The one thing this debacle has shown is that the mighty "checks and balances" were just a facade. The only real reason what's happening now didn't happen earlier is because the right person didn't have enough motivation to make it happen. There was absolutely nothing stopping the US from going down this path despite people believing there was.

The checks and balances are absolutely not checking nor balancing. Constitution? Rule of law? Those aren’t needed anymore
