Federal judge in Boston says Trump Admin. violated his order barring deportations without adequate notice. Here's @ajreeves.bsky.social on how legal limits alone can’t constrain a defiant president like Trump whose "pace & scale of defiance are w/o precedent" theconversation.com/trump-treats...
Trump treats laws as obstacles, not limits − and the only real check on his rule-breaking can come from political pressure
The most meaningful check on presidential power in the Trump era will be political. That’s because courts rely on the broader political system for enforcement.
