Supreme Court: Potential Savior or Trump Enabler? | JQJO

The US Supreme Court, previously criticized for conservative rulings and ethics scandals, now faces the unexpected role of safeguarding American democracy against Donald Trump's actions. While some hope the court will check Trump's executive orders challenging birthright citizenship, transgender rights, and other issues, others are skeptical, citing the court's conservative majority and past decisions favoring executive power. The court's rulings on several key cases are pending, with potential consequences for various rights and governmental powers. Experts debate whether the court's 'formalist' approach is adequate to counter Trump's actions, highlighting the potential for a constitutional crisis if the court fails to act decisively.
