It almost certainly will grind a lot of governance to a halt as every little minute regulatory effort is litigated to death by corporate plaintiffs, while the Conservative courts slow-walk their proceedings.
Government will still function, but at a snail’s pace, which I’m sure is the entire point: grind it to a halt when non-Conservatives have control and open the floodgates when Conservatives are in power.
Yay. We’re fucked.
Not entirely though actually getting anything past the courts is going to mean something like expanding the court to disempower the Republicans there.
It doesn’t even need to be ambitious. It just has to be ambiguous.
But what does “has to” mean anyways? The reality is motivated judge can rule pretty much anything as “ambiguous”
