Trump has power, but it’s granted to him by authority of Congress. He has legal immunity for official acts as president, by authority of the supreme Court.
The theory of the balance of power means that Congress can strip him of that authority, and the supreme Court can determine if an act is official or not or if he actually has immunity or not.
The way this works is based on money and sanctions (imprisonment, revocation of clearances, etc).
The court can deputize anyone. Ultimately, what that means, is that as long as the court wishes to retain its power, it needs to enforce decisions.
If the Supreme Court, namely Roberts, actually has his own interests in mind, the court can act accordingly. Otherwise, it’s just theater.
We will now find out if the court still wishes to maintain its power, or if it has none at all.
You know, this is interesting.
