    You say that, but majorities across the board are razor thin. Assuming there’s still midterms a lot of this can be flipped.

    The courts of course will be harder to fix

        In our system a large enough majority in congress can overrule a lot of what the courts are doing unless they go absolutely bonkers.

        The court can say there’s nothing the in the constitution that prevents “X”, but congress with a large enough majority can pass a bill without the president’s signature to expressly allow “X”.

        Our courts have not yet shown a willingness to go totally rouge and have voted against Trump several times this administration alone, but they always could go rouge I suppose. And of course they make shitty decisions like these.
