'Will backfire badly': Right-wing legal scholars warn Trump against defying courts

Politico's Ankush Khardori this week spoke with several right-wing legal scholars about the prospects of President Donald Trump defying court orders and he came away with the conclusion that doing so "will backfire badly" on the president and his allies.

While Vice President J.D. Vance and other Trump allies have made noises about defying the courts, Khardori believes that doing so would undermine a decades-long conservative project to remake the judicial branch as a bulwark of right-wing legal thought.
