This seems like an inevitable outcome of indefinite growth in executive power.

I disagree. This is the outcome of someone who doesn't believe in the law acting accordingly. If there are no consequences, the law is immaterial. If the law is to remain intact, show up with force and enforce it. Checks and balances within the branches of federal government.

It's the inevitable outcome of a judiciary packed with lifetime appointments who put the traitor who appointed them over country.
