Mark my words: Trump will come after the judiciary next, both via his appointment power and his (claimed) authority to regulate Article I courts, and Congress's ability to regulate Article III courts.
You know they’re not going to comply. OR they’re going to argue the contracts have all been canceled for one reason or another & start the legal BS in an effort to slow bleed the firm. Again, sending the message. It’s clear they really don’t care.
…perhaps for good reason. But it seems more & more like better question(s) to ask:
1. In the event of a compromised US Marshal Service; who will actually execute the law? Protection = local? Any?
2. In the absence of DoD JAG, whom will know/resist lawful from unlawful?

3. What point is their rubicon?—any enforcement/response mechanism?
I feel like what’s missing in the public space is, for the rest of us watching this insanity at break neck speed: is there some thing or line that will signal some sort of Const. Restoration Mvmt in govt?

More succinctly, if no Marshals, comprised DoJ and iffy DoD command structure, & courts are defied: who’s gonna HOLD them in contempt? What does a realistic enforcement mechanism look like? Does that play into martial law?

What I can’t seem to find anyone discussing…
1. In the event of a compromised US Marshal Service; who will actually execute the law? Protection = local? Any?
2. In the absence of DoD JAG, whom will know/resist lawful from unlawful?

The judge ordered that proof of compliance is necessary and that she's going to hold any individual in contempt if they try to get cute.
Bondi could lose her law license.
