The SCOTUS overturning the 2000 election

The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan with no declaration of war by the Congress

The perversion of the Heller decision, bastardizing the meaning of the 2nd Amendment

Citizen's United, that allows Musk and anybody else to simply buy whatever part of government they are interested in
