When a conservative NFL blog site talks about this current lawless administration....

...you KNOW the fascist takeover of America by the criminal imbecile is starting to shock even the most level-headed, non-interventionist bystanders is taking place.
Mike Florio and his "Pro Footbal Talk" site has been a sucessful pro football "inside info" place for fans to read about the latest comings and goings in the sport. It, and it's readership, has been pretty conservative through the years, but other than the occasional comment (comments were disabled awhile back, probably due to the sites growth and inability to manage the number of knuckleheads saying stupid shit), they strickly stuck to football issues.
In a break from that today, Mr Florio made some very astute observations of the current situation.

It is well worth the 5 minute read:

Especially baseball. One incident would go nuclear. I hope it doesn't happen.

People must be worrying.

Yeah, because there's no conservative activist judges at all. No way. Isn't that what the Dobbs decision showed us?

resides a core question of whether the executive, legislative, and judicial branches will continue to be co-equal. As the founders intended. And as the country has operated, for nearly 250 years.

Here’s the problem. Currently, the executive branch has no regard for decisions of the judicial branch that conflict with the executive’s agenda. They’ll never complain about the victories. They will routinely and aggressively attack the defeats, by all means necessary. Including flat-out refusing to comply with them.

That’s not how it’s supposed to be. I worked in the legal profession for 18 years. When you win, you win. When you lose, you lose. You may not like losing, but you’ve lost. You deal with it, and you move on.

Not this executive branch. When this executive branch loses, the judges are vaguely threatened with impeachment. They are attacked as impeding the will of the government. And their orders are ignored.
