As courts prepare to challenge Trump's broad claims of presidential authority, his supporters are railing against perceived judicial overreach — and insist “the president’s orders are well within the powers outlined in the Constitution’s second section on the executive branch."

“It is the judicial pushback, they say, that is overstepping the constitutional boundaries laid out in the third section on the judiciary,” the New York Times reports.

“President Trump is not stealing other branches’ powers,” conservative activist Mike Davis told the Times. “He is exercising his Article II powers under the Constitution. And judges who say he can’t? They’re legally wrong. The Supreme Court is going to side with Trump.”

University of North Carolina School of Law in Chapel Hill constitutional law professor Michael J. Gerhardt said if Trump does defy a court order, “the consequences would likely fall on lower-level officials, not the president himself,” Business Insider reports.

"At the very least, you would have a possible contempt citation directed at a particular official who has refused to comply with a court order," Gerhardt said, "If they indicate they are defying it because of his order, then the court is going to include the president in the citation of contempt.”
