'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court
The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.
And there it is... What he really wanted
Can't the Supreme court strike this down?
Can SCOTUS strike down a bill that says their rulings don't have to be followed?
This is what passes as an interesting Paradox to MAGA Nazis.
YUP. Guaranteed they will. They've warned these assclowns to stop fucking with the judiciary, and they're now signalling they'll be proactively ruling on things like this.
The issue is more: will it matter at all?
Genuinely serious. Jackson is Trump's favorite President for a reason: he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him, neither Congress nor the SCOTUS can actually do anything about a President acting in contravention of a court order. If the SCOTUS says "this bill is unconstitutional", will it stop anyone from actually acting like it's in force?
The same court has already given absolute power to the president, so the minutia doesn't really matter.
Haha. Can they? Who knows. Will they? Probably not.
I don’t know why people think rules still apply. They might say something but they came out 9-0 against him and he still claims a unanimous victory and the courts, media and American public all just shrug.
Would a one dollar bond work to circumvent this?
"Gotcha, didn't see that in comei... Oh, you did? "
"Fake news!"
