@lauren I wish him luck, because this'll all have to be at the state level and the Supreme Court can't knock down state court TROs and preliminary injunctions. State higher courts have been less accepting of Trump's stuff even in deep-red states.

@tknarr Did you read the article discussing the specific emergency powers he plans to invoke to make this happen?

@lauren And those'll be challenged in state court as well as Federal, since it'll be state agencies implementing them. He'll only have any luck where he has the solid backing of the state government to ignore the state courts, and that isn't as widespread as he thinks. Enforcing his mandates is the question, and he just doesn't have the manpower to do that without the state agencies' cooperation.
