Well the Supreme Court has been ruling that absolutely no one has claims to damages from actions by the President.

The Supreme Court is telling Trump to ask for forgiveness instead of permission, because these is no one to demant forgiveness.

We live in a new country. One where the Supreme Court is giving their party an upperhand in shaping. Ad Hoc, no one can say Trump is harming them because the Supreme Court believes the President is infallible in that it would actively harm the institution to allow anything to abridge their authority. The idea that in the midst of calamity the President must have the utmost authority or else domestic instigators could thwart the President's ambition to save the country. And if it is a Democratic President then it is the government's job to stop them from acting. The Supreme Court, without saying it, is saying that the Democrats are the enemy of their forming nation and as a result they have no rights in the eye of the Federal Government.
