update - Judge Boasberg ponders contempt proceedings vs Trump administration
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
Hold on Mandy...would it be ok for Trump to defy Supreme court ruling?.........the way Joe Biden did? Or is that a "fascist move".
Trumpnis basically pushing the envelope but all within the rules...he appeals...he at least does it...
He's proving every lefty wrong....
And @squeezer ... you still can't call him racist and misogynist...lol..
Denying due process is not within the rules.
It is infact against the rules.
Chief judge?
Who would this chief judge be?
(I'm just trying to figure out what level of court you think this could happen in.)
Bold face and italics from me for emphasis.
The judge issued his order but one plane already took off and we don't know what happened to the other two.
I haven't yet seen reporting on whether that first one turned back or what have you.
He appeals, but so far his appeals have simply confirmed the lower court rulings.
Please point to the defiance by Biden in question.
How you defy the court has a lot to do with how one should judge the action.
Things like due process and following the law... I know these might be confusing to you, but they matter.
This is the exact discussion we are having, aren't we?
What is he doing that is flagrant law breaking, what will the courts allow, and what will he do when checked?
He's proved most every warning (whether from "a lefty" or not) correct and he clearly is a racist and misogynist so I don't know why you think squeezer can't call him that.
To be fair, their argument tends to be "these people aren't actually owed due process, so we aren't breaking the rules".
Gotcha.
So they appeal and the suit does not go forward while the appeal is adjudicated.
So it looks like one plane landed in El Salvador, so since we do have evidence one of the Honduras flights took off, we should probably assume all three planes were sent and the judge was ignored.

Chief Judge "Hey Mr Asshole President. You are flagrantly in breach of this court's orders. You are no longer allowed to file or defend ANY lawsuits of any type in this court until you purge your contempt."
Which he ignores.
Because what is the Chief Judge going to do about it?
Here's the thing, if Trump is determined to ignore the courts, he can.
It will then provoke a constitutional crisis, but he can absolutely do it.
But first off, the Supreme Court can overrule that judge's decision or put a stay on it.
Secondly, the other districts can just decide that the ban on lawsuits doesn't apply in their districts.
You keep thinking that this is somehow about the law when this is actually about power.
Will a judge put that kind of target on their back?
Maybe.
The idea that it just works because it is supposed to work is where I take issue.
trump is a crook, a fraud artist and a rapist.
He wants to end rules based governance.
He wants to be a mob boss like Putin.
Is Trump the end of the international rules-based order?
Analysts mull if this isn’t the beginning of the end for the ‘rules-based order’, long accused of hypocrisy.
The judge then says "You're in contempt of court. Your access to this court to either defend or launch ANY FUTURE CASE IN THIS COURT is now suspended until you purge your contempt."
Cool.
There are other courts.
And that judge can be overruled.
Yes, in the normal world, this would be a significant threat.
We currently don't know if we still live in that world.
How can the judge enforce this?
