The U.S. Constitution is based on friction—on the idea that no single branch of government can dominate without resistance.

That friction is gone.

The judiciary greenlights unilateral executive action. The legislature folds or flees. Oversight becomes theater. And law becomes something flexible—something that depends not on precedent but on allegiance.

This is not a dispute over policy. It’s a struggle over the basic mechanics of democracy. And so far, the executive is winning—not through genius, but through erosion.
