They paused the order. They haven't completely sided with him yet.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Same thing they did with Abrego Garcia and with the deportation flights to El Salvador. They're trying to give the appearance of a fair legal system by letting the trials go on while bending over backwards to give the government everything they want and every procedural advantage they can come up with. It seems like by the time we get to the actual trials they're just going to be hollow propaganda events with a predetermined outcome, and afterwards everyone will say "Well, we can't really be living in a dictatorship, there was a trial! I don't agree with the court's decision but I have sworn to uphold blah blah blah"
basically the mitch mcconnel method, he would propose a bill, and block it himself, if it gains too much favorablly from the DEMS.
Corruption is the whole of the law
Hate is the law. Hate under corruption.
"The US separation of powers, a cornerstone of the Constitution, divides governmental authority into three distinct branches – legislative, executive, and judicial – with each branch having specific powers and responsibilities, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful"
If the president is responsible for appointing judges, then the judiciary is not and never was a separate power. While it required a rather unlikely series of deaths and retirements, in close proximity, the judiciary is under trump's control because he has control of the supreme Court having appointed several.
He nominated the judges and the Senate has to approve them. The Senate is supposed to refuse to confirm unsuitable nominees. That is where the system has been falling down for decades now. The Executive branch is not supposed to have a rubber-stamp Senate. The founding fathers didn't imagine that the Senate would be dominated by a massive group of boot-lickers who, rather than serving their constituents, serve only the interests of the President.
Uh huh ...
