SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

Liar, liar pants on fire! IMHO Trump has a melanin prejudice disorder. Wes Moore said, ‘I’m a person who takes my integrity very seriously’. Who do you believe?
