Its a “Litigation War” going on in America on many levels……apparently.
Another Guinness Book of World Records moment🤷‍♀️

Musk and Trump think they are "kicking ass and taking names" (a military expression though neither served.)

It's American democracy that's getting it's ass kicked.
And Musk is getting names and info for AI.

It's only consequential if the judges force action on them.

Not if Trump goes on completely disobeying judges orders.

I’m really confused, are there ever any real world consequences to those rulings?

reichlinmelnick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, absolutely.

Examples? Not being rude, genuinely confused.

The Trump administration lost in court over and over during its first term, and despite some intransigence and slow-walking, generally followed the court orders.

But what about the current round? Is there an example of policy enacted, real world consequences, court overrules, and then real world consequences reversed?
Maybe it just takes longer?
