"...The Government has not challenged the validity of that order."
That's all that matters. Either court orders like this have force or they don't. This administration is arguing that they can defy such orders whenever they feel like it. That sets a dangerous precedent.
Not just for this administration, but for the next. If you're a Trump supporter or Republican, do you really want the next Democratic administration to defy court orders whenever they feel like it?
This isn't a partisan issue. It's about whether the courts have legitimacy and whether the executive branch can ignore them with impunity. I know where I stand. Do you?
Yes, that is the pragmatic reality. Respect for judicial authority and due process has now become politicized, even though ideally, it should be universally upheld by all parties.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but the right wing knows Democrats will never respond in kind. Our decency and willingness to follow the rules are baked into the right's open embrace of authoritarianism and human rights violations.
Either decency proves stronger than indecency or we're just screwed.
Yes, everyone should have to abide by the court orders if we are to survive as a Democratic Republic. I've said it a million times, if we protect the Constitution against lawless executive, we are not being treasonous, he is. We as the American people need to save our country and it's institutions
This is what Fascists Do. They test the systems in a Democracy till they break. They throw lies and distractions out and the next week they take it up the next step. This is how they create a culture of fear and normalize their cruelty, because it's them, not you. In several months you're next.
The U.S. Constitution is literally the DEFINITION of America.
America IS Rule of Law, and the U.S. Constitution IS the Law.
No Law / No America. Make America America Again and put Donald Trump in Jail where he belongs.

So it’s military coup, or civil war.
Those are the options now.
They see us as weak because we have weak, flaccid leadership
