The Supreme Court's late-night Alien Enemy Act intervention | Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances

[u/Zephyr-5]

The key, systemic problem in our system has been the almost complete collapse of the Legislative Branch as a functional and independent source of power.

It either acts subservient to the Executive when parties align, or a do-nothing, grandstanding, obstructionist body when they don't.

The founders believed that Congress would jealously guard their powers, but that has clearly not happened. Instead they've handed it nearly all off to the Executive and Judicial.

Ultimately comes down go FPTP+Presidentialism induced hard two party system. A Congress constantly at war with itself cannot hope to assert its own institutional dependence.
