Even Trump-appointed judges are resisting authoritarian ploys -- @JRubinBlogger https://t.co/nSgGNydkxy
“Some of what [Trump] is attempting to do is unlawful, and he exaggerates it to make it sound even scarier than it is, but the likely end result is that he will be checked by the courts," said SLS Professor Michael McConnell for @NewYorker. https://t.co/7h85jqUWXj
Judges Wage War Against Trump https://t.co/OPL7LAd2tO
Judges across the United States are increasingly expressing frustration with former President Donald Trump's administration, with this tension potentially reaching the Supreme Court. Legal experts note that Trump's defiance of court orders is expected to result in a prolonged cat-and-mouse dynamic, where courts may struggle to enforce contempt penalties effectively. Despite attempts by Trump to portray legal actions against him as severe, scholars such as Stanford Law Professor Michael McConnell emphasize that the judiciary is likely to check any unlawful conduct. Notably, resistance to what some characterize as authoritarian tactics is observed even among judges appointed by Trump, indicating a broad judicial commitment to uphold legal norms.
