That's always a risk with Trump - that he'll at some point decide to openly defy the courts. The response to that would be some mix of judicial contempt, congressional contempt, denial of appropriations, and the like. If the Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating an executive order and they still go ahead, I would think it would be pretty easy to convince a judge to find the relevant administration people in contempt. And honestly in some ways that's the best case scenario for a crisis - clear defiance of a court order.malchior wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 11:57 amYeah agreed - *if* it doesn't happen is the crux. My concern is based on the DOJ reaction to the ruling and Barr's supposed affinity for expansive Presidential power. Let's say they lose and go ahead - what stops them? We have a glimpse that the DOJ lawyers already ejected from the case and they're just replacing them. It sure looks like we are in uncharted territory here.
Also would be a great time to impeach Trump.
