As much as I detest the current Court, I don't think they are completely in Trump's thrall. At least, not as long as John Roberts is alive. If he dies or retires, all bets are off. I think he is completely prepared to work around them. The Republican party nominates him, he appears on the ballot in ~28 states, wins the election, and the Congress approves it. Roberts may not show up to administer the oath, but he's not going to make a statement against it. When he appoints new members, they'll be approved by Congress, and the court will accept them as valid because what else are they gonna do. Somebody will surely sue -- but dollars to donuts they'll claim whoever it is won't have standing.
