A couple of years ago...I was reading through a commentary that dealt with judicial 'power' being used to create law (avoiding the legislative and executive branches), and the person came to the end to suggest three ending scenarios.
The end? Well....this was before Trump came along (2016)....but the idea was that some President would refuse to play along with the 'created' powers of these federal judges (and probably the Supreme Court).
The effect of the scenarios that follow?
More-or-less....public attention would go down this path....like Superman had lost his powers, and federal judges came to be just a traveling-circus-show.
By the end of 2025....I suspect even the Supreme Court will be in this lost power situation.
As for people being confused and saying democracy has 'fallen'? Well...how would you want to make laws....without the House having a say in the matter?

As I understand it, potential 'laws' are written by the industry the law-writers are trying to protect:
.. Fisheries 'laws' are scribbled by CEO-types to protect their jobs, hence have nothing to do with fishing people.
.. Vehicle manufacturer 'laws' are scribbled by CEO-types to protect their jobs, hence have nothing to do with making vehicles.
.. etcetera etcetera etcetera...
...then handed to the busy elected representatives.
The proposals are usually passed intact, partly because the congress-critters know exactly everything about getting elected and exactly nothing about vehicles and fish stuff.
.
Example:
House Bill 666-666-666, known as "Drug Manufacturers And Management Protection Act"
.
Provides reasonable common-sense limitations to support makers and distribution of essential pharmaceuticals... (perchance contributors to those very same elected representatives).
.
Os, at least, that would be the way I write that movie script.
