I took a prelaw class in college where the instructor posed the question "what would happen if a president just refused a court order? The court doesn't have an army or any way to enforce it." Think about that a lot these days. I liked that way better as a thought experiment than as current events.
My depressing thought for the day: it seems increasingly inevitable that quite soon, Trump decides to simply disregard a court finding that some of his actions are illegal or unconstitutional. Impeachment is attempted & fails thanks to loyal Republicans. At which point there are no good options.
