The law has stopped this administration on things from offshore wind farms to tariffs.

Maybe not fast enough, but it happens routinely.

The issue is that SCOTUS decides to use administration to reinterpret precedent.

The issue isn't that they can't be stopped, it's that they don't fear that they will be.

If you or I knowingly and flagrantly break the law, our understanding isn't that we'll be stopped and nothing else, it's that there will be punishment, that justice will be done.

How are we at a point now where we all know the administration is breaking the law. That they know they are breaking the law. That they can be stopped months or years later, but there is no justice. Not even the hint or thought of justice.

These people should fear the consequences of their actions, but at the moment there are none.
