If Trump defies 1 in 3 of the court orders against him, that still means judges successfully stopped him 2 times out of 3. I'm not interested in a discussion where we equivocate between what's true today and worst case scenarios that could become true in the future, sorry.

Yes, this particular court case could end up completely against Trump, that would be better than zero progress when it comes to making energy more affordable.

>raises the possibility that the order halting construction will ultimately be held to be arbitrary and capricious.

But guys like Trump aren't arbitrary or capricious.

There's a pretty good consensus that he would have to be a lot more sensible by nature to reach that level of sophistication.
