"Clinton did not defy the Federal courts, if I recall. Please refresh my memory if I'm wrong."

On the contrary, Clinton did indeed defy the U.S. Supreme Court, although you can be forgiven for not knowing about it because our entire corrupt media conspired to spike the story.

In particular, President Clinton wrote an Executive Order forbidding the Department of Justice from enforcing the 1989 Beck decision, by which the SCOTUS ordered unions to refund the dues to any members who had ideological objections to the political ads financed by unions.

Despicable as that was, it's not analagous to this situation.

The US Congress is fully within its Constitutional rights to block any funds to enforce the decision of the 11th Circuit. I don't have any problem with that, except that it sets up a Constitutional crisis, which would be messy.

What I do have is a problem with is a judge refusing to recognize and comply with the instructions of a court which is superior to his. He is damaging the judicial system by his actions.

Some people, maybe even most people, here think that's great. It is not.
