Kind of a turning point moment IMO

Does Trump have his final victory over "The rule of law" and bulldoze his way to a grand spectacle execution in a stadium?

Or will this enterprise be mired in procedure and their own incompetence until the whole thing falls apart?

I think my prediction is more towards the latter, but I think both ends of the spectrum are within the realm of possibility

I'm 60/40 thinking Trump is going to win here, because there's no one to actually oppose him. In other cases where he's tied up in court it's because there's political opposition. Who opposes this? A few progressives? It's almost a bipartisan consensus.
