SCOTUS couldn’t even unanimously say the Constitution says what it says. They have generally consistently granted him more and more unchecked power and signaled a willingness to do even more. The setbacks to date have mostly been temporary at the lower levels. His track record of ultimate victories far outweighs his losses.
