The Supreme Court Has Set A Ridiculously Dangerous Precedent

The Supreme Court Has Set A Ridiculously Dangerous Precedent

This goes beyond Trump. This is about the survival of our Constitutional Government.
Since the founding of our Country, there's been a process for everything. In March 1976, Schoolhouse Rock taught us about the process for a bill and how laws are made. Routinely, people are destroyed on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader," with questions about the legislative process. The United States Constitution as well as many of the States' Constitutions and Charters, all contain instructions of the process. That process includes the passage of bills out of both houses of the legislature (in the 49 bicameral states, I'm looking at you Nebraska), those bills to be signed by the Executive, and the Courts decide whether or not those laws follow and are in line with the Constitution, should they be challenged.

In some states, the legislature holds a "veto-proof" control of the legislature, wherein a legislature can overturn a veto of an executive. Those states often have control of both houses of the legislature and the Governor's office and an override is rarely necessary.

Legislating from an Executive office is never to happen. As a result of a lot of executive action on COVID-19 restrictions, numerous legal challenges have been launched to place boundaries on the out-of-control use of power. For instance, some executives have placed restrictions on the free exercise of religion in some states and municipalities under the guise of protecting citizens from exposure to the virus. Numerous courts across the country have found these orders to be unconstitutional, not only because they deny people of their Constitutional rights, but because those states didn't follow the Constitutional process to institute the orders.
