Courtroom deliberations and legal decisions aren't what matter anymore. They only matter when they are backed up by a functioning system that has power and will to enforce the law. Trump doesn't respect the law or have the will to follow it. Since Trump came into office the law has been disregarded, because he only respects power. Who is going to enforce the law with Trump? What system is functioning to do so and has the power to back it up right now? The MAGA crowd, many of whom are in the police, the military, militias, media, congress, the Senate and other places to exert power are feeling like they have all the momentum on their side to follow Trump now, regardless of what the law is. The system that should prevent this has lost battles for three years in the fight to show it can exert power over Trump to maintain law, and that system is weak now. It's too late to count on the law. It is the time to hope for moral courage of people who actually can exert power and that there are enough of these people in key positions to take back control. None of the people with moral courage to push back have yet shown they have the power needed to turn things around.
