Jdge fnds cause to hld Trump admnstratn in crmnal cntempt over deprtation flghts

From a different article:<p>&gt; &quot;The next step would be for the Court, pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, to request that the contempt be prosecuted by an attorney for the government,&quot; Boasberg wrote.<p>&gt; If the Government &quot;declines&quot; or &quot;the interest of justice requires,&quot; the Court will &quot;appoint another attorney to prosecute the contempt,&quot; he wrote.<p>He&#x27;s already anticipating a corrupt DOJ trying to drop the case.

We&#x27;ll see how quickly the courts catch on to the fact that his administration has zero intent on keeping their word even if they agreed to do something.<p>I think the courts assume that both parties do what they say they&#x27;ll do &#x2F; are honest participants in the process. But that does advantage those who are happy to use the process to just do what they want in the meantime.<p>Of course what consequences could there be? SCOTUS already decided that the POTUS is immune if it is an &quot;official act&quot;. They did what they could to enable this kind of behavior. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, not sure how they forgot about that one.

Should be interesting to see the DOJ&#x27;s response. Considering the wagons have been circled since day one, we may see an independent prosecutor execute this referral. If so, discovery might have some fun details about the early days of the deportation campaign.<p>The administration has been flaunting the fact that judges can&#x27;t easily police their bad faith actions (&quot;oops, too late&quot;, &quot;ms13 is an invading military&quot;). Here Boasberg has found a low threshold for holding the administration accountable.

Honest question: How close is the US to a civil war? A real, not metaphorical one, with bullets and a body count?<p>I would be interested in hearing readers&#x27; opinions...

A contempt order is a nothingburger if he&#x27;s put no one in jail.<p>There are already court cases being discovered of Kilmar Garcia being issued domestic violence restraining order(s) at the behest of his wife who speaks the exact opposite about him. By the time the court gets around to actually holding anyone in contempt, the media and government will have already found a way to assassinate the character of any victims involved to the point all momentum will be lost.

In other news, Trump has apparently put tariffs on vowels.

EDIT: Ignore me, as pointed out below I’m a hypocrite per my comment history where I have engaged in the past on political topics here against my better judgement. Sorry, I was having a bad day.<p>It’s a free country…post what you want and I’ll ignore what I want. :)<p>From the HN Guidelines...<p>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they&#x27;re evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they&#x27;d cover it on TV news, it&#x27;s probably off-topic.<p>Can we please stop with all the political postings on here. It&#x27;s really drowning out the interesting content. There are plenty of other avenues to discuss politics.
