| IMO, the thing to remember about the current administration, is that chaos is a useful tool. And for the last several admins (at least), actually solving problems isn’t really that interesting. It is just as useful for them that court challenges do work (at least against many of the smaller players) - as it gives them a chance to blame the courts, and push for more power. They aren’t there to actually solve problems (well, most problems anyway). They are there to get more personal power and wealth. If they can do that by pretending to do what someone needs, while actually not really solving that need and instead sowing the seeds of a bigger mess only they can solve? Awesome. If some of their supporters get thrown into the meat grinder for that to happen? Meh. As long as they can plausibly blame them for it, anyway. This, IMO applies to all the major ‘split’ issues - abortion, gun control, immigration, you name it. One ‘advantage’ too for those in power for those playing this game, is anyone someone ‘on the edge’ of doing legal stuff has to support them and give them even more power to undermine the legal system, since a reversion to the mean will definitely put them in jail. |
