Dont worry it will totally happen and we won't need a functioning executive branch to enforce the judges ruling on the executive branch.
Yup. This is the current line in the sand. We've crossed several already, to be clear, but the important one right now is this particular showdown between the Executive and Judicial branches of government. Congress is working on getting their shit together, but overall the Legislative branch has not been effective lately at holding up its responsibility as a check on Executive or Judicial powers. The Judicial side has been checkered, at best. And the Executive side is led by a reflexive fascist.
We really need the whole "checks & balances" thing to work if we are going to try and convince the rest of the world we are still a functioning democracy. I'm losing confidence that the problems of our nation will be resolved diplomatically, and I'm equally worried that we're not ready to meet this moment in time to avert some very troubling times in the U.S. of A.

OK, I meant there are a few progressive voices screaming into the void, of course, but it's what we have at the moment and I'm trying my best to stay optimistic
I think they meant that Congress are literally gathering poops from various sources to feed their shit-eating grins.
