The judiciary depends on the executive branch to enforce its orders. When the executive branch is the defendant, and refuses to follow a court order, who can compel it to do so? This is the predicament Mr. Trump and his allies have put the nation in. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.
