>...Multiple SCOTUS judges who call themselves "originalist" have been attempting to enable POTUS doing things without Congressional authorization despite the plain language of the Constitution forbidding those things.  So, that solution has been shown not to work.  That solution also does nothing about needing to take a while to file lawsuits in the first place, authorizing ongoing harm in the short term - indeed, a series of ongoing harms: when (or before) the courts shoot one down, another pops up.

Solution: appoint justices who are still more originalist and who respond sooner.

Bright vs Raimondo decision of 28 June 2024 offers hope.  That case specifically limits executive branch power, reminding us that congress makes the laws, not the executive.  It limited the power of executive branch bureaucracies.
