A very informative piece by two NYU law professors.  Because court orders are usually directed at particular officials within agencies, courts can cause those miscreants some pain, including imposing financial penalties they have to pay in their personal capacity.  At the end of the day, of course, law runs out, and the best protection is that there will be an economic calamity if Trump the Holmesian Bad Man defies the courts.  My guess is he won't cross that red line, for the same reason that his nominees related to financial and business matters were fairly normal Republican choices, rather than batshit crazies like RFK Jr. and Peter Hegseth.  But we'll soon know whether that is too optimistic!
