Congress is his people and just sycophants, but the real tragedy as far as separation of powers goes is that the SCOTUS majority has chosen to ignore their job and put their hands in their pockets.

Anytime a judge does something that might result in a confrontation SCOTUS sets it aside while the legal process continues ... this a farce as in the meantime people are fired, tax payer data is handled poorly, budgets are cut and everything falls apart. Effectively the law is ignored and the damage is allowed to happen regardless of the court outcome. It won't matter by the end of it all. It's the same as SCOTUS rubber stamp approving all of it...

IMO they've disqualified themselves for that job by simply refusing to do it.

Republicans could, and should have removed Trump from office after the Jan 6 attack. They are the real cowards.

Yeah that party really has had no real leadership for ages. Just one "strong man" showed up and they were happy to push out any remnant of critical thinking and they're just empty suits.

Every traditional Republican ideology is now upside down / been violated with gusto.

They're a whole new party in many ways.

		If you've talked to many "real American" Republican voters, Trump is exactly what they've wanted since at least the 90s. "Traditional" Republicans were just all they had as an alternative to Democrats, who are obviously going to make your kids gay and take all your guns and impose sharia law and implement communism, so you can't conceivably vote for one of them. What's new is someone had the money and platform and good idea to leverage that huge gap between what Republican voters wanted, and the Republican platform, to judo-flip and pin the whole official party apparatus in the span of a couple years. Republicans, the voters, didn't change, or if they did, it was years and years before Trump.

It would only be cowardly if the party actually saw what he did as wrong.
