On the one hand, these numbers are heartening. It means that the more voters learn about these monstrous policies, the more they oppose them.
On the other hand, it means that 77% of registered Republicans don’t care if DHS/ICE harasses, detains, and possibly even deports US citizens.

The Supreme Court made up the "major questions doctrine," under which the Court gets extra powers when things are a Big Deal and what's a Big Deal is up to the Justices.
Why not make up a new "signature policies" rule where a president can put things beyond the court's reach, like a franchise tag.
