The False President

vikaryan on Restore the Constitutional Republic justly wrote:
 
The RULE OF LAW demands that the judicial process function in both times of crises and times of calm. Courts are entrusted with the duty of upholding the rule of law in the face of political or popular attempts to erode it. As Justice Harlan stated:
IT WILL BE AN EVIL DAY FOR AMERICAN LIBERTY IF THE THEORY OF A GOVERNMENT OUTSIDE THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND FINDS LODGEMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTIONAL JURISPRUDENCE. No higher duty rests upon this court than to exert its full authority to prevent all violations of the principles of the Constitution. DOWNES V. BIDWELL, 182 U. S. 244 (1901)
Justin Harlan expressed grave concern that “mischievous change” would occur in our government if Congress was allowed to legislate without regard to the Constitution. His words echo those of Thomas Jefferson, who said;
“Let no more be said about the confidence of men, but bind them down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution”.
