The next step for Trump could be appealing the decision to the United States Supreme Court.

Let's go. Let's find out sooner than later if the SCOTUS is legit or if they're going to roll over for Trump. Why waste any more time?

I don't think it matters as they are ignoring court orders anyway.

They mostly are following court orders for the moment. They are deliberately misinterpretating some orders, but they aren't yet 100% ignoring the courts

For instance

The Trump administration restores federal webpages after court order

thank god! the websites!

I was really worried there for a second!

(meanwhile at Guantanamo, sanctuary cities, the southern border, EPA, USDA, TSA, USAID, climate summit, CFPB, and every major research and academic institution...???)

There's more than just that. It was just an example that I had recalled off the top of my head. On many of those important issues, they're at the very minimum worried about said lawsuit enough to change some of their actions

For instance, as of a few hours ago they just moved all recent Immigrants out of Guantanamo. (Though make sure to watch for them not to try and do it again when the public backlash has calmed down)

This is not me trying to claim they are some law-abiding people. This is me saying they still fear the courts to some degree, so we should keep using that as a tool to push back. Lawsuits are still worth pursuing

SCOTUS:

"The Constitution is more of a vibes based document. We don't take the words literally, we feel them out. It is with that in mind that we rule that Trump can issue whatever the fuck EO he wants. Long live the king."

Now let's wait to see how he and his P2025 managers circumvent the ruling.
