Maybe if he keeps threatening the SC, they might fucking wake up and see that he represents an existential threat to the judiciary as well as the legislative branch.
And that the SC might be reduced to a rubber stamp or black robe cover for the autocratic abuses to the republic itself.

That's basically what I ment. . .that if the Donald keeps poking his ire at the SC, they'll wake up, slap him silly with one of their gavels and get back to doing their job

We'll see when they rule on whether he can fire the Fed Chair or members of the Fed Board.

Tjhey may still hand him those as a consolation prize...although again, they have to be very careful of the precedent it would set and the immediate damge to the US currency and debt.

I’m guessing the SC may just run out the clock on that one.

It will be interesting to see. The buzz seems to be that they will rule against him because their Owners are afraid of the instability it would otherwise cause.

I think you’re being too kind, they have investments too so count them among those afraid of instability. Heaven forbid they should rely on Social Security and we already know how important money and the finer things in life appeal to Justice Thomas.

Trump is in business with Steve Witkoff and Binance for its crypto ventures. In March, 2025 Trump issued a pardon for Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance after Zhao made substantial donations and quietly sponsored the Trump family's crypto on the Binance platform. Trump's pardon also forgave $4.3 billion in fines that the government had levied against Binance and Zhao.

At the same time, the government dropped other cases against Binance for money-laundering and illegal deals with Russia and Iran.

Blumenthal Opens Inquiry After New Reporting Reveals Binance Allowed $1.7 Billion in Money Laundering to Iran Proxies & Russia's Shadow Fleet
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ranking Member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), today wrote to Richard Teng, chief executive officer of Binance, raising concerns about recent reporting that the company appears to have helped prop up Iranian-linked terrorist organizations and illicit Russian oil sales. As part of a preliminary inquiry into the illicit use of cryptocurrencies by sanction entities, Blumenthal is seeking information and records from Binance, including details on why the exchange chose to suspend, and in some cases, terminate compliance personnel who discovered illicit Iranian and Russian use of the platform.

“According to stunning reports from the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Fortune, late last year, Binance compliance staff found that two Binance partners, Hexa Whale and Blessed Trust, acted as intermediaries for laundering money and enabling trade with Iranian government entities,” Blumenthal wrote in a letter to Teng. “According to documents obtained by the Times and the Journal, Binance was even warned that Hexa Whale was financing terrorist organizations such as the Yemeni Houthis, and internal investigators found cryptocurrency transfers to wallets associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and payments to crew members of Russia’s sanctions-evading shadow fleet of oil tankers.”
