They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

I’ve been reading and watching science fiction for around 65 years and I don’t think I’ve run into the plot of #Severance before. It’s nice to see a new (to me) idea. There may be something that comes close to the main conceit before but, if so, I missed it. Great fun. Great episode last night.
