No. Fucking. Shit.
The complete collapse of one of the three real legs of the US government. The president was not intended to be more than a figurehead, because the founding fathers thought the populous would lose their shit if they didn't have "king." What a terrible decision. The real triad were supposed to be the House, Senate, and Judiciary. Nobody's surprised when there president goes off the rails, but losing the judiciary to radicals? That's fucked. We're fucked.
Yeah, I know my interpretation of what the founding fathers really intended doesn't have much to back it up. Still, the Supreme Court now going against all previous courts and outright ignoring precident is really, really fucked up.
