Judges can make rulings “blocking” Trump’s actions. But he ignores those rulings and keeps on going.

At some point, push will come to shove; meaning, these judicial rulings will have to be enforced, somehow.

There’s not really a good vehicle for enforcing the law on rogue presidents. Unless someone is willing to physically arrest and detain him, possibly muscling past secret service in order to (attempt to) do so.

If someone will be willing to enforce the law, and can successfully do so, the Constitution may be saved.

If not, we de facto have a king, regardless of de jure court rulings.
