I'd love to see the relevant agencies simply ignore his unlawful order. Just let him sit there and stomp around like a toddler demanding but with nobody listening rather than treat it as valid with a lawsuit response.

And I'd like to be the King of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat.

You have waaaaay more confidence in these agencies than I do.

The reality is, with enough pressure even 'independent' heads of agencies can be replaced. Nobody wants to be in the firing line and the focus of Trump (and his followers) rage.

Well I only said like to, not expect to.

I would expect someone to file a suit to block it, but just ignoring him I suspect would cause him to absolutely lose his shit.
