While the mainstream media obsesses over President Trump's bold leadership style, Justice Neil Gorsuch is shining a spotlight on the real problem destroying our constitutional republic: a Congress that has abdicated its responsibilities and left America to drift into a bureaucratic nightmare.

The Trump-appointed justice isn't pulling punches when it comes to the Article I branch's spectacular failure to govern. Instead of constantly scrutinizing Trump's decisive executive actions, Americans should be asking why Congress has become nothing more than a collection of do-nothing politicians more interested in Twitter feuds than actual legislation.

The Swamp's Favorite Scapegoat

For years, the establishment has made Trump the boogeyman for every constitutional crisis, but Gorsuch is pointing to the elephant in the room: Congress's complete refusal to make tough decisions. These career politicians have gotten comfortable letting unelected bureaucrats run the country while they focus on fundraising and cable news appearances.

"Our discussion, in media and in law, has been about Trump's excesses and boundary-crossing. A better starting place would be the laziness and uselessness of the Article I branch."

Think about it, patriots. When was the last time Congress actually passed meaningful legislation that wasn't some massive omnibus spending bill written by lobbyists? These representatives campaign on bold promises, then immediately punt every difficult decision to federal agencies or the courts.

President Trump stepped into this vacuum because somebody had to lead. While Congress sat on their hands, Trump delivered on border security, energy independence, and putting America first. The establishment hates him for showing what real leadership looks like.

Constitutional Crisis by Design

This isn't an accident - it's exactly how the swamp likes it. When Congress refuses to legislate, unelected bureaucrats fill the void with regulations that serve special interests, not the American people. Meanwhile, politicians get to avoid taking positions that might hurt their reelection chances.

Justice Gorsuch understands what the founders intended: Congress was supposed to be the most powerful branch, making the tough decisions that shape our nation's future. Instead, we got 535 members more concerned with their next committee assignment than constitutional governance.

It's time for Americans to demand better. Will voters finally hold their representatives accountable for turning Congress into America's most expensive retirement home?

Finally! Someone on the Supreme Court willing to call out Congress for their complete failure to do their job. They've been letting unelected bureaucrats make laws for decades while they grandstand for cameras.

Exactly! My state rep spends more time on Twitter than actually legislating.

Can someone explain what specific case or ruling this article is referring to? Want to read the actual opinion myself.

This is why I voted for Trump - judges like Gorsuch who actually understand constitutional limits!

Gorsuch is absolutely right about this. The founders never intended for executive agencies to have this much power - that's exactly what separation of powers was designed to prevent.

I run a small manufacturing business and deal with regulatory agencies constantly. The amount of power these unelected officials have over my livelihood is terrifying. When did we vote to give the EPA or OSHA the power to essentially write laws? Congress needs to take back control and stop hiding behind bureaucrats when tough decisions need to be made.

Sorry you have to deal with that bureaucratic nightmare. Hope more justices follow Gorsuch's lead on this.

The administrative state is the biggest threat to liberty that most Americans don't even realize exists.
