5. Most of what we are seeing now is reversing injunctive relief

So two answers for that: (1) We aren't likely to do anything (or at least certainly not at the rate Trump is) that calls for injunctive relief and (2) to the extent we do - yes - if a Democratic president appealed for relief from injunctive relief it would likely be granted.

The presumption is against injunctive relief, so it is uncommon in generally - and has been granted far more here than I've ever seen before. So - predictably - the Supreme Court is reversing it.

The courts aren't well suited to deal with a president run amok. That's more the job of Congress - which has abdicated its responsibilities and in some instances actively handed over its reins to Trump.
