PING!
JUDGE: I issued you an order.
DOJ: Your order is flawed on many levels... and the planes had already left.
JUDGE: I order you to comply.
DOJ: 1. We can’t (it’s already moot), and 2. You don’t have either the authority or the jurisdiction.
JUDGE: YOU MUST COMPLY.
SCOTUS: No, the DOJ is right.
JUDGE: Well, they’re still contemptible.
Boasberg thinks he’s a pit bull, unfortunately he bit the bumper of the Trump truck and it’s doing 100MPH. Boasberg can’t let go now. He’s doomed. The black robes club of alternative government is on full display.
You can bet he’s looking for some fool to Sue the Trump Admin on something so he can start again ,LOL
I starting to believe that what must be decided is whether the Executive Branch (individually and collectively) can be held in contempt of the Judicial Branch.
If it can, then there is no separation of powers.
Same goes for ‘contempt of Congress’.
The Executive has no powers to find either Congress or the Judiciary in ‘contempt’.
AAMoF, each of the other 2 branches must look to the Executive branch to enforce a contempt ruling.
Surely he can trump up 34 felonies from thin air. It's so easy even Alvin Bragg can do it.
In his photos Boasberg has kind of a pointy head - I volunteer to help him out by hammering it down some.
if Boasberg’s court lacked jurisdiction from the beginning, then his orders are void, not merely vacated. Essentially, without jurisdiction, he had no more authority than you or I to issue an order to Trump.
Judge Blowhard is pissed because Pres. Trump blew away USAID. Blowhard’s wife and daughter were both paid directly or indirectly by USAID for Jobs that produced nothing.
“ but one can still be held in contemp”
His contempt citation would mean nothing. The judge has no police or prosecutors. Thanks Eric Holder, thanks Merrick Garland got teaching us that contempt basically means “he’s mad!”. Lol
Bigy Winning with a dose of Schardenfreude.
Can’t Trump just pardon anyone held in contempt?
Boasberg might want to rethink the other cases against President Trump’s policies that he finagled to have assigned to himself.
