If Democrats ever gain power again

They need to pass legislation to severely restrict or reform the use of presidential Executive Orders. W Bush abused it, but King Donald I thinks Executive Orders are anything he decrees.

Is corrected and fixed. A Dem President/Congress will need every tool at their disposal because this SCOTUS will try to stop them at every turn. Dems, if ever back in power should use ALL of the power that TSFs admin has assumed, to make sure this fascist bullshit can NEVER happen again.

Because Democrats won't want to hamper their own president while he's in power, and they won't ever have 60 Dems in the Senate who will all vote in lockstep anyway.
