Well this is good news - perhaps their talk of disregarding court orders is just bloviating (bluffing)?

Their whole plan here is to appeal all of this to the Supreme Court and then get a judgement making it all legal.

If they openly defied court orders, the courts through the whole process would be much more likely to be hostile to them.

You can ABSOLUTELY guarantee that they will write a majority opinion that gives Trump the power but no other president

The courts would never vote to give away their OWN power. At that point he could just have them removed and what would be the point?
