I lean in this direction myself. It would be a constitutional crisis if Trump tries to ignore a court order. But there seems no chance that the bureaucracy would comply--unlike in Andrew Jackson's days, when the civil service were political appointees.

I am going to put myself on a big limb here, but there is no chance of the White House successfully refusing to comply with a final order of a court enjoining a DOGE action. People truly haven't considered all the various weapons judges AND the state have to force compliance.
