I've been waiting for a high visibility instance of Trump basically telling the courts to kiss his ass because anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew it was coming. That's why there is actually nothing "astonishing" about it. "Right on schedule" would be a better description of this test point for the burgeoning autocracy.

I hope I am wrong but I expect the judge to fail and follow through with any threat.
