President Donald Trump has faced several setbacks from federal courts, which have blocked or paused some of his most controversial plans since taking office.
I dunno. SCOTUS has been quietly amassing power like the Executive Branch through the likes of the shadow docket. They’re another unchecked power that’s gone amuck, look at the fact they resisted the ethics. Their wording on presidential immunity is purposely vague, they get to decide what’s official with the POTUS, not the POTUS. There’s a high chance they use it to try to “Save” everyone when something particularly nasty comes up to try to get a good light on them and try to amass more power.
Of course… the problem with this plan is a distinct lack of enforcement power the SCOTUS has.
I’m convinced that the plan was for the SCOTUS to drop the hammer on Trump, but they were waiting until after the election so they could look like good Republicans… then he won.
