It'd be really funny if he just kept extending it for the next four years.

Just needs those bribes, I mean, inauguration fund donations to keep coming before each deadline to remind him.

Isn't the judicial branch supposed to be more powerful than the executive? The POTUS shouldn't be able to blatantly ignore the SCOTUS, right?

If course, this being Trump, I fully expect them to let the "Democracy!" mask slip whenever he wishes...

Well, I think the issue is that the Supreme Court likely can't order the cops to do anything because unlike within a county, there's no equivalent of a national sheriff. So the executive branch still has the power and discretion of enforcement.
