As Bill Clinton might say it all depends on the meaning of the word “authority”.
A judge may or may not have legal “authority” but then there is the issue of enforcement.
Several Presidents have successfully thumbed their noses at judicial “authority”—and been declared American heros for doing so.
(Hello Dredd Scott...lol.)
Agreed - authority vs. enforceability.
At issue in this situation are 2-3 detained immigrants and what their status was prior to the plane taking off and if the TRO applied to them.
Unfortunately, hack “news” sites like TGP don’t even report the issues at play regarding this case. So you get their articles posted here followed by lazy and/or ignorant reading followed by outrage posting. Easily led, easily influenced. TGP is like the Pied Piper of ignorance.
