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!

The judicial can only do so much. Congress being readily complicit makes this all much more difficult to combat.
I understand your point, but here's where I have the problem.
All the judges are doing are issuing a bunch of empty threats in the form of contempt citations that they can't even really enforce, while Trump basically makes fools out of the lot of them by ignoring their orders, saying 'what the fuck are you gonna do about it', and basically laughing when they blink and do nothing.
At this point, the judiciary has been made to look like a laughing stock. And they're going to continue to look like a laughing stock until they at least try to do something above and beyond holding hearings months down the road and threatening contempt charges they can't even enforce. They need to actually hold people in contempt. Not just threaten to. They need to say "You will be held in contempt of court until I am given a satisfactory answer". "You ordered his illegal deportation. You will be held in contempt until he is back on US soil."
Something. Anything. Yes, it's very likely Trump will just issue pardons and have them out of jail before lunch, but for the love of fuck make him do it. Trump continues trying to shove his dick in their mouths, and right now, the courts' response is to simply start sucking. They need to at least try to bite.
