[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to SCOTUS. Trump personally asked all his appointees to protect him, in whatever twisted innuendo he came up with. Trump will cause a constitutional crisis so long as he is alive. [/quote]

I am not so sure SCOTUS will bend to Trump on this.  The justices are secure from retaliation from Trump, the people they really listen to is FedSoc.  However convenient it may have been in the past for FedSoc to align with Trump, they may have enough concerns about how the precedent Trump would have set here could be used against their interests later than they don’t pressure the justices to go Trump’s way on this.

I agree.  Both the 11th Circuit and especially the GOP SCOTUS justices have different incentives than Cannon (and let's be clear, this is all about the personal interests of these Trump judges- they don't care one bit about the law).  Cannon is running a pure careerist move.  For her, if TFG or another MAGA is elected again, she will be rewarded for her loyalty with a promotion.  If not, then she loses nothing and keeps her lifetime appointment.  That incentive is much lower for a circuit judge and basically non-existent for a justice.  Those folks are looking at the longer term interests of the conservative movement, and undermining the national security state by taking a wrecking ball to decades-long precedent about classified information and executive privilege is not good for that.

And let's all remember, whatever is good for the goose, is good for the gander. Her ruling can work both ways.  Is that what the GOP are going to back?  Are we Hungary?[/quote]

How many Democrats Presidents you think would what Trump did? GOP is betting that there is none![/quote]
