It seems that people like being in crisis, rather than having stability. (lemmy.world)

More importantly, with how this exact thing happened once 4yrs ago, how did the Democrats do nothing to add checks and balances for the abuses of power he so freely showed he was willing to commit last time? Not one law limiting executive orders, or codifying protections for positions the president chooses. So many additional steps they could have taken to curb the reach of the president, and they instead sat on their hands while the supreme court expanded the powers of the presidency to those damn near an emperor. Nearest we've ever been.

Tell me how that process would have worked? They would propose a law and then what?

Biden appointed an absurd number of judges, which is one check. That aside, republicans currently have all three branches of government. Four, if you count the bastardized agency of doge. You can’t fight something when you’re no longer in the ring.
