FAST TRACK

When the President of the United States runs the party that holds the majority in both houses of Congress, I think we can go ahead and call the situation "dictatorship by proxy."

And when the party that's in control has taken an oath to maintain their careers in Congress, no matter what, the deal is sealed.

(Talk of an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution can go on the trash heap of quaint and forgotten history. Political reality has entered the premises. Job One is sucking up to the man who can ruin your career by backing somebody else in the next primary election.)

When a President rules by kingly edict (executive order) and is himself a convicted felon, it's reasonable to assume that many (if not most) of his orders will be illegal.

When that information reaches a federal judge (by way of legal suit) and the judge is of reasonable mind and possesses basic common knowledge, that judge will quickly rule the President's executive order is defective and needs to be vacated.

Such a ruling should be applied as widely as the original executive order was intended to go. If nationwide, then nationwide.

The Supreme Court seems to disagree. Wrong again, boys and girls!

The President can always appeal the judge's decision (right quickly, too, if the President's name is Donald Trump, the man of a thousand lawyers). If the judgment is upheld by an appeals court, the President can pester SCOTUS for relief.

There is no harm to the nation if the judge's decision to derail the executive order is applied nationwide. If the President disagrees, says the matter is super-duper urgent, some sort of accelerated appeals process can be instigated.

Fast track the sucker!

After all, the original timing is entirely up the President. Nothing is on the table until he scrawls his name on the document in question.

When you're dealing with a dictator-by-proxy, everything has to run faster. If the Supreme Court doesn't want to work the whole year round, maybe some sort of penultimate court could pull that duty, ever ready to step in and stuff the President back into his fetid hole.

Let the crime-addled President cool his heels waiting for some final-final decision coming out of Big Time SCOTUS world. I'm sure he'll have lots of other fun criminal activities to fill out his schedule.

Plus, there's always golf, right?
