We are just about at the point where a court orders the government do something & the government refuses to do it, which is practically what this amounts to. Either the courts find an effective mechanism to force compliance, or Trump steamrolls right over them.

The capitulation is complete. Jodi Ernst signals her support of Pete Hegseth, an alleged sexual predator. Ernst, a veteran and a survivor of sexual assault, has no principles. She's chosen to risk our national security by installing an unqualified hack to preserve her power.
