    That’s a well-written explanation, thank you, and it’s the Trump administration’s game plan on everything.

    Pick a policy, any policy, from DOGE to tariffs to blocking funding on a whim, whatever — it’s illegal, unconstitutional, or both, but that doesn’t matter. If a court blocks them, it’ll take months and they’ll appeal.

    Meanwhile the daily damage is done, and it’s permanent. If/when Democrats are again in charge, being Democrats, they’ll tinker with the mechanisms a little and pose for smiling pictures, but we’ll never see US AID again, and ICE’s ginormous budgets will be the norm, etc.
