I can't convince 1poorlady of that. She lived through the Marcos era (Philippines), and so thinks the Felon is going to pursue a similar route (probably not a military coup, but issuing orders to sycophants who will following them regardless of legality).

He can't follow a similar route unless he does what Marcos did, which is to dissolve the judiciary. An independent judiciary makes an end run around the APA near-impossible. Merely having appointed a fair number of federal judges isn't enough; the precedent is pretty unambiguous at this point (the APA has been litigated for decades), and federal judges with lifetime appointments can only bend - not break - those precedents.
