3. The TSF administration makes dishonest and disingenuous representation to the Court

In the birthright citizenship case, they are arguing lower court rulings shouldn't be binding on the entire nation. In the deportation case, they are arguing SCOTUS should have waited until lower courts weigh in.

2. What I don't understand is why he's holding back on the lower court decisions.

It seems to me that if he were to defy a court order, it would be the district court or the circuit court. Why wait to defy until the USSC? Unless he wants to look bad ass or something.

4. Trump considers the lower courts beneath him and worthless.

He assumes the SC will side with him.
Or he can thumb his nose at a proper adversary.
And dare the SC to do anything about him being defiant.

6. Yes. So does Trump comply or thumb his nose at the SC ???

And what can the SC do about it if Trump defies them?

Also Trump could pretend to comply but do things in secret or find a loop hole.

We found out it was only held together with spit and a prayer.
And could be destroyed in a couple of months.

13. I don't know, but a 6 to 2 ruling should mean something to any one left in the White House who is still compos mentis.
