(CNN) - US District Judge James Boasberg ruled Wednesday that “probable cause exists” to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt for violating his orders in mid-March halting the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.

The judge is still deciding punishment and the next steps he may take, and is giving the Justice Department an opportunity to respond.

this would be my solution to these judges...

with all the fraud found, every time one of these judges act up, drop the hammer and arrest a democrat for fraud. not a single person can convince me they cant do this. not a single person can convince me it wouldn’t work El’Quicko!!!

Don’t hold your breath. Too many Republicans in Congress would need to grow spines, first.

It’s nice to know Judge Boasberg is also in charge of the Executive Branch and can serve as President.
I sleep better at night knowing that his wise leadership is keeping us safe from all dangers.

Isn't this the order that the SC over-ruled him on? What possible basis could he have for contempt charges?

How soon before the US Congress removes him from the bench.

The US Congress in both houses is headed by RINOs, so the answer is never.

“How soon before the US Congress removes him from the bench.”

*************

I would advise not holding your breath. The Republican Congress and the administration are both afraid of these two bit, power abusing judges. The time to stand up to them and their usurpation of executive authority was early on. The robes got emboldened when there was no push back and now there’s judicial encroachment every day.

THIS is Trump’s chance to crush the judiciary. DO NOT EVEN REPLY to this “order.” DO NOT ATTEND any further hearings. Send out minor spokespeople - not the A.G., not a US Atty - and simply state Boasberg has no jurisdiction, and that he is in danger of violating the Behavior clause of Article III, and may face sanctions by the DOJ.

How will Judge Boasberg be able to enforce his ruling? Only through the U.S. Marshals Service, which is a division of the Justice Department. The current acting director is Mark Pittella. The question arises that if Boasberg issues a contempt order, will Pittella follow through? If Pittella attempts to enforce the order, will Attorney General Bondi countermands that order and dismiss him?

Who cares...

This is the real issue, and the left just doesn’t see it. They have literally made such a mess of things, and lied and cheated and stole, that if they think they are going to get some major ourage out of the public because Trump sent some terrorists to a prison in another country and some activist judge doesn’t like it that its going to cause anyone to lose sleep.. .they are NUTS.

Yes the radical left will wail, but must everyone else will be, eff that judge... and move on with their lives.

What happens when you spend 2+ decades gaslighting and lying dems...
