He can just sign an executive order that says "laws are really just suggestions".

MAGA would cheer.

Also, what backup is there in the courts? He goes, I am above the law you asssholes, make all the rulings you want, I WILL ignore them BECAUSE I am totally immune now.

Since the Supreme Court granted him immunity, he evidently figures that was a stay out of jail free card and a free pass to do whatever he feels like.

While the courts can't do much to the President, they could find lesser officials obeying his illegal directives in civil contempt and fine or even imprison them until they agree to comply with the Court's order.

Wow.
Has that ever happened before to a president?
Answer: Yes.
Too many times to count.

He can't do this alone. Go after Trump's facilitators -- until they stop facilitating. Seems a plausible strategy.

Like the Dems haven't been "facilitated" for the past 20 years.
