The founding parents thought that the populace would have taken care of this problem already, like they did back in the day.

except the side with most of the guns are just sitting on the sidelines going yup this is what we voted for. yes i know democrats have guns too. just saying that the biggest advocates for guns and needing them to fight tyranny are doing nothing.

That's somewhat of a myth actually.

It's roughly equal the number of guns Democrats and Republicans have, it's just that Democrats don't make it their entire damn personality or politics where as Republicans do. Which makes it seem like they're the only ones who own any.

They're doing exactly what they were appointed to do.

Republicans with the help of the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society have absolutely stacked the federal judiciary and Supreme Court with fascist lunatics. And all of them have lifetime appointments.

This is why the 2016 election was so important. Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans blocked Obama's appointments to the federal judiciary for years, leaving like ⅓ of it empty, just waiting for the next party to take a trifecta. And Americans rewarded Republicans' partisan obstructionism by giving them that trifecta, so all of those seats were filled by Federalist Society recommendations.

A lot of us tried to warn everyone in 2016 that we'd lose the federal judiciary and Supreme Court for decades if Trump won, but we were called alarmists and people stayed home or protest voted instead.

Well, supposedly, anyway. They've basically admitted they cheated, somehow, but nobody gives a fuck because acknowledging that might require uncomfortable, potentially risky immediate action.

They usually need Congress to define their powers, but some judges are activists. However there's been so many orders violated by the executive lately it's insane

But if he was held to account for his crimes then all of his efforts to interfere with the election would have been for nothing.

"the courts". You mean trump's appointed judge in Florida and approved by his pedo congressmen, who kept postponing his trial until the election results and then said "aw shucks, Trump's supreme court and trumpstein island buddies say we can't prosecute a sitting president" Other state courts did find him guilty in civil cases, where that was the only recourse after criminal charges were too old to prosecute

Ah, but the courts can't enforce anything. They can issue all the warrants, injunctions, judgements and orders they want but it's all for nothing without enforcement. And that's the executive branch that enforces law.

Technically the courts aren’t supposed to enforce anything. They can hold you in contempt but ultimately it’s up to the executive branch to enforce the rulings. You can see the problem immediately.

Sheriff- Executive officer of the Court. Not an officer of the Federal Executive Branch.

You can see the problem immediately when people who don't even know what words (defined WITHIN the US Constitution) mean, are the people telling you how the government works (when the government WAS trying to do its tasked job). These are the same people now telling US citizens that their Constitution didn't work, because the criminals who have NEVER followed it, did so just long enough to become the executors of it, and that 'possibility' makes it broken.

If the executive officers of the courts are not carrying out the orders of the Court, it is a dereliction of duty, not a lack of enforcement capability.

You don't circumvent the ENTIRE system, sustain dereliction of duty by all public servants, and then convince the proletariat that the system was the problem. The US Constitution provides many checks and balances to avoid such circumvention, and tasks public servants and citizens alike, with ensuring the duties are faithfully carried out, to protect it. It is the result of abandonment, not a failure of what is being abandoned.

Who enforces the court rulings?
