Progressives demanded that Congress delegate its lawmaking authority to supposedly ‘neutral’ and ‘apolitical’ experts. They then sought to shelter these professionals and technicians from the play of raw democratic forces by providing them with robust protections against presidential removal. Progressives take not as a flaw but as a positive design feature the ability of these independent agencies to subvert a presidential agenda and frustrate the majoritarian preferences that lie behind it.
‘I confess that I have no clear definition of a constitutional crisis,’ he said, adding that he does have clear ideas about what is not a constitutional crisis:
‘It cannot just be a disagreement over the meaning of the constitution. It cannot be just a fight between the branches of government. … Not only do we have these conflicts all the time, but the Framers designed the separation of powers — according to James Madison — to encourage the three branches to fight.’
Yoo, currently a visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, sees it differently, and told me claims of a constitutional crisis today ‘are examples of the hyper-partisan policies of our time than any real assault on the Constitution.’
Whether it’s U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg attempting to block the Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, or U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander blocking the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Social Security Administration data, federal judges have repeatedly stepped in to undermine executive authority.

America increasingly lives under a Judicial Oligarchy, where the district court system that functions below the Supreme Court has assumed power far beyond its intended limited role, subverting the executive and legislative branches to impose a policy agenda dictated not by elected representatives but by unelected judges.

CNN ACCIDENTALLY ADMITS IT: SOROS IS OK BECAUSE HE HIDES IN THE SHADOWS
Jake Tapper and Kara Swisher just revealed the incredible double standard in their coverage of political donors.
When discussing Elon's Wisconsin involvement, Tapper openly admitted:
"You don't see George Soros out there talking, right? I mean, they might be giving money to organizations"
Swisher couldn't contain her contempt, mocking Elon's cheese hat while Tapper suggested billionaires should stick to quiet background manipulation rather than transparent public endorsements.
The mask slipped completely - CNN believes shadowy influence is preferable to open participation in democracy.
