The Supreme Court is giving the president too much power.

The Supreme Court seems to be allowing Trump to do whatever he wants by executive order. Lower courts try to block his orders, but the court at the top is likely to overturn lower court rulings and hand power back to Trump. This may be one of the worst threats to democracy that we face these days. Hopefully the people can weigh in against most of Trump's rule. People still can have power at the polls, in the marketplace, at the local levels, and in day to day life.

Trump was able to appoint 3 justices to the high court during his first term. It's water under the bridge now, but if Hillary Clinton had gotten just a few more votes, in 2016, the makeup of the Supreme Court would have been a lot different. She did win the popular vote, that year, but the margins were so close that she didn't quite make it due to the Electoral College The Electoral College is another relic of our system which, ideally, shouldn't be there.
