Trump waged this war against immigrants, stirring up hatred and fear of them, just to dominate our cities

...it's a usurpation of democracy.

An exercise of totalitarianism which depends on the present balance of power to prevail.

That's a little different from the outright imposition of an intractable authority. I get that there may well be insurmountable obstacles to the vote that thwarts democratic action to check these mostly autocratic actions; or that voters might not meet the moment.

Even though there are all indications that the people are ready to assert themselves over this administration, it's still a year and a half until we get to vote.

What I find interesting and disturbing is the way the higher courts are stalling on rulings that go to the heart of what they should be deciding. Yet Roberts dithers and stalls, hoping, I guess, that Trump gets as much unconstitutional action under the wire that he can so they can leave some of it in place with more made-up interpretations of clear constitutional language.
