In a thundering opinion on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg announced that he had found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for defiance of his orders. It is “obvious,” Boasberg wrote, that government officials “deliberately flouted” his commands by deporting Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran prison on March 15 under President Donald Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. And now they must answer for their unlawful conduct. “The Constitution,” he declared, “does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders—especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it.”
Amazing how Trump can get what he wants right away, but to get Trump under anything took us years, and didn’t have him rot in jail. Weird how the “justice” system works.
That’s how it goes. Turns out you can destroy things a lot faster than you can build them. And you can build things poorly faster than you can build them right
It’s always easy to tear things down, it’s hard to do things right
It’s easy to make up excuses for shit you don’t want to do.
So what are you doing bedside bitching in a community forum in a far darkened corner of the Internet where no one is who they say they are, and there’s no one around that would care if they were.
