Betrayed the letter and spirit of our nation's founding: Allowed the courts to run amok. We can continue drinking the judicial-supremacy Kool-Aid, committing national suicide, or we can drain the swamp infested with with black-robed tyrants
Trump Could Simply Ignore Court's Order Halting Travel Ban
Does our current status quo make our Constitution a suicide pact? Thomas Jefferson certainly said as much, warning that accepting judicial supremacy would make our founding document just that, a felo de se, as he put it in Latin.

Imagine that, Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist, No. 78 that the judiciary is the "least dangerous" branch of government because it "has no influence over either the sword or the purse," yet it's trumping the man with the sword, the president. But does it have to be this way?
