    Congress really need to pull their finger out and reign in the Supreme Court, perhaps in conjunction with the President. The 3 branches of government aren’t supposed to be ruled by 1 of them, but that’s how the Court has been acting.

    The legacy of trump will not be his shenanigans, mostly. It will be the packed and young conservative supreme court and how they reshape this country.

    This is just another avenue for corporate control of the country. Look at the cases:

    • A predatory industry (payday loans) that wants to be unregulated
    • A commercial fishing company that doesn’t want to pay their fair share for conservation

    And previously:

    • The coal industry (indirectly through the bought and paid for government of West Virginia) wanting to keep coal power plants from being regulated

    This gutting of federal regulations is going to set us back years.
