There may be a silver lining. I think that John Roberts is in the mood to spank, and if Trump comes before him with an expansive interpretation of his plenary powers, Roberts will see him as a convincing counterargument. There could be a definitive ruling supporting the free speech right of non citizens.
- p_j_w 2y agoTrump will just ignore the courts. Vance said he should do as much during the campaign and our electorate still foolishly voted for him, so they know there will be no consequences.
- ipsocannibal 2y ago85% of Trump's base think this is a bad idea. Trump is not that impervious to public opinion. Especially from his allies. Trump can't escape the laws of political gravity and isn't militarily strong enough to control the country. If he was Congress would have been jailed by now. He will resist and bend the rules as much as he can. But he needs the system to not break do the barrons don't overthrow his ass.

- rufus_foreman 2y agoJohn Roberts is playing with fire. As are the district court judges.
- Trasmatta 2y agoJohn Roberts is one of the people that have been Trump's biggest enablers. I have no faith that he will do anything other than performative actions.
- guelo 2y agoJohn Roberts has been a believer in expanded executive power since before he joined the supreme court.
