Power

According to Russell, lust for power is what drives people.

Thus, it is not surprising that any government exercises more power than it is entitled to by law and tries to expand it all the time.

The idea behind Separation of powers is that various branches should keep each other in check.

E.g., whenever the SCOTUS declares a law unconstitutional, we have a demonstration of a legislative over-reach attempt, stopped by the judiciary. Whenever that happens, we see that the system is working, and should rejoice.

On the other hand, when the opposite happens, it could be good or bad, depending on the law.

However, the recent outrage is the decision that reverted a previous decision which said "the government cannot do X", i.e., they can do X now.

Some SCOTUS decisions are wrong and should be overturned.

But granting the government powers that it has been explicitly denied before?! No way!

PS. I not interested in arguing whether abortion is murder (nope) or should be legal or not (maybe). This is not about abortion, but about government power grab.
