      I upvoted, but on reflection, I can’t tell if this was sarcasm (which is why I up voted) or if it’s sincere (which in that case, fuck off)…

      They have largely been complying with court orders thus far. I get the sentiment, but repeating this is just normalizing the idea of them majorly violating court orders when we need there to be strong push back if they do

      They want you to be apthatic and think nothing will work so you stop fighting back

        The court orders are a temporary roadblock. Trump will either fire the judges or appeal to the Supreme Court.

          Judges can’t be fired - they have to be removed via impeachment which requires 67 in the senate. Republicans only have 53 in the senate

          SCOTUS is insane but they have their own agenda that doesn’t always align with trump. They often have and keep ruling against him in a good number of cases. They are far more selective on when to be insane

          Fight every fight. It’s not over at all

            Judges can’t be fired

            And trump can’t unilaterally shutter departments funded by congress. How’s that going so far?

      This is an absurdly ignorant comment.

      Why do judges, elected from the country or put into positions from elected officials and confirmed by a representative body have to do with mega billionaires ?

        Federal judges are appointed, and they have lifetime positions, just like SCOTUS.

        Parent commenter is describing what the administration is likely to continue doing. They’ve already paid little heed to federal injunctions against them. They’ve already started calling federal judges into question.
