And there it is… What he really wanted

    • YUP. Guaranteed they will. They’ve warned these assclowns to stop fucking with the judiciary, and they’re now signalling they’ll be proactively ruling on things like this.

        The issue is more: will it matter at all?

        Genuinely serious. Jackson is Trump’s favorite President for a reason: he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him, neither Congress nor the SCOTUS can actually do anything about a President acting in contravention of a court order. If the SCOTUS says “this bill is unconstitutional​”, will it stop anyone from actually acting like it’s in force?

        • he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him

          Well good news, he’s not actually that popular. I’m baffled that he’s still got an aggregate 47% approval rating, but even faux news’ poll has him down to 44% and he was only above 50% in poling for less than a 2 weeks after he came into office.

          And that’s all before the most recent news about the medicare/medicaid slashing. And ahead of the coming wave of layoffs due to the economy slowing down. The policies he’s trying to enact are going to (slowly) erode what support he still has as his base realizes just how fucked they are.

      Haha. Can they? Who knows. Will they? Probably not.

      I don’t know why people think rules still apply. They might say something but they came out 9-0 against him and he still claims a unanimous victory and the courts, media and American public all just shrug.

      Can SCOTUS strike down a bill that says their rulings don’t have to be followed?

      This is what passes as an interesting Paradox to MAGA Nazis.

      The same court has already given absolute power to the president, so the minutia doesn’t really matter.
