1. Don't you understand. To you, it's a problem, to them it's a solution

to a problem they're creating.
Courts have been handing down half-ass decisions putting temporary holds/blocks for 1 week here, 2 weeks there with hearings and arguments to be held at future dates. But unable to reverse 100% of any executive orders. The court system is slow and deliberate which is no match for the strafing runs this administration has been making.
By using executive orders there is no legislative branch to slow it down. He is ruling by decree acceptable to the Republicans in power. Right now the courts are all we have but as you can see. They don't feel threatened. They are providing lip service only while continuing their lawlessness. I would compare it to a locomotive encountering a strong headwind. It's no fault of the branch, they're doing what they can, under the circumstances.
IMHO, the stress will be so intolerable the result will be unspeakable acts perpetrated on both sides as action and reaction. It can be the end of a nightmare or the beginning of the end of our democracy.
