(56,198 posts)Just as Susan Collins often feigns "concern" but rarely votes against the Republican Party, at times the courts or Congress may buck Donnie. Collins helped us with the aca, but nearly always ends up being a reliably Republican vote.
All for the illusion of institutional checks and balances.

(18,619 posts)'On Day One, President Trump Took Meaningful Steps to Rein In Administrative Abuse, Protect Due Process, and Improve Government Transparency'
"As soon as he took office, President Trump issued several Executive Orders aimed at bringing the administrative state in line with the Constitution and the rule of law, including an EO titled Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions. This EO revoked a number of ill-advised executive actions taken by the Biden administration and promises to 'be the first of many steps the United States Federal Government will take to repair our institutions and our economy,' including by ensuring Americans are treated fairly by unelected bureaucrats who wield greatunaccountable and often extraconstitutionalpower over their lives and livelihoods. One little-noticed provision of President Trumps EO picks up where the first Trump administration left off on administrative state reform by restoring due process protections and transparency measures the first Trump administration put in place that were inexplicably unwound by the Biden administration to the detriment of the American People."

The Federalist Society approves of Trump's actions, the Supreme Court's Federalist Society Six will go along.
