    "The functional equivalent of a “judicial strike” is a radical idea without precedent,” he wrote.

    “But so is an administration openly contemplating the defiance of court orders. … If court orders can be ignored without meaningful consequence, then courts will be losing cases anyway — and the most impactful ones, where the Constitution’s limits on executive power are at issue.”

    Ah, now you’ve got it, Mr. Coale. Refusing to hear the Executive branch’s lawyers isn’t gonna do much if they ignore your orders anyway. That’s just a fast-track to the courts effectively being meaningless and Trump just dictating what the law is to the Federal Marshalls and local cops. Sure, he’ll lose the FBI, he can afford to lose the FBI. He’ll probably turn loose all the FBI’s tools into the hands of local cops. In fact I’m pretty sure that part was in Project 2025. Giving the local cops massive surveillance powers because they know the 90%+ of local cops are violent pro-MAGA thugs who would gladly murder half of the communities they work in (that they conveniently don’t live in).
