(4,033 posts)They are so convinced that their way is the right way that anything that goes against their way has to be gotten rid of. That includes pesky little things like the state of US Constitution, the courts, even the voters. No matter the evidence that every single time trickle-down has been tried the economy involved has collapsed. No matter that every time a state has raised taxes on the wealthy and the corporations the economy has boomed. They are like petulant children with their fingers in their ears singing "We can't hear you".
They already passed a bill that effectively said: "If any part of this bill is struck down, that all state courts will be defunded". Not surprisingly, the courts struck down the bill, including the part that defunded the court. Now they are trying to pull a tRump and saying, 'if you don't do it our way YOU'RE FIRED'. Needless to say, the courts are very likely to strike down the bill as well.
The scary thing to contemplate is when the legislature and executive decide they are simply going to ignore the court, since the court actually has no way to enforce its decisions other than through law and custom. What happens when one branch of government decides to simply ignore the dictates of another branch?
