        That assumes that the originalists are consistent or genuinely believe in originalism, but they unfortunately do not

          What you really need is an executive branch that tells the courts to take a walk. If they can't enforce their decisions, it doesn't matter how bad they are.

            Not saying that wouldn't rock, but the executive ignoring the courts explicitly would lead to the collapse of the government and probably some kind of coup.

              They’ve already done that in the past and the country is still here. :shrug-outta-hecks:

                Andrew Jackson was way more intimidating and uncivil than basically any modern American politician tho, especially :biden-troll: .

        The Origins of judicial review is a case about the legitimacy of judicial review brought before the Supreme Court. Which is so funny.

        Only good thing Andrew Jackson ever said as far as I can tell is "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

          I also uphold Jackson caning and shooting fellow politicians over minor disagreements.

          We really need to bring back that good old American spirit of beating the shit out of each other back to capital hill.

          wasn’t that in response to the courts telling him the trail of tears was illegal and he had to stop commiting genocide
