    This will probably create a Constitutional crisis

    Pretty certain a judge doing something the constitution allows won’t create a constitutional crisis. We’re already in the middle of one. People are either propagandized enough they don’t believe it, or aren’t in a position to do much about it.

      Yeah … people say ‘would create a constitutional crisis’ like we don’t already have an executive branch that routinely ignores the checks and balances put upon it by the other two branches.

      Yes, I agree to an extent. Though, there is a difference between slow walking, small defiance, outright defiance of judicial orders and a full on sizing of power by the executive branch. If a judge uses old laws and does something like issue warrants and arrests executive branch officers or officials, my guess is that the Trump response is to outright seize the judiciary and arrest them. The Supreme Court is already in their pocket, so the crisis I am talking about is essentially a military type coup, ending America as we know it. This would the likely cause a civil war. The underlying problem is that many of the people behind this think that this is okay and are waiting for it. They think they can win.
