The real litmus test for the U.S. Government is whether the Federalist Supreme Court justices are truly federalists in the traditional sense of states rights that they uphold lower court rulings that effectively enforce that the Federal government cannot do whatever it wants to states. Does the ninth and tenth amendments matter? We've already seen SCOTUS ignore the ninth with the Dobbs decision.#

The U.S. Congress has made itself so irrelevant that it can cease to function and nobody cares, such is another sign for how entrenched the dictatorship is becoming. We will all find out next November that the midterms don't matter, because even if Democrats take a majority of Congress the Executive and his Supreme Court will simply ignore it. It seems as though Republicans in Congress know they are irrelevant and happy with the charade of power and the Executive simply doesn't care because it will simply do whatever it wants and nobody will stop it.#
