He can't follow a similar route unless he does what Marcos did, which is to dissolve the judiciary.

News flash. You don't need to dissolve the judiciary. You just need to make them compliant to the autocrat. And it doesn't matter if the front line judges stick with the long established precedents. The USSC can break the precedent. My feeling is that Trump is very close to a compliant USSC. One more appointment is likely to do the trick. Right now, both Roberts and Coney Barrett seem to be willing to stand up to Trump from time to time. Replacing either of them might be good enough. Replacing any of the remaining more liberal justices would almost certainly do the trick.
