(1,118 posts)Robert' SCOTUS knows what a mess they have created, but now Roberts faces what, to him, is an even greater problem. Trump has already shown that he fully intends to disregard any ruling he doesn't like. There still could be a possibility that if SCOTUS affirmed the lower court, Trump would back off.
But there is, IMHO, a much greater probability that Trump would ignore the SCOTUS, just as he ignores the other courts. I mean, why would he change at this point?
So Roberts has to assume that if they EVER issue ANY ruling Trump doesn't like, it will be met with "The Supreme Court just made a bad ruling. I hereby declare it null and void." Lacking any enforcement power, that would be the end of the SCOTUS forever.
Roberts really has no choice. He cannot allow the SCOTUS to take any case where the SCOTUS would rule against Trump.
We have been in a "Constitutional crisis" at least since 2000. I wonder if any of these weenies that keep saying "Golly, we could maybe possibly some day soon be looking at something that feels a little like a Constitutional crisis" are starting to get it -- 25 YEARS TOO LATE.
