Sure. What?
I'd like to know what the courts can do.
Seriously.
Or even Congress.
The whole system is predicated on the idea that the executive follows the rule of law, as they are entrusted by us to execute the law.
If the executive fails to do their job, it's on Congress to impeach.
Congress should work in good faith too...but if they are complicit with the executive?
Judicials job isn't to write law or police the president. Judicials job is to make sure that the laws are, themselves, legal, and to extract the nuance out of the law and apply it to the context of the situation.
The judicial has no teeth. Nor are they supposed to. Congress makes the laws, executive enforces, and judicial essentially mediates. That's it.
Turns out the entire system goes tits up if one branch decides "I don't wanna" and the ones that are supposed to give him the boot are instead giving him applause.
They order those in charge to bring the detainees back immediately, and if they don’t do it, the judges dispatch the US Marshalls to arrest them.
US Marshal Office is part of DoJ that runs under executive.
They gonna arrest their bosses boss? Or even defy orders from their own chain-of-command? How do you think that will turn out?
If the U.S. Marshals won't do it, then deputize someone who will.
Do you know what a deputy is?
Deputies cannot have any more authority than their deputor...depututor ...deputizer....you know what I'm trying to say.
Sherrifs and bailiffs authority outside the courtroom is essentially no more than serving papers, which will immediately be tossed.
That’s the question. That’s when we find out whether a constitutional crisis is the order of the day.
to arrest them
to arrest whom?
We are getting close to the tipping point people....
we got even closer
Judges "handling" trump in a nutshell. Just like parents who don't follow through with "I'm gonna count to 3! 1....2....2 and a half...." etc. If you don't follow through with disciplining misbehaving children, the children don't learn anything.
Can we just get it over with, please?
This whole year so far has been like watching a trainwreck. From the quiet-car. Like oh there's this cool disaster going on up ahead...it's definitely going to hurt everyone around me directly, but damn if it isn't mesmerizing in the meantime. And meanwhile the guy on my left is taking a nap and the girl on the right is reading a true crime novel about horny vampires (the author may have taken some creative liberties).
Judicial response to administrative defiance 'woefully insufficient', public says.
Seems like the way to defeat the justice system is to stick your fingers into your ears and repeat yadayadayada....
Oh, and be the POTUS and be surrounded by cowards.
