Absolutely. Our Supreme Court's current 6-3 conservative majority (thanks to
three Trump appointments) makes it highly unlikely to act as a major check on
the his power. He is so over the top, though, they have been doing so to some
extent.

This isn't limited to just SCOTUS. The current conservative twisted legal
landscape is from a deliberate, long-term strategy led by Mitch McConnell. As
Senate Majority Leader, he systematically blocked President Obama's lower
court nominees (creating over 100 vacancies) and bent the rules to keep seat
open. Once President Trump took office, McConnell fast-tracked the
confirmation of three SCOTUS Justices and over 200 young, conservative federal
judges to lower courts. This has pushed a right wing and often extremist
federal judiciary that will be around for decades. Our courts are not very
much activists against equal rights.
