It seemed like people didn’t really like when Obama expanded the power of the executive or when Biden did things that were obviously over reach (e.g. loan forgiveness).

Does MAGA want an expanded executive? Trump is pretty much saying we’re on war /national emergency footing at all times. (Tariffs, deportation, etc.). So he can do things that would normally be reserved for Congress. Presumably the next dem will get those powers too.

Is this a good thing?

Hypocrites every last one of them.

The worrying thing is they know that they are intentionally pushing executive power boundaries and that injunctions and appeals are part of that process. It makes you think they’re just harping about how unreasonable the idea of judicial review is so that the maga base will support defying the courts when they decide to do it. Which of course the base will, because, magats.

Magats gonna magat.

I’m not saying this to be dramatic - but I get the sense that a lot of Americans genuinely love America, but kinda don’t know what the constitution is.

Or they might see it as something akin to the national anthem, or historical relic that marked the beginning of our country.

I have no issue with actions being challenged in the courts. It's a sign of health. Is it inconvenient? Sure. But I suspect Biden found it that way too. Trump is testing the boundaries. I have no problem with that either. We'll be fine.

We’ll be fine if he doesn’t openly defy judicial rulings. If he does I’m not sure how we get the toothpaste back in the tube.
