Summary
A federal judge criticized a Trump administration Justice Department lawyer who claimed they didn’t have to follow the judge’s oral order blocking deportations to El Salvador because it wasn’t in writing.
Judge Boasberg questioned why the administration ignored his directive to return immigrants to the US. The DOJ lawyer repeatedly refused to provide information about the deportations, citing “national security concerns.”
Frustrated, Boasberg ordered sworn declarations explaining what happened, quipping that he would issue a written order “since apparently my verbal orders don’t seem to carry much weight.”
So what is the judge going to do? Admonish them?
At the end of Inglorious Basterds, Aldo Raines has his man kill Hans Landa’s assistant. Landa screams “You’ll be shot for that!” and Aldo says:
“Shot? I don’t think so, more like chewed out. I been chewed out before.”
During the first administration KellyAnne “SkankySkag” Conway received numerous fines for her near constant violations of the Hatch Act, eventually reaching $100,000, which she never paid. When asked about it, she casually dismissed it, saying “Let me know when they start talking about jail time.”
Things like censure, polls, stern warnings, appeals to morality, etc. Mean less than nothing to these traitors. They are determined to destroy America, and nothing less than harsh imprisonment will get through to them. If we get through this, we need to viciously purge MAGA from society and prohibit it’s existence.
One one way to do that
Judge Boasberg does have one other card he can play, according to FRCJ Rule 4.1(b). If the US Marshal service is unable or unwilling to carry out a federal court order, the Judge who issued the order can deputize individuals to carry it out.
Sounds like a “well-ordered militia” is called for.
Could they deputize, say, the military?
Not just the military. I draw your attention to this, emphasis mine
Section (b) says:
The line:
is interesting because it does not specify who is qualified to be appointed. Now, I am concerned that this language means that Judge Boasberg may only appoint one person, but if he seems it necessary, he could probably get away with appointing more.
Could he appoint one person who then assembles a “task force” of individuals who support them? Or do they have to be each appointed by the judge himself for that specific task?I think one guy isn’t going to cut it, but if 500 guys show up on the WH lawn to enforce the court order it might have some weight.
He’ll move up to SLAMS next
If that doesn’t work, the judge can throw him off Hell In A Cell, and plummet 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
don’t let this man distract you
Slamming the meat on the grill!
Asking respectively. What else can this judge do in the USA? Law is being blatantly ignored. This is dictatorship.
He can have members of the Trump administration dragged into court by U.S. Marshalls. And then if necessary, held in contempt of court and imprisoned.
Well, he criticized them… so. Lesson learned, right?
I’m expecting the Judicial will go as far as BASHED
