    Before you put any faith in our judicial system to do the right thing, remember that Trump can and will immediately appeal any ruling.

    • To the Supreme Court.
    • Who already ruled Trump is all but immune from prosecution.
    • Who also already ruled that official actions taken by Trump cannot be questioned, much less investigated.
    • Who also already ruled that official acts are what Trump says they are, unless they say otherwise.
    • Who also have already ruled that punishments couldn’t be applied anyway because they would interfere with the execution of his official duties.
    • Who also have already signaled that they are willing to sign onto the Unitary Executive Theory, essentially giving Trump whatever immunity that the original order didn’t grant.

    I’ll let you take all the time you need figuring out how well that’s gonna turn out. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
