What would THAT mean?….
Judge Boasberg’s three-page order was a remarkable display of frustration with an administration that has sought not only to use the extraordinary powers of the wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act, to pursue its immigration agenda, but has also stubbornly refused to provide even the most basic information about the deportation flights.
In the past few days alone, Justice Department lawyers made a last-minute effort to cancel a hearing before Judge Boasberg in which they were expected to discuss the flights in court. They then took the highly unusual step of asking the federal appeals court sitting over him to remove him from the case altogether.
All of this has unfolded as leading officials, like Attorney General Pam Bondi, and legions of President Trump’s supporters have assailed Judge Boasberg as a hack, a Marxist and a terrorist sympathizer. Mr. Trump himself has also entered the fray, demanding this week that Judge Boasberg be impeached.
That prompted a rare public rebuke from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who released a statement on Tuesday saying that the appeals process, not impeachment, was the proper way to deal with unfavorable rulings.
The Trump administration, in several cases filed against it in the past two months, has faced accusations of having failed to comply with judges’ orders, but none of the proceedings so far has resulted in a finding of contempt. If a judge did find officials in contempt, it could lead to financial penalties or even, if the offense was serious enough, to the jailing of administration officials.
But in the end, judges have little actual authority to enforce their orders in the face of disobedience. And legal scholars have expressed concern that if a judge eventually accuses the White House of disobeying an order and the administration presses forward anyhow, it could lead to a constitutional crisis.
Judge Boasberg, the chief judge in Federal District Court in Washington, has been trying for days, and in various ways, to get the administration to tell him — under seal, if needed — what time the two planes carrying the Venezuelan immigrants departed the United States, what time they left American airspace and what time they landed….
Note…
If the Trump Admin completely disregards the judge?
Will the Admin THEN feel free to disregard ALL jusdes including the Supreme Court, which at THAT time would mean that Trump’s actions are NOT accountable to ANYONE …
Hence?
He WOULD become the First American KING unless the state’s revolded against him …..
Which would bewgins America’s Second Civil War?
