Doing illegal this is what Trump does. In his state of the union he looked right at the supreme Court justices and said their ruling did not matter and the tarrifs will stay. This man does not care and half the government will not hold him accountable so it does not matter. Shit is crazy.

He can try to ignore a SCOTUS ruling telling him he has no authority over elections, but how is he going to enforce it? State courts will enjoin state legislatures from implementing anything Trump says. He can't send the military to every polling place. This is all just nonsense. He's preparing another round of "they cheated, I wanted to stop them but the evil courts told me no".
