As long as Trump obeyed the judges - or at least didn't disobey them - he was still south of the dictatorship line. Now he's crossed the line. Because the judicial was the last rampart before tyranny, and all previous dictatorships became official when they started ignoring the law.
This is not the first time disobeying judges, but ya.
Nor the first time ignoring legislation. Meaning he is ignoring all other branches of the government.
Lock him up! Laws are only effective if enforced!
Lock them up. This takes the support of people in ICE and elsewhere in the executive branch. If Trump wants to personally fly the plane down there, let him try.
Who will arrest him?
Normally the judge can deputize state officials to perform the arrest, but I think the attorney general can come up with a way to stop them, which she is definitely compromised. The only way to detain the people performing the orders would be for the states to make the arrests.
Red states won’t because MAGA
Blue states don’t want to risk loosing anymore funding
US Marshals, part of the executive branch. They recently deputized Elon’s security guards.
Well well well, if it isn’t that bridge in the rearview mirror that we were told wouldn’t be crossed but was also set on fire for good measure. And who could’ve seen my rep needing another $5 because it’s really dire this time, you guys.
Sergeant at Arms, I think you're up.
What? Majority in Congress support this chucklefuck
Is that the guy with the big mace?
During this administration I think the SaA is using nutmeg - less potent.
What are the consequences if Trump just ignores the judge?
Realistically, nothing. Another “constitutional crisis.” Only the people can stop him now.
Jeffries, Pelosi, Schumer send “thoughts and prayers”
Hey, they might hold a small sign or wear a special color for an afternoon. Sure to bring the new Nazis down, just like it did for Hitler.
The only thing you will see are the judges electing to arrest the ones carring out the orders. It has to come from the states I would think. He would just pardon whoever if it's a federal arrest.
America is officially dead. Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants
So, who's actually in charge of arresting the president? It's a random cop supposed to go in and deliver the procedural beat down and arrest?
Yet they missed Elon..
Are they even going to try a pretense of (bogus) legality here and say they didn’t get the memo before they already did it?
Why would they pretend? If no one enforces the law the fascists will just revel in its impotence.
Yeah exactly! Who would normally enforce something like this?
Since when is America at war with Venezuela?
Sounds like Contempt of Court.
