They will contort themselves into human pretzels in order to support his despicable ass. From there he and Barr et al - all of the rethugs in Washington can go to town with anything and everything they've all been dreaming of since before the Gilded Age. Unfortunately, I don't believe that there is one rethuglican sitting on that court principled enough decide against him.

I'd like to believe - indeed, fervently wish it to be so - that the rethugs in Washington might see this as an opportunity to shed themselves of this walking, talking disaster, and might quietly decide to begin talking quietly amongst themselves and hinting at some of the rethugs on the Court that they'd be basically down with the Court ruling against tRump. I'd like to believe that this could happen, but I really don't.
