      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.

      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?
