some people don't understand that the judiciary lacks the constitutional authority to enforce anything

a court order is not a "law" in and of itself, and it's tiring reading comments that treat one as such

Courts should say yes (guilty) or no (not guilty) and impose penalties for the guilty in criminal cases, and yes (the plaintiff is right) or no (the plaintiff is not right) in civil cases and then award or not award fair compensation. Prescribing remedies is beyond their purview.

Yet, that is what got us where we are, courts deciding how a problem should be solved. In Texas, in the wake of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Judge William Wayne Justice basically ran the prison system for thirty years or so. Judge Barefoot (yep that's his name) Sanders ran the states school sytems.

Then .. what is a "court order" if not an ORDER OF THE COURT ..?? And .. since the DCF rules say that this court had the authority to approve or disapprove of their removal actions - the DCF had an obligation to obey the order. So when the local police said they were ready to ENFORCE that order - the DCF could do nothing.
