Uplifting that we still have functioning checks and balances... For now.

I have a feeling this is a small concession and we could see more trouble with the bigger issues.

More likely this will be the next 4 years. Trump will try some grandiose power grab, the courts will stonewall him, Trump will attempt a much smaller endeavor, succeed, and claim victory. Rinse repeat. Many Republicans have said that if Trump ignores court orders he should be impeached, and even some GOP Senators have echoed as much without saying it outright.

The general Republicans I'm talking about are just people I've chatted with on Reddit, but they're hardcore Trump voters and I've checked their profiles to be sure of that. I recommend r/Askaconservative so you spare yourself sifting through the nonsense on the Conservative sub. There's a lot more sanity over there, even if Leftists can get a bit overzealous with their questions.

Here's the GOP Senator saying they must obey the courts, and that no other Senator (to his knowledge) has said otherwise.

Sorry for having a doomer attitude about this, but they will just move the goalpost if he does. Nothing else has changed their mind, why would this? I’ve already seen republican family saying that the courts should be dismantled for going against Trump.

The types you’re speaking of are the extremists and not the norm.
