The Anti-Federalists were correct that the judiciary had to be a strictly defined and emphatically weaker thing then the Presidency and the Legislative houses, to prevent corruption by judges who would make themselves tyrants who would change America as they saw fit. The Anti-Federalists only wanted federal judges to interpret the law and handle appeals from the states and nothing more, and even then interpretation had to be defined. The Federalists shooed away these concerns and criticism and assured everyone that the law as was in 1780's prevented the American judiciary from growing too much power. Marbury v. Madison essentially and immediately destroyed that Federalist illusion as John Marshall made the federal judiciary equal to Congress and the President through "judicial review".

Many, many decades later, the judicial system has been putting itself higher in federal hierarchy than the presidency, just as they put themselves higher than Congress and the states in the late 19th and 20th centuries. How in Heaven and Hell are the federal judges enforcing these rulings, if they always act higher than those who are meant execute the law and and functions of the federal government? Is Trump just lying down as a lame duck? Is he afraid of some group of the military or police that will be more faithful to the judges than him? You only have to tell these judges to fuck off and learn their place. If they don't like being told they were always meant to be weaker than the President and Congress, tell Congress to impeach and attempt conviction again or make some amendment to the Constitution.

America the Founders created is long dead. God damn the New America. God save Dixie.
