Court hearing goes 'exceptionally badly' for Trump DOJ as judge loses patience: reporter
... or else what, exactly? There seems to be a whole lot of sternly worded judicial opinions, but can they actually do anything to enforce said decisions??
Anyone involved with the legal response or not releasing these funds can be arrested and held in contempt of court. This would obviously apply to Trump lackeys, and not himself. Do this a couple dozen times, and his entire cabinet has nobody to enforce their bullshit.
I'll believe it when one of them is in jail. More likely Trump would order US Marshalls not to arrest anyone working for the white house, and fire anyone that tried.
That sounds like a great way to go, but if the past four years have taught me anything it's that I shouldn't expect much of anything in the way of lasting consequences or impediments for Republicans from our courts.
I'll get excited when there are some arrests.
By who?
How the right will interpret this;
Arrested by whom? Isn't it the executive branch that controls the enforcement of laws and judicial decisions?
Serious question. What power does the judiciary have to enforce their rulings.
Or else he will be asked again with a slightly more impatient tone.
Start holding people in contempt of court I suppose. Not Trump but some of his lackeys. The real fireworks will be when Trump tells the U.S. Marshals to not enforce the order.
Why would he need to do this? He’d just pardon them at that point and there’s literally no repercussions for him or anyone associated besides the almost impossibility of him being impeached. You can thank the Supreme Court for that.
Yeeep.
For anyone wondering how this all works, this article lays it out: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/02/trump-news-are-we-in-dictatorship-yet.html
Time to bring back the medieval Writ of Outlawry. Literally make them outside the protection of the law. The lawless do not deserve the protection of the law.
Right, why the fuck do laws matter anymore? I won't be bound by them if a rapist felon traitor nazi won't be.
It’s time for Judge Dredd then.
Dunno, haven’t seen the movie.
The Judges of Dredd's universe were judge, jury, and executioner. We may need them to have that power to combat the current regime, but once they have that there's no going back.
You'd be smart not to piss off the government's HOA. Those fines increase each day until morale is improved.
