Turns out most judges do have some respect for the law.
Let's hope it actually works.
except for the mcconnel installed partisan judges.
Has someone started a website yet to specifically track all of the judge orders and Trump's (non)response to them? Would be good to put it all in one spot w/primary sources n whatnot
Allow me to introduce you to Lest We Forget The Horrors 2, Electric Boogaloo. McSweeney's, which in any other timeline would be a Satire website, has taken up the mantle of journalistic integrity so thoroughly doffed and trodden upon by the yellow journalists and fascists everywhere else. They created this as a continuation of their original Lest We Forget the Horrors, from the 2016 campaign and first term
Not exactly that, but here is a tracker of Project 2025: https://www.project2025.observer/
But has anything come of it or is he continuing to ignore them without consequences?
Well, see, it's funny, cause the courts don't have any enforcement, and he's got all the guns, so...
Pretty much the latter
Of course they have enforcement! They have the guys who work for Trump. What could possibly go wrong with such a great system?
There's enforcement in theory, but it's all based on hopes and dreams. The DOJ has enforcement mechanisms, but that's controlled by Trump directly. There's also the big play where the military upholds its duty to the constitution, like they're sworn, and not the president. Trump has put in some work to make sure they side with him, but I still suspect it isn't enough if he tries to blatantly subvert the constitution.
He’s ignoring injunctions, not rulings. He can be held in contempt of court, but it’s not a crime…yet.
Remember, Republicans know this to be the case when they're crying about "activist judges". They know full well what the law is.
They're lying freely not because they believe what they're saying, but because they need what they're saying to be true in order to justify what they're planning.
Do they know? Thats a pretty big assumption to make
Remember who overturned Rowe vs Wade?
Maybe...? MAYBE!!! MAY!! BE!!!
All for nought as SCOTUS are Court Jesters at the King's beck and call.
So the supreme Court is fucked, but everyone else seems to be solid? Good to know.
Aside from the couple that have sold children to juvenile detention centers.
Actually, Amy Coney Barrett has joined Kavanaugh in some unexpectedly sound rulings as of late. She also gave Trump a sneering scowl as he walked past her at the SotU. I’m not convinced they’re in his pocket just yet.
Terrifying when democracy itself hinges on a handful of Republicans having a spine and choosing to not do the worst thing possible. I guess we'll find out...
I don’t know, it appears more like more that there’s a 6-3 split, they’re picking cases to bluewash (centrist-wash maybe) their record one justice at a time.
Roberts wants to keep the court looking as legitimate as possible, so each Justice gets to pick a case that is easily 6-3, dissent and make it a 5-4 decision so it still goes through, and look like they have a brain, and not just Leonard Leo’s hand up their ass.
While I get the question is rhetorical, it’s still irritating AF that it’s even put that way because any sane person knows it isn’t the judges.
It matters to the people who have the power to remove them.
