Law means nothing.
So that means he's being put in a cell?
Yeah, but out of how many? And how many things has he done that should be in a court right now, but they aren't?
"I've made my ruling! Now tell the people who work for you to enforce it on you."
Stupid Andrew Jackson and his stupid horse face making things difficult centuries later.
Andrew Jackson's statement that he would have refused to have the executive branch enforce the Supreme Court's ruling was dangerous, but it ended up not mattering in practice. The losing party in that case was the State of Georgia, and Georgia ended up complying with the court orders.
If Trump starts ordering the executive branch to disobey court orders, it may set up a crisis, and it might be one that he doesn't win. His own loyalists appointed to the heads of the departments and agencies might listen to him, but the actual rank and file of who needs to implement the orders could end up in open revolt. After all, even the military has it ingrained that one only needs to obey lawful orders, not unlawful ones.
The governor's ball a few days ago saw a whole group of military soldiers singing a Les Mis song instead of whatever it was they planned. I doubt the military would comply with unconstitutional orders; despite the fact that the president is commander-in-chief, they still swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.
And that means, , nothing at all because your system is broken and you have no law
They have selectively enforced law
"selectively" as in "in a way that won't stop nor deter trump"
As in: you are billionaire - no penalty, you are pleb - full force of law
correct
Cool, now who enforces? crickets
It can even be enforced, but it doesn't matter, because there's no real drawback from these rulings. He can sign 100 executive orders a day, and that will go to 100 courtrooms and take them weeks or more to sort out.
He can just keep pumping these out all day, it's a "throw as much shit at the wall as possible" situation, some of it is going to stick.
So that's three judges about to get DOGEd.
Republicans will open investigations and impeachments against them all.
If they’re taking up time doing this, its less time to write shit legislation.
So much winning!
