprocal power.
You're 73? How breathtakingly clueless you are sums up so many of our whys.
Nope. The Republican Representatives and Senators are too scared.
What a f'n idiot you are. Are you seriously comparing the musings of a junior congressperson to the actual actions of a president of the United States? I realize you're desperate to kiss his ass but at least try to make it comparable.
Did you ever actually read that Texas Supreme Court decision you kept erroneously citing?
Does Ron Wyden have enough stature, or should we ignore his 'musings' on the federal courts too?
He was a mere 'congressperson' from 1981 (before AOC was born) to 1996, has been a Senator since 1996.
Is 45 years in Congress sufficient for you to address his opinion?
"It’s illegitimate. The case is an affront to the Constitution and to the rule of law in the United States of America.
So here’s what must happen if and when Judge Kacsmaryk issues his nationwide injunction halting access to mifepristone.
President Biden and the FDA must ignore it.
Don’t give in to the courtwashing."
I'll type this slowly...they issued an opinion...it had zero weight. It doesn't matter who said it - it doesn't REMOTELY equal a POTUS actually ignoring the courts. Had Obama actually complied with that advice, your idiotic ass would have been here screeching bloody murder. You are a hypocrite of the highest order. Now crawl back up Trump's rectum.
Of course. Among other things, the judicial branch seems to working quite well and is on a winning streak
Yes, DOGE is a perfect example. Musk explained it a bit in the presser with Trump today.
DOGE finds things that look odd and sends them to the relevant department, then they check/keep/cut.
Be happy, this is the best our government has ever served us

Deleting entire agencies established by Congress without Congressional approval is not a check and balance.
For getting rid of wasteful spending, including fraud & abuse, something that ALL Americans should be against…don’t know why a check/balance is needed?
We do until there is no way to stop Trump's actions that the judges rule are illegal. To think that an idiot like trump who is all bluster but doing the bidding of other people who whisper in his ear.
Once the Exec gets to do about anything they want and Congress is spineless like Mike Johnson is, slimy asshole, then that is the end, at least until the 2026 election, Oh wait will there be an election.
A week of legal setbacks — and one big win — for Trump's agenda
Judges have temporarily halted Trump's efforts to dismantle USAID and freeze federal funding, but another allowed his massive federal worker buyout program to move forward.
Yeah they’ve been doing a GREAT job on controlling wasteful spending.
Spell it out dip shit. Tell us that you’re in favor of a dictatorship because you don’t think Congress is doing a good job.
Please inform this “dipshit” how Congress has cut spending and balanced the budget.
After all spending bills originate in the House.
Oh, and GFY.
That has nothing to do with it. Congress still holds power dumb f***. If you don’t like it, vote them out.
There is no excuse for what these lawless criminals are doing regardless of how much Congress sucks. PERIOD
