Extreme rock and a hard place situation for Scotus. If they rule against Trump on the injunction shit they essentially cede their own authority.
My concern is that with all this stuff, Trump's plan may backfire spectacularly.
He could have enforced existing laws and influenced Congress,
which his party controls, to pass more stringent laws and immigration reform.
Instead he went nuclear with extreme enforcement, very showy, flaunting due process, reinterpreting old laws, and is handing the Dems opportunities for lawfare and daring the SC to show they have any authority to check him.
It's like DOGE. In the end it was an existing department and Musk was a temporary advisor. But he made of big show of renaming it and meming the whole thing and a lot of it is getting rolled back. Some of it is Dem judges, but other judges are just ruling against him on principle and to show they have authority.
He just lost the Alien Enemies case. Birthright citizenship is a huge swing...if he wins, great. If he loses anchor babies are the law of the land. Expect the mask to he off and NGOs sending people to 3rd world countries to convince pregnant women to come and give birth, paid for, and chain migrate their families in.
The fact that they are arguing the entire case on not that, but on the Judicial overreach in general is a risk. I was so tired of all the injunctions I wanted this, but it is an "all chips in" moment. If the SC rules against him, the Executive branch has no power...can't enforce laws, can't run and staff agencies. The Cabinet members will be figureheads who report to the President what their permanent, lifetime Deep State deputies do, as they will be the real heads of the agencies.
