this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.
SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

Corrupt appointment and if he's still in office on 20 Jan 29 he needs to be unceremoniously dismissed with the reason made explicit
Adm. Daryl Caudle was sworn in Monday as chief of naval operations, the Navy’s highest-ranking officer, amid a growing number of military leaders ousted by the Trump administration, including his predecessor.
How'd he get the nod? Unlike the Army, where apparently there's quite a few Trump supports in storage (read in the NG), Caudle's active Navy. He gives an ominous speech well, I guess.
