Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can we please for the love of God have a judge actually enforce their order for once? He has shown over and over that he's just going to do what he wants. The rest of us would have to sleep on a jail bench for a few days then still be forced to comply.
That’s the problem with the separation of powers… The executive branch is supposed to be the one that enforces the laws… The judicial branch has very little power to actually enforce their rulings. And Trump is the head of the executive branch.
I'm not sure on the legal veracity but I read somewhere after one of his MANY ignored court orders that the Marshals might have the ability to enforce it somehow
They might. We never seem to know for sure how our own laws work, but it is a distinct possibility.
Trump doesn't personally fill the SNAP accounts, and Trump doesn't personally manage the money.
Start charging the employees with violating court orders.
That's what happens when the Supreme Court decides that when the president does it, it's not illegal. He does what he wants because the Republican justices decided that The President is above the law. There literally isn't any legal way for a judge to enforce their orders over Trump.
"Hey, guys that work for Trump, punish Trump!"
You can see why it doesn't work so well.
Judges don't work for Trump at least legally speaking.
No, the judges are asking the Executive branch (which Trump is the head of) to do the enforcing. The judges don't have an enforcement arm.
