Many of President Donald Trump’s executive orders have landed in court, raising the question of what judges can do if he chooses to defy them. Here's what to know.

He will defy the courts. His ominous little Napoleon quote tweet all but guaranteed it. The US is a dictatorship already. But it's the early stages. There may still be time. A massive uprising from the people is the only thing that will save democracy. And/or a military coup.
Of everything that is happening, and it is overwhelming how fast the train is moving, this is the one to keep a careful eye on. This is the remaining member of the check and balances that were designed into the framework of our Constitution to prevent a takeover of our country.
As an admirer of the US, 🇺🇸 one could argue that the Constitution of America is being viewed by its former friends and admirers as regrettable being ignored in many instances, or are they being bypassed by the new administration.

What can judges do? He is above the law. If he defies judges, there is no consequence. As long as he is in office, he has no consequences. This is why "no one is above the law" was such an important understanding: to insulate the country against presidents like this.
SCOTUS has made it clear. The remedy for a law breaking U.S. President is impeachment in the Congress not judicial process through the courts. Why has Hakeem Jeffries not put forward a bill of impeachment?
Democrat Rep. Al Green is planning on filing impeachment articles against Trump. However, until the Democrats take back the House majority, impeachment will not move forward.
I agree but at least the Democrats will be fighting with the law on their side. The Democrats not doing anything substantive just seems to be saying if you have the majority you can break the law. Is that the message they want to convey?
Would you like the Democrats to break the law? They are working with groups filing court cases where feasible. Ask the GOP Congress members what they are doing to prevent the Executive branch from usurping their authority. We already know the answer. The GOP Congress is in collusion with the WH.
I’m old enough to remember when Republicans were outraged that President Biden issued executive orders that they didn’t like, but they didn’t just sit back and say, “Well, since he’s the President he can do whatever he wants.”
I remember SCOTUS recently declared that a President is immune from prosecution when exercising the 'core powers' of the presidency. Immunity means a person cannot be prosecuted.
If Trump defies the courts, ignores them, it means the US is under a COUP by the Executive branch, meaning America becomes a Nazi Dictatorship led by two rich bloated pigs (Elon and Trump).
If this scares you, you still are a decent human being.
If Trump defies the courts, and ignores them, at that point, we are in a coup by the Executive branch and his conspiracy advisers. He tried a physical one in 2020 and failed. He was impeached for it, and his party betrayed the nation which may bring us to this reality with a Constitutional crisis.
If the US is in a Constitutional crisis, what does that actually mean? I'm Canadian and I'm reading that a lot. I just don't know what the next stage is after that.
At any moment ever. It never was, never will be. But at this moment, they are no longer allies. No longer family. They are our neighbours and rapidly heading towards enemy status.
The nation isn't our ally but it's important that we stay connected with our American friends and colleagues. Friendship is more important than ever for both of us.
Your country elected a criminal in power ; he will defy all laws /all justice /all FBI/all security/all constitution : HES A CRIMINAL IN POWER: remember what you elected !!!

OFFICE.
All he is doing is illegal.
We all know this ends with Trump ordering the military to shoot protesters. Don’t pretend otherwise. The only question is if the military does it.
? What are judges missing here?

wow
Also, they are consolidating power by removing controls on elections.
Time is come for you all to start calling a spade a spade. In failing to do so, you are helping the tyrant.
Good luck out there, folks.
We're fucked
