Michael, here is something I found that supports your hypothesis:
TC in LA posted this in comments on Politicus ’ article citing Chris Murphy’s description of what happened yesterday.
“Call the senile old traitor "Krasnov" - that's the code name his Russian handlers gave him in 1980 when they turned him into the Russian asset he's been ever since. Remind everyone all the time that he's nothing but a Russian traitor.
“As a fellow historian friend of mine said, "All the international good will that we've banked since 1918 - pissed away in a month!"
Over 80 years (since 1945) we managed good will. It didn’t take a month; 50 minutes did it.” 😢
It's the natural progression of this slide. The saddest part is that it's not like the GOP is working so hard to make things happen, bi-partisanship is a shameful thing in the MAGA cult. It's 'our way or no way' and the last congress didn't do jack. So, get elected, break everything until nothing happens, point at the inactivity and blame everyone for what you did and now...let an all-powerful executive 'fix' it. It's more extreme than I ever thought possible but it could be happening in the coming weeks. Yikes.
I don't see this ending well at all. I read a lot all day from sources I believe to be solid. When you talk about them ignoring the judges, I see that happening already. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/judge-says-trump-hasnt-fully-followed-his-order-to-unfreeze-federal-spending So here we are, and I think it will continue, and as far as scotus goes, they will bend a knee, they have nothing to lose by falling in line and if they don't, like you say, they will be removed and hey...why bother replacing them, he is going for full control, no reason to bother with a scothus. You know what i think, I believe all trump really wanted was to stay out of jail and feed his weak ego, that is done, the rest he sold off to musk and what does he want...he is banking on global power control - I hope I am wrong. Really I do.
I here you. I've had some thoughtful pushback on "the courts holding" and did an update to the post. Hope I'm wrong too. Frightening doesn't do this justice. Thanks for you comment.

Yes, absolutely. Thats the lie built right into it. The basic legal garbage we are getting from this corrupted court.
