We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos,” he wrote. “This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.”
Why the fuck would anyone believe these turds believe in the rule of law? It’s contrary to everything that’s happened since 2016.
Because they know the law is dead and are in denial
Issuing the contempt charges will only expose that fact
Because the people urging a calm, measured response who are talking about “our good brethren in the Executive Branch” are also fascists; they’re just quiet about it.
Fascist enablers are fascists.
Within the remains of the crumbling system, this is how Judges have to write to have the best chance of success, because the Supreme Court has told the lower courts that they must express deference toward the powers of the executive, which they have also made almost total
The government must bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States after he was illegally deported to a brutal Salvadoran prison, or else the country will descend into lawlessness.
As they do very little. They can all get an audience, but they won’t do the dirty work.
Federal law enforcement ultimately reports to the president, not the judiciary. Maybe that was a mistake, but there is nothing the judiciary can do within the system if the executive refuses to enforce against itself. Maybe they could go outside the system but, so could you.
They have marshalls for that. Perhaps what this is showing us that the marshalls need some reforms
The Director of the United States Marshals Service answers to the president. They protect the judiciary, but they aren’t it’s police force.
We’ve lost the chance at reform. It’s just gonna be 100 years of authoritarian rule.
I don’t agree that it’s locked in, but we are certainly at the presupace. You and I are still talking about this without significant fear of the secret police knocking down our doors, so we aren’t there yet.
