They should be terrified of what Trump would do to them with this power, though. History has shown time and time again that, just because Trump likes you today, that doesn’t mean he won’t fire you tomorrow. Or in this case, should I say “fire” you tomorrow.
Leopards won’t eat their faces. Or if it seems like they will, they’ll just do what he wants. They may have tried to maintain appearances of doing law, just conservatively, during his presidency, but since then they’ve abandoned it and are just a kangaroo court.
