10 years ago, I would have argued the same about the gov't just arbitrarily expanding asset seizure laws, but here we are.

If they made it law (which strictly speaking requires parliament, not the government), the courts _would_ uphold it.

Unless you get an extreme president who stacks the courts with extreme judges...

So I would agree except judges are even elected in some places in the south. The judiciary is not always insular.
