TRUMP Threatens Supreme Court With Biggest Fear -DEFY Lawful Court Orders
TRUMPs Threatening to Turn The Supreme Courts Biggest Fear Into Reality
TYRANT TRUMP Appears to Be Laying Dangerous Groundwork to DEFY Lawful Court Orders
Bloomberg 14 FEB 2025
Trump and his officials have stirred controversy in recent weeks by flirting with the notion that they might defy lawful court orders, especially as it relates to Elon Musks authority to make changes to the federal government.
In an article entitled, '''Trump Will Force the Supreme Court to Face Its Biggest Fear Throughout US history''' reporter Greg Stohr details the historical concerns about Presidents potentially ignoring lawful court orders. The judiciary has worried that a president might simply ignore its decisions, according to Stohr.
That age-old quandary is becoming newly relevant as Donald Trump tries to bulldoze his way through longstanding legal constraints in the opening weeks of his second term as president, Stohr reported. As lawsuits over birthright citizenship, spending cuts and workforce purges make their way to the Supreme Court, the cases carry the potential for a genuine constitutional crisis.
What happens, Chief Justice John Roberts must ask himself, if Trump loses and then defies the court?
Stohr goes on to explain how Trump didnt defy judges when he was president the first time around, but noted that he appears to be laying dangerous groundwork.
Even Trump, for all his bluster, didnt directly defy the judiciary in his first term. When a federal judge blocked his first travel ban in 2017, Trump blasted the ruling as ridiculous and labeled the jurist a so-called judge and then complied anyway.
His administration went along with Supreme Court rulings that blocked the inclusion of a citizenship question on the census and barred him from ending an Obama-era program shielding hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants from deportation, the reporter wrote Friday.
But danger signs have been growing. Trump kept trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat even after the Supreme Court unanimously turned away a bid he backed to nullify the results in four states.
Trumps recalcitrance created a stark contrast with Vice President Al Gore, who 20 years earlier told the nation he accepted the ruling that ended his presidential bid even as he disagreed with it.
That buzz you hear is George Washington spinning in his grave...
