Courts restrained Trump in first term. Will they 'check' his power again?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Republican control of Congress would give Trump significant leeway to advance his priorities and undertake a sweeping overhaul of American government and society.
48% : "We will use all the tools at our disposal -- including aggressive litigation -- to ensure that key consumer and other regulatory protections remain intact," said Robert Weissman and Lisa Gilbert, co-presidents of Public Citizen, a progressive advocacy group that has sued Trump in the past.
45% : A six-justice conservative majority on the Supreme Court will potentially provide legal cover, and its decision in June to enshrine presumptive immunity for official presidential acts could well embolden Trump in ways he hadn't been before.
40% : "The expected onslaught of litigation will collide with a federal judicial system packed full of judges that Trump appointed -- more than 200 nominees in four years surpassing the total elevated by then-President Barack Obama in eight years.
37% : Trump appointed three justices to the Supreme Court bench -- justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett -- and may get a historic opportunity to nominate even more should a current justice retire or die.
36% : Trump has now transformed the Supreme Court, and this court is not one that is likely to act as a comparable check.
35% : "I don't think people paid enough attention to the fact that Trump heeded the Court and agreed to rewrite the 'Muslim ban' three times so that it would pass constitutional muster," said Sarah Isgur, a former Trump Justice Department official and an ABC News legal contributor.
34% : Two years later, the court said Trump had to turn over his taxes to a House committee.
29% : The man in charge of enforcing laws can now just break them," Sotomayor claimed in her dramatic dissent in the case Trump v. U.S. in July.
29% : The Supreme Court notably struck down Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program; blocked the White House effort to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census; and invalided the initial Trump travel ban targeting predominantly Muslim countries.
18% : In 2020, Trump was forced to comply with a grand jury subpoena for his financial records.
