NYT’s Schwartz: Would Trump Obey Judicial Order Received from Chief Justice Roberts Calling One of His Actions ‘Unconstitutional’?

KAY So Mattathias is ░░░░░░░░ assumption that Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ deliberately setting up some ░░░░░░░░ of situation where one ░░░░░░░░ these cases ends up ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court and ░░░░░░░░ is counting on the ░░░░░░░░ that he has a ░░░░░░░░ that is friendly to ░░░░░░░░ and he would win ░░░░░░░░ that court or is ░░░░░░░░ then a counter argument ░░░░░░░░ actually the court is ░░░░░░░░ to look at the ░░░░░░░░ number of things that ░░░░░░░░ Trump is trying to ░░░░░░░░ and say well actually ░░░░░░░░ he s trying to ░░░░░░░░ so many it s ░░░░░░░░ that what he s ░░░░░░░░ to do is expand ░░░░░░░░ executive s power rather ░░░░░░░░ try and get each ░░░░░░░░ of these individual cases ░░░░░░░░ So how do we ░░░░░░░░ a sense of how ░░░░░░░░ court would respond I ░░░░░░░░ SCHWARTZ It s a ░░░░░░░░ question I can t ░░░░░░░░ what the Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ going to do I ░░░░░░░░ t speak to President ░░░░░░░░ s intent I will ░░░░░░░░ that we saw with ░░░░░░░░ v U S A ░░░░░░░░ the court does show ░░░░░░░░ lot of deference to ░░░░░░░░ power this court in ░░░░░░░░ I think if I ░░░░░░░░ to guess it s ░░░░░░░░ total guess President Trump ░░░░░░░░ probably get this court ░░░░░░░░ overturn some big precedents ░░░░░░░░ saw their willingness to ░░░░░░░░ this with Dobbs but ░░░░░░░░ would not get everything ░░░░░░░░ wanted And I think ░░░░░░░░ s a bigger question ░░░░░░░░ If he received a ░░░░░░░░ order from Chief Justice ░░░░░░░░ Roberts calling one of ░░░░░░░░ White House s actions ░░░░░░░░ would he obey that ░░░░░░░░ Because when I read ░░░░░░░░ D Vance s tweet ░░░░░░░░ Vice President Vance s ░░░░░░░░ yesterday saying that only ░░░░░░░░ executive has the authority ░░░░░░░░ the judges aren t ░░░░░░░░ to control the executive ░░░░░░░░ legitimate power that seems ░░░░░░░░ hint at the possibility ░░░░░░░░ he might not And ░░░░░░░░ would be a far ░░░░░░░░ graver and more dangerous ░░░░░░░░ to our constitutional order ░░░░░░░░ simply the Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ some big precedents expanding ░░░░░░░░ power which itself in ░░░░░░░░ times would be a ░░░░░░░░ big deal But there ░░░░░░░░ an even larger you ░░░░░░░░ worry looming on the ░░░░░░░░ and it s in ░░░░░░░░ tweet.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Yeah.”
