Nobody would disagree. The problem is here though, and it needs to be dealt. At least these people intend to do something about it.

It sounds like the prequel to Snow Crash.

It sounds like that of a typical response to a school shooting; anything but addressing the core issue. Let's put Kevlar on the judges...

If they aren't ready to put down fascist jackboots they aren't gonna be able to do the job.

The DOJ is subordinate to the Judiciary, regardless of what these assclowns are trying to cosplay.

The Judiciary is equal to Executive and Congress. That's just a fucking fact. A Federal Judges ruling has the same weight as any bullshit Executive Order Trump can crap out on paper.

They still need Congress to fund it which seems unlikely.

You would best serve the "Free States" by helping and protecting your family, friends, and community of like-thinking associates- firearms may be required.

Can't recommend a shotgun enough.

Proposal would move security under judges’ control as justice department has vowed loyalty to president

It's in the description... So yes, one under the control of the Judiciary, not the Executive.

Yes.

It is entirely possible at this point that the Marshalls could be ordered to arrest a Trump admin lawyer, who has been deemed being in criminal contempt of court, or some other LE official that's been found to have committed a crime...

And then this person could then be defended by the Secret Service, or the other members of whichever armed LE group under the Executive branch...

We already have unnamed DOGE, ICE, DHS goons going around basically doing the reverse.

At somepoint, we could actually get an armed standoff or confrontation between two different groups of armed, federal personnel.

Its very uh... early 90s Russia, if you ask me.

The second once, since the attorney general is a fascist.

Honestly, I have the impression that they don't. The 1% already won the game of life, but they insist on doubling down and gambling the nation for...line go up?

The wealthy are addicts without restraint.

I'm sure there are a lot of court cases i don't hear about but they seem to be siding with the constitution most of the time.

Sure seems like they should start holding his administration accountable, right? RIGHT?

I was thinking that maybe the US could use three presidents - West, East, and Center, each heading up a major chunk of territory. SCOTUS could be expanded to have 50 justices, each state appointing a single justice to represent them on the supreme court. The presidents each could select a single head justice, whose job is to communicate the viewpoint of the executives, and to write up the conclusions that SCOTUS factions have reached.

That sort of thing should help maintain the intention of the Constitution, where branches - or rather, interests, constantly jockey against each other, thus being equal. The problem with our current politics is that too much power has been concentrated into the hands of too few people, essentially destroying the balance of branches.

Fun fact: historians call Hitler's purge of Ernst Röhm and other brownshirts "The Night of the Long Knives". Ironically enough, Hitler used that expression in a post-purge speech in which he claimed that Röhm had himself been planning a night of the long knives assassination of Hitler and other Nazi leaders. Quite unintentionally, the expression came to be used to describe Hitler's actions.
