alina habba says this. >> the president is used to being under siege with lawfare and radical left judges. this lawfare is part of the reason i believe we won. i truly do. i think it is desperate. i think it is not in the interests of the american people. we will not be defying orders. we'll fight them in court. >> shannon: the supreme court could rule any minute on this first case against the president to his second term. dillinger sued the trump administration after being fired this month. waiting to find out if the supreme court will get involved while it is playing out getting the job back or no. it is just the latest twist, bill. >> we saw in the last few years the left was able to find courts and judges that were willing to do their bidding if you will in the first round of lawfare and so this is simply a continuation. they will try the same playbook to see if it works now that the president is back in office. but look, when he wants to eliminate d.e.i. and these other programs of that nature, what he is trying to do is trying to move back to a place of merit-based success versus pe
