If we could count on SCOTUS we'd be in a much better position. Well, we wouldn't be here in the first place because Trump would be in jail. Barring that, he wouldn't have immunity. But going forward, if SCOTUS would rule anything like the rest of the courts, Trump would not be able to instigate his coup without an outright military overthrow. I think the military unlikely to comply if the courts are consistent all the way up to the top.
