We need our legislative and judicial branches of government to really step up to
protect the country from an unstable and dangerous executive branch.

The legislative needs to pass laws to block and override Trump’s executive orders.
Let’s get the legislators on record agreeing or disagreeing with the President. 
Let’s make Trump veto the laws and suffer the embarrassment of having his vetoes
overturned.

The courts must continue to test the constitutionality of these executive orders
and stay them where appropriate.

We need all hands on deck!
