This was all planned. A must read by Timothy Snyder:

Perhaps Trump’s sense of SCOTUS ownership has allowed this admin to believe court orders are a merely suggestion. Perhaps one day, they will all be fired too.

The US Marshals Service is the enforcement arm of the US Federal Courts System, is part of the Department of Justice and works at the direction of the US Attorney General. What happens when a Federal Judge issues a Court order in contradiction to actions of a rogue federal government action?

I have the need to repeat my reply from just yesterday..we're NOT "Edging" closer to Autocracy...It's HERE. You are reporting the obvious. Snub The Judiciary...Do Not Count on the Supreme Court to save us. That batch is mostly rotten.

Defying a court order, you are now dealing with a self proclaimed narcissistic king.

A constitutional crisis isn’t a single line that’s crossed. It’s a series of moves that weaken democracy and the rule of law. What we’re witnessing here has occurred in every authoritarian regime that’s ever happened in a formerly democratic nation.

It kills me to say it, but this is the end of democracy.

Supreme Court rings are still ahead of us

But the “asymptotic” heuristic just isn’t cutting it in mid-Mach 2025

I remember back to JFK and LBJ and remember Nixon well
Trump has gone far beyond what Nixon did

Trump will overrule SCOTUS.

Because in the past, there was an expectation that defying courts would come at a cost.

Trump doesn't believe he'll face any consequence... and quite honestly, I don't see that he will. If he ignores the judges, who's around to challenge him?
