Today the Trump administration upped the ante by overtly treating federal judicial orders as optional. Once these thugs apply the same approach to the United States Supreme Court, expect the political shit to hit the fan.

Orban & Netanyahu are hardly great role models on that score.
They knew this was the outcome.
The screwed themselves they have no power whatsoever who would enforce anything ?
What is the recourse?
Nobody seems willing to answer this question.

We're about a week away from the current Executive and Legislative branches (in collusion) proving that the Judicial branch is irrelevant
Dark decades are ahead of us.
If that happens they’re totally irrelevant and useless.
I expect their approach will be just an attempt to artfully enable the worst of his transgressions.
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, AND IN SUCH INFERIOR COURTS as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.
Like when Schumer voted with the GOP ?
Rules for thee, but not for me.

...Some old person's musings that we should all just IGNORE. What a waste of time to educate lawyers & judges.
Just appoint some children to render verdicts
My question is: What happens if SCOTUS finds for DOJ?
The Supreme Court has done everything in its power to destroy voting rights, fair elections, women’s rights, and the Constitution. It only took Five tainted Justices and one corrupt felon!
You know what happens when you give praise to something or someone who doesn't deserve it?
You make me sick.
In case you haven't noticed. Donalds poll numbers remain steady at 35%-ish.
But then you went & elected DFT bc a bunch of you just couldn’t stand…
Sorry Canada & world. I can do nothing but say sorry that too many American's are stupid, the US is failing and hurting everybody now.
And here we ALL are. The world gets to experience your ignorance & hubris. And all you clowns do is move goalposts. Earlier it was ‘the democratic guardrails’ will hold. Then it was ‘the courts will constrain him’. Now it’s ’well surely…
Not fucking likely. When are you going to wake the fuck up & accept what you’ve done? To absolutely everybody on this planet.
Why are you not in the streets in THE MILLIONS fighting for your precious ‘shining city on the hill’? What will it take? Concentration…
Fuck America.
But I'm not giving up on our Democracy.
Waiting to see what end runs he's going to pull over the few SCOTUS decisions that went against him.
Trump administration and their billionaire partners are testing the rule of law to its farthest extent. We need to win this test.
