Agencies continue to suspend funding, despite multiple court orders blocking the federal freeze. Experts say the Trump administration’s actions set the stage for challenges to Congress’ authority — and the limits of the presidency.
Yeah, we get it. Courts are issuing orders. Trump is ignoring them.
Now tell me what they’re planning on doing about it or shut the fuck up. And if the answer is “Nothing”, then you’ve effectively reduced our entire justice system to nothing more than an advisory panel for the President that can be ignored like any other crony when he doesn’t like their suggestion.
We need an answer to this staredown. One of these judges needs to hold Trump in contempt of court and literally order his arrest. Let the case go up to the Supreme Court and let’s see if they actually are willing to all but cede their own power to Trump by saying he can ignore court rulings with impunity. And if not, let them say how they plan on forcing Trump to abide by their rulings, and if so how. Let’s see if authorities are going to back up the Supreme Court, or if they’re going to back up Trump and essentially hand the entire country over to him by saying they’re refusing to enforce Supreme Court decisions.
And it’s not like it would take long either. Issue an order for his arrest for contempt of court today, and it’ll be in front of the Supreme Court by lunch. And they wouldn’t be able to table it for years either; they’d have no other choice but to weigh in one way or the other. Like that day. They’d have to. Every day they’d waffle on it would be a day that they’d be telling the country that the Supreme Court has no real power.
