David Gergen : The Trump administration has exceeded its constitutionally authorized powers and challenged the authority of the judiciary.

He says the federalist-majority Roberts court gave Trump immunity from criminal prosecution and invited him to do his worst.

Gergen says he wonders if the court will use one of the many pending cases to delimit its immunity ruling, or will appease Trump to avoid a clash, thereby threatening separation of powers and its own authority.

Musk and Vance , who have no criminal immunity (yet), will eventually risk criminal contempt in their fight to end medical research, put families on the streets and deny food to the hungry. Many federal judges who meant their oaths to the Constitution understand that the Roberts Court obeyed Trump in advance, a grievous error. These lower court judges, hailing from both parties, will rein Trump in until the high court acts again. Until then, expect Trump to continue to at least pretend to follow the law..
