As President Donald Trump continues to assert expansive executive authority, the U.S. Supreme Court appears to be navigating a delicate balance between supporting and checking his power. Analysts note that the Court is currently avoiding direct confrontation with the White House while exercising its right of judicial review. Chief Justice John Roberts's perspective suggests that the executive branch may prevail in disputes over authority. Columnists have commented on the implications of Trump's approach, indicating that he may be willing to challenge the Supreme Court, particularly in cases like Abrego Garcia, which could set a significant precedent for his presidency. The conservative majority in the Court is also being scrutinized for how it may respond to Trump's regulatory changes and whether it will yield to his extraordinary exertions of power.

Many people are, in my view naïvely, claiming that Trump would not choose to take on the Supreme Court in the Abrego Garcia case because it’s a loser for him. I think he may see this as a chance to establish possibly the most important principle of his entire presidency. 1/
