The current Supreme Court is now useful to the formation of the Trump autocracy. The right wing justices think they are part of the team and issue rulings favoring the unlawful executive orders of Trump. But there will come a time when they all must realize that the Supreme Court will be made irrelevant and just a rubber stamp giving a thin veneer of lawfulness and legitimacy for the autocratic regime they supported. So when Trump threatens the very existence of the Supreme Court, will they cut their own throats by concurring with an EO which cuts off its staffing and funding?
