'They're gonna confine him': Legal expert flags evidence Supreme Court will rein Trump in
The U.S. Supreme Court has in some instances failed to issue negative orders against Donald Trump, but that could happen very soon, a legal expert said on Sunday.
Legal expert Norm Eisen, who worked in the White House as special counsel and special assistant to the president for ethics and government reform, is also known for being a thorn in the president's side.
On Sunday, he appeared on MSNBC, where he highlighted some evidence that the Supreme Court is ready to rein Trump in.

"The Supreme Court is clearly concerned also, if you look at the trajectory of their cases rejecting Donald Trump again and again on issues like immigration," Eisen said. "He said he would be a dictator on day one. The essence of dictatorship is this kind of defying the constitution and laws, so it's not only on the 14th amendment, but across the board."
Eisen went on to describe a recent court victory he had against Trump.
"We were in court with a big coalition on Friday. He's reorganizing the entire federal government unconstitutionally, and that federal court agreed. We won on Friday. We got a [Temporary Restraining Order]," he added. "Trump is running amok. The Supreme Court are not just robots calculating the meaning of the words in the constitution. They're human beings. They're political actors. They see this run amok administration, this unlawful administration."
He concluded, "So that coloration also tends to lead me to believe they're going to confine him."
