From the get go of the second Trump administration, it was clear that the president would try to pass a bunch of executive orders without any clear indication that he, or his trusted advisors, actually knew if it was legal. https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/what-happens-if-trump-defies-court-orders/

Thankfully there are people who will at least try to hold them accountable.
Thanks Marc.
It’s > of the same Dem Party, Garland, Mueller report nothing burgers.
Of course he’s going to ignore the courts & eventually ignore SCOTUS if necessary.
He’s a f^<€ing dictator FFS‼️
Solve for THAT.
You don’t think they are lustily stroking Robert’s knife in the back that is Trump v United States?
Interesting read
“Once you have the President saying, “Well, I don’t need to follow a court order. What about . . . “
What happens next?
It depends on . . .?
What are optional responses?
Who responds and how?
Who knows?

they know it is neither legal nor moral
Maybe fed court judges will ignore trumps lawsuits that he brings against others that he is suing
Gratified that right after I posted, a law prof (at Mizzou) "liked" it. Key issue 'course is state prosecutorial jurisdiction. Unless there's some preemption/supremacy rule/law, I'm right.
I think.

Khrushchev, like 65 years ago
"We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!"

The only guardrail is the power of the power as the late John Lewis eloquently said ‘good trouble
The only remaining concern will he order thugs to kill peaceful protesters.
Please wake the hell up
It certainly seems no-one took them seriously.
And here we are…
Since we can’t impeach until the immunity ruling gets reversed,
Let the judges in each case stack their own law enforcement and make arrests!!
All these court cases,the trump administration are losing.If Trump or Elon are held in contempt,The judge in charge CAN get their own police enforcement to arrest at least Elon. Impeachment won’t happen til we get control
Spoiler alert the answer is 500 million guns in civilian hands.
It’s a month and it feels like it’s already been 4 years
Just bc bounty hunters are used for bail skippers, it's not solely for that purpose.
While POTUS may have immunity for official acts, that ruling did not immune the entire executive branch & their "consultants".
Save the Nation
Break no Laws
Fully Constitutional
Wanted Dead or Alive vibe
Plays well on TV
Just add a judges order.
Bounty hunters are not nice people which is why they exist.
The article has no answer, other than fines or being held in contempt.
The critical question is: what is the mechanism which would actually enforce the orders? There isn't one.
"something"?
1. Seize local power—demand radical federalist policies at the state level.
2. Escalate strategically—rallies, sit-ins, blockades, strikes.
3. Stay organized—encrypted communication, decentralized actions, and persistence
I don't think they counted on the resilience of American people to resist them
What's that line about Satan from War Pigs?
This continuously puzzles me when people keep trying to fight Trump as if he were an honest citizen. He's not he's like De Niro playing Capone with a baseball bat beating our heads in.

A thought, though - he himself does not control anything (even his mouth). It’s the mibillionaire white Christian racists behind him that are in control, his own ‘power’ is just his fantasy.
Here is the blueprint to stop the coup.

Totally agree with the sentiment but impeachment is literally impossible with the current makeup of the House
Guaranteed failure
Won't help
Why is this still so hard for Americans to grasp?
You're all sitting around pretending nothing has happened.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination against applicants, employees, and former employees. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, or sex.
And he won't leave on his own.
Once you had such experience, you know it.
Ah yes I remember that article from The Atlantic.
I recently found this also:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/24/trump-nyt-ad-george-conway-pac
And we feel hopeless because:
1. people don't understand it
2. people don't believe it
3. some people who know it actually agree with it or benefit from it
4. some people became so nihilistic they actually want it
Not even mentioning pure human stupidity.
Question is what is going to be done about it
Not going to obey any additional court orders.
But this is the game plan. Flood the zone.
The 6 Christofacusts who granted him near absolute immunity helped make him believe that he is the ultimate authority.
Even for espionage & Treason.
His admin, no.
But full pardons dished out with lunch!!
No going back.
#45th-II believes he's untouchable. He will weaponise everything to maintain that deception.
Sorry about that.
I’m not a lawyer but it seems like there is a pretty big hole there.
He’s a dictator. He’s a Nazi.
I'm so tired of trump being crazy!
Arrest this man
Musk is no better with his frequent "retard" and "pedophile" insults. Ridiculously immature.
Is the Tom Hanks film "Big" true? Are they both kids in adult bodies?
He is completely detached from everyone else. Every person in the world is an unrelated entity to him, including immediate family.
Full defensive tantrum when attacked, while taunting people who compliment him, trying to make them look weak & subserviant to his 'power'.
No-one is getting near to Donald anymore.
Every crime Trump evaded for four years under the Biden Administration turned out to be legal, didn't it.
Fines are outside Trump’s control, unlike the U.S. Marshals whom Trump could try to block from enforcing court orders.
There is no "if he defies the courts".
And it should be a pretty small friggin number.
