Biden’s track record backs this up. He got some limited achievements through legislation and hard fought negotiations with legislators in both parties. But when he tried to bypass congressional gridlock and use executive authority, the courts intervened again and again.

Majorities in the the House and Senate would allow legislation which would be far more likely to survive legal battles than executive orders. And it would also potentially allow for action to be taken to deal with the courts themselves to reign in the more obvious abuses of power, corruption, and general shenanigans.
