Donald Trump is threatening to turn the Supreme Court's biggest fear into a reality, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

Trump and his officials have stirred controversy in recent weeks by flirting with the notion that they might defy lawful court orders, especially as it relates to Elon Musk's authority to make changes to the federal government.

In an article entitled, "Trump Will Force the Supreme Court to Face Its Biggest Fear Throughout US history," reporter Greg Stohr details the historical concerns about Presidents potentially ignoring lawful court orders. The "judiciary has worried that a president might simply ignore its decisions," according to Stohr.

Every time I have seen Trump talking about the court actions, he says that his administration will abide by the rulings, but will vigorously appeal.

But I'd be interested to see/hear specific examples of where he said that he has no intention of abiding by a legal ruling.

No one is claiming he said that.

Trump is right in that the federal govt. is way too large and needs to be reduced. But, the way he is trying to do it is all wrong. Especially since he only has 4 years to complete it. It would make more sense if he had at least the Democrats general agreement. Now, what we are going to have is a war! :roll:
