There is a deep irony at the root of this emerging conflict. No institution played a bigger role in handing Trump the power he is now abusing than the Supreme Court itself. Now, after paving his path back to the White House and dismantling limitations on his power, SCOTUS appears increasingly uncomfortable with how he is using his authority. Its concerns may arise in no small part from the fear that the Trump administration is sapping the judiciary of its strength, defying courts’ orders, and treating their decisions as advisory at best. Some of the conservative justices may be perturbed that the White House is effectively demoting the judiciary from a co-equal branch of government to a bothersome layer of bureaucracy that can be overridden or ignored. If so, the blame for surrendering the court’s legitimate claim to equal authority falls squarely on the court’s own shoulders.
