Who’s defying court orders again?

In case you’ve missed the 1 million New York Times headlines announcing a “constitutional crisis,” here are a few typically calm, laid-back notices from that straightdown- the-middle newspaper: Trump Dares the Courts to Stop Him With Deportations, Trump Steps Closer to Showdown With Judicial Branch The president is challenging the constitutional order The Radical Legal Theories That Could Fuel a Constitutional Crisis The easily excitable Harvard University political scientist Steven Levitsky told the Times that Trump’s “intensifying conflict with the federal courts is unusually aggressive,” adding that the administration’s “increasingly open, authoritarian behavior is unlike almost anything I’ve seen.” (As the co-author of “How Democracies Die” and “Competitive Authoritarianism,” we know he’s not given to overreaction.)
