The Trump Presidency has become a textbook lesson in disruption of the norms that had been prevailing until his term began, norms that he, as well as several tens of millions of US citizens, believed had long past their expiry date. A flurry of Executive Orders were issued immediately after he became President, most of which clearly prepared well in advance of his swearing in on January 20. Ultimately, it will be the US Supreme Court that decides whether the impugned orders are valid or not, and it may be mentioned that the Chief Justice has often been on the losing side in a Court where conservative Justices outnumber liberal Justices.
