The Republican Party is America’s Taliban. They strike out at every little thing that offends their ignorance.

Wow, that's an excellent statement. Never thought of it like that, but it fits.

Here's some ideas on how to enforce court orders:

And here's a second idea:

For slightly different circumstances, another alternative is an American March of 1000 Robes. Poland used it when their separation of powers was at risk. The judges marched purely non-partisanly, only for the rule of law. Polish judges were backed up by judges from all over Europe.

For America, recruit 20 judges from every state, including Trump appointees. Fly them to Washington. Have them march in their robes backed up by lawyers and citizens for numbers. Judges have the organization necessary, the temperament to be absolutely peaceful, and the travel money. Good fricking luck to anyone who wants to turn footage of a judge getting beaten up into an argument that anti-Trumpists are the lawless ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osSgIUeyGIc

I love it, but I think you make the assumption that there are judges who disagree with Trump's power grab. His supreme court judges were picked for the purpose of upholding exclusive power of the presidency. This coup is a long time in the making and Trump is just a useful idiot.

Maybe. But judges also don’t want to be consigned to irrelevance.
