In the birthright citizenship case, they are arguing lower court rulings shouldn't be binding on the entire nation. In the deportation case, they are arguing SCOTUS should have waited until lower courts weigh in.

It seems to me that if he were to defy a court order, it would be the district court or the circuit court. Why wait to defy until the USSC? Unless he wants to look bad ass or something.

He assumes the SC will side with him.
Or he can thumb his nose at a proper adversary.
And dare the SC to do anything about him being defiant.

And what can the SC do about it if Trump defies them?

Also Trump could pretend to comply but do things in secret or find a loop hole.

We found out it was only held together with spit and a prayer.
And could be destroyed in a couple of months.

Somebody needs to go after Stephen Miller on this.

to see all of these goons go to jail

Of course not.

but he and Project 2025 goons will be taking some of the rightwing hacks on the Supreme Court to the woodshed
