They are very, very limited.
Legal experts say there are few options to force compliance with its pronouncements. Judges could hold an agency or official in civil or criminal contempt – but that’s about it.
But even that is very unlikely because of this tactic by Trump:
“Well, I always abide by the courts, and then I’ll have to appeal it – but then what he’s done is he’s slowed down the momentum, and it gives crooked people more time to cover up the books,” Trump said. “So yeah, the answer is I always abide by the courts, always abide by them. And we’ll appeal, but appeals take a long time.”
By announcing his intention to abide by court orders, it makes it very difficult for anyone to prove that he is deliberately violating them. He just has to keep saying that "I always abide by the courts," with a straight face.
If that tactic seems familiar, it is. It was used over and over by Biden administration witness called by Congress to avoid admitting that they were not complying with congressional requests and subpoenas. A Republican would say, "Why haven't you provided the documents that I've been asking for for over a year?" The Democrat Bureaucrat would would say, "I strive to be responsive to all congressional requests and that one is no exception. My staff is working on providing a response to that request."
Now, we have the sad spectacle of judges ordering Trump to spend money, and only a few days later complaining publicly that he is not complying. Do they not realize how weak and insignificant that makes them look?
One thing you learn fast as a teacher is to never tell a child, "You're gonna do what I tell you to do," unless you are absolutely sure you can force that child to comply. Which of course you never can be sure of. So, you don't say it, if you're smart.
Give the directive, and if not followed, give the consequence. Don't complain about your plight to the student's peers, they'll just laugh at you.
What Trump will do to these hate-filled judges now is what a child does when you tell him "pick up your pencil and start the assignment, right now!" The kid then picks up his pencil in slow motion, touches it to the paper and pretends to read the first question for the rest of the class.
These must be gay or lesbian judges who never raised a kid from infancy. Parents learn the above if they do not keep a wooden spoon or hairbrush handy.
