Thank you for the article!

It doesn't fill me with much hope, unfortunately. The brightest spot comes in the concluding paragraph:

Although the court could be more forceful in pushing back on Trump... “it is unmistakable now that they are calling him out.”

Even if he's correct, I think they're too late and are now powerless to do anything. The real body supposed to be holding the executive accountable, the legislature, is fundamentally incapable of doing so. Add to that the wave of newly minted ICE agents who will likely be eager to uphold whatever order comes their way for that sweet government paycheck, I'm betting the rule of law is not going to save us.

I want to be wrong.

Nothing is going to fill people with much hope until Bonespurs is out of office, and even then recovering from MAGA's vandalism-fest will take years.

I just wanna point out that Trump's favorite President is the same guy who said "yeah I know the Supreme Court said I can't seize Native American lands because they're a sovereign nation and we signed treaties with them, but we're gonna do it anyway because SCOTUS can't back their decision with force and I can".

So yeah, you're likely right, considering he's already ignoring court orders and trying to find loopholes faster than John Gotti's defense lawyer.
