Yep. He could send SCOTUS and Trump to Gitmo or seal team 6 them. Some might call that shortsighted, but he could do it - the fallout and precedent would just be... complicated
Either the administration does not believe their own rhetoric about the end of democracy, or they're perfectly fine with allowing it to happen. Those are the only two explanations for all this bleating about project 2025 with absolutely zero action to prevent it.
Well, there is some (very liberal) action being taken to prevent it. Basically, there is a large congressional task force trying to figure out how to prevent Project 2025 from being implemented and also another focused on trying to prevent/challenge the sweeping presidential immunity granted by the supreme court 2 weeks ago. They've proposed a constitutional amendment to specifically state that the president does not have criminal immunity and have plans to prevent actions being taken/generally be obstructionist.
Now, the obvious problems are 1) you have to keep "stopping project 2025" every 4 years, and as soon as a Republican gets into office - boom, it's done. 2) constitutional amendments require 2/3 majority votes in the House and Senate to pass - and Dems will never have a 2/3 majority, and the vote will be on party lines. 3) as soon as it is implemented, the changes will all be made legal - the fascists will shape the gov't around them as soon as they gain power, that's the whole point of what project 2025 is.
