I think we can accurately say much of the trump agenda is on pause. This is worse.

No, they began as "protective custody" arrests.

The Mental health thing was the T4 Aktion.

We just went through four years of Biden making unlawful EO's and, even when struck down by the Supreme Court, he just defied what the Court decided.

He did NOT “defy” rulings.

He tried to tailor his program to comply with them and that was struck down so he complied with THAT.

Judge Rules the White House Failed to Comply With Court Order​

A federal judge on Monday said the White House has defied his order to release billions of dollars in federal grants, marking the first time a judge has expressly declared that the Trump White House was disobeying a judicial mandate.

The ruling by Judge John J. McConnell Jr. in Rhode Island federal court ordered Trump administration officials to comply with what he called “the plain text” of an edict he issued last month.

Judge McConnell’s ruling marked a step toward what could quickly evolve into a high-stakes showdown between the executive and judicial branches, a day after a social media post by Vice President JD Vance claimed that “judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” elevating the chance that the White House could provoke a constitutional crisis.

Already, more than 40 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration, challenging Mr. Trump’s brazen moves that have included revoking birthright citizenship and giving Elon Musk’s teams access to sensitive Treasury Department payment systems. Judges have already ruled that many of these executive actions may violate existing statutes.

Violating existing statutes in pursuit of enacting various EO's is one thing. Violating a recently issued court order is another kind of animal.

The most litigious prez ever to occupy the WH, resulting from the personal commission of crimes, is on course to have his admin spend much of its time defending its actions against lawsuits and judicial orders. Which, frankly, is going just as some of us expected.

Judges are not gods

We need limits to their authority

That is not the only example. He repeatedly did illegal EO's, and letting the courts decide afterward and then wouldn't comply. Now you're having a cow because Trump learned from the democrats how it's done.

 

[Seymour Flops]

You think that’s the end of it???

How will this little judge enforce his order? This seems to be a very frightening question for the lefties on this thread.

 

[Mac-7]

So, how will the judge enforce his order?

He cant

The idiots will cheer for this.

Indeed. Something speaking to the juvenile pathology in their psyche that roots for the kid being punished by the principal. They want to be rules breakers but don't have the courage. Dontard is their surrogate.

I get the feeling you aren't so much saying Dontard shouldn't comply with a federal court order as subtly boasting about trump's ability to ignore it if he chooses to. Which means you are unwittingly giving tacit approval to the very kind of authoritarian abuse of power we Dem's have been warning about.

Your legal opinion has been given all the consideration it deserves. 0.

Both Judge McConnell and a federal judge in Washington, D.C., had previously ordered the White House to unfreeze federal funds locked up by a memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget which demanded that billions of dollars in federal grants be held back until they were determined to comply with President Trump’s priorities, including with ideological litmus tests.

On Friday, 22 Democratic attorneys general went to Judge McConnell to accuse the White House of failing to comply with his earlier order. The Justice Department responded in a filing on Sunday that money for clean energy projects as well as transportation infrastructure allocated to states by the Inflation Reduction Act and the bipartisan infrastructure bill was exempt from the initial order, because it had been paused under a different memo than the one that prompted the lawsuit.

Judge McConnell’s ruling on Monday explicitly rejected that argument.

His initial order, he wrote, was “clear and unambiguous, and there are no impediments to the Defendants’ compliance with” it.

I think the judge is wrong. We will see what happens on appeal

^^^^^^Notice that Berg was completely silent back when Biden was giving the finger to the Supreme Court and other instances like when he repeatedly defied the Supreme Court and vowed to forge ahead with forgiving student loans to buy votes, despite the fact that he had absolutely no authority to just arbitrarily forgive selective student loans.^^^^^^

Democrat tries to buy votes = OK.

Democrat ignores Supreme Court = OK.

Trump trying to clean up corruption and fraud in government = NOT OK.

Here's how Biden defied the Supreme Court to cancel $144 billion in student loans

President Joe Biden unveiled another round in his steady drip of student debt write-offs on Thursday, announcing that 78,000 public sector workers would

Sunday on X, Vice President Vance made a provocative post that seemed to suggest that when it comes to the legality of the White House’s orders, judges do not have the final say. “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” he wrote.

Mr. Vance’s post “opens the door to a potentially dangerous path,” said Quinta Jurecic, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a senior editor at Lawfare. “What Vance’s wording suggests here, without directly saying it, is that the executive could potentially respond to a court order by saying to the court, ‘You’re unconstitutionally intruding on my authority and I’m not going to do what you say.’”

“At that point,” Ms. Jurecic said, “The Constitution falls apart.”

Federal Courts Are the Frontline for Those Opposing Trump Executive Orders

With a compliant Congress and mostly quiet streets, the president’s opponents are turning to the judicial branch with a flurry of legal actions. But can the courts keep up?

Same for Judges.

It's both.

Which means you are unwittingly giving tacit approval to the very kind of authoritarian abuse of power we Dem's have been warning about.

The authoritarian abuse of power is an obscure Obama appointee in Rhode Island of all places, to tell the duly elected president of the United States that he is ordering the spending of billions of dollars.

The fact that he was elected doesn't give him the right to exceed the authority of the office of POTUS.
