(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.

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

Maybe, but also too many Republicans are doing the same thing as the democrats. Notice you haven't heard much from Lindsay Graham? John McCain was more corrupt than the democrats. Mitch? Murkowski? The list goes on...

However, didn’t the SC say that this judge has no jurisdiction in this case??? What am I missing??

And, is the law like the military in that you do not have to follow unlawful orders?

These Leftist judges continue to destroy any credibility they once had with the American people.

The judge is still deciding punishment ...

4 years hard labor, suspended, 4 years probation - provided they open the border again and repatriate the “Maryland Man”. Arrests will be conducted by the Capitol police.

“to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt”

Judge GasBag won’t go after POTUS.

They’ll target “administration officials” with young kids, families, and small-town reputations to protect.

This is not about law, this is about CONTROL. And the LEFT will do anything to keep power.

But, The Left has miscalculated once again.
These are MAGA TruBelievers ready for the fight.
and the broad American Public is behind them.

Which is what I do not understand. Congress set up these lower court in what appears to be a back door to controlling the executive.

After all, Congress has done nothing to hold these judges accountable, which the statute states “can be removed ...”.

If Congress does nothing then Congress is indeed, COMPLICIT!!

I don’t know. Has my country, always, been populated by so many corruptibles and cowards?

Maybe, I’m just old and the world has passed-me-by. It’s discouraging.

And Trump can just keep impeaching everyone the judge tries to abuse. And the only one that could stop him from doing so is congress. They would have to impeach Trump. Do we think the house and the senate would have the votes?
