The Supreme Court handed down not only a ruling that admonishes Trump's dislike for the U.S. constitution, it slapped the GOP controlled congress in the face (not in words) for allowing Trump to take control of the legislative process for raising taxes that the constitution does not provide for. The 6-3 decision by the court brought about the usual response from Trump on his social media.
Trump's reaction to the decision also indicated just how committed he is to establish authoritarian rule, regardless of the constitution and his oath of office. Don't look for the coward GOP to remind Trump of the power congress has in controlling his appetite for power. They are too weak as a party and individuals, especially Louisiana's delegation serving in congress.
The Supreme Court has a role for controlling Trump's thirst for authoritarian power by ruling against him when he intends to bypass or sidestep the constitution and the rule of law. That is when enough pressure will mount and be enough to impeach him from office for good.
In the coming months the court's decision will bring out the worse from Trump and his supporters, especially from the media pundits who have been feeding the public Trump and the GOP's lies and misinformation. The future of America the Beautiful still looks bright because of a SANE Democratic steady party in Washington and the people that support them. The darkness will lift with time, Trump and his party will be gone and America will once again be the country our forebearers laid the foundation for.
