None of Trump's appointees are breaking the laws.

Judges are literally telling them to stop violating the law.

When the goal is to remove the undesirable, you just have to make it look somewhat legit.

Do process?

I'm pretty sure there once was a European country that did this. But that is what The Leader wanted back then, and it is what Leader Trump wants now.

Yep, and the playbook hasn't changed much.
Redefinition of citizenship and who are citizens.
Replacing judges with those who support the party line.

Those lower level judges are consistently being overruled by higher appeals courts and the SCOTUS.

Nuh-uh. Most of these cases are so new that nothing has reached full SCOTUS review, though SCOTUS has allowed some actions to continue (and forbidden others, like eliminating birthright citizenship in certain states) for the time being. And things are only slowly getting to the Appeals stage.

Winston Churchill

Churchill was known for being pretty uninhibited, to the point that he frequently talked to advisors while on the toilet and once had a meeting with FDR in the nude. I would be pretty amused if Trump tried something like that.

I remember several of the lower courts being reversed by appeals and by the SCOTUS and the SCOTUS judges scolding lower courts for attempting to ignore or go around rulings made by the SCOTUS.

I remember several of the lower courts being upheld by appeals and by the SCOTUS.

Ergo, the lower courts are not "consistently being overruled".

Justice Barrett defends Jackson jabs as ‘warranted’ in rare public appearance

Justice Amy Coney Barrett spoke about her recent controversial opinion on universal injunctions, saying her stern words for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in it were appropriate.

Justice Barrett disagrees strongly with universal injunction from lower courts.

Birthright citizenship, for one. Although SCOTUS curtailed its application only to the states that sued, birthright citizenship is still the law of the land there on the merits.

Here's another.

Supreme Court upholds a lower court order to force USAID to pay contractors​

SCOTUS overturned the Appeals court's 'erroneous' ruling and went with the lower court's ruling.

That is only 2 cases out of many which have been decided in favor of Trump's executive actions.

Most of them have not been decided. Although SCOTUS has been issuing some stays (and not in other cases) on the emergency docket as the appeals are worked out, there are not many cases where they have ruled on the merits.

As she should. A small-time lower court should not set a precedent for the entire nation. Such a case should go to higher courts and the Supreme Court if necessary. It is like we have 677 Supreme Courts. It is very confusing and way out of line. I think the SC will continue to slap their hands until it eventually finds one in contempt.
