    If you think that judges will make a difference then I can only tell you to get your head out of your ass, Maga politicians and organizations have been ignoring one court order after another, or get the supreme court to just say it’s fine.

    This is just nonsense and not based in reality.

    Here is the list of every single case involving the Trump administration: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-series/trials-of-the-trump-administration/tracking-trump-administration-litigation The vast majority of cases are losses and denied on appeal.

    Are there still troops in California after the judge ordered them out? Is Kilmar Garcia still in CECOT after a judge ordered him returned? Has Mahmoud Khalil been deported despite a court order?

    No, because the court orders are being followed. Yes, the US Justice Department lawyers do everything they can to avoid following them but they cannot tell a Judge no and the Judge is overseeing the case until their orders are followed.

    You’re not arguing based on reality, you’re arguing based on social media optics.

    I don’t know what it’ll take to fix this, but asking kindly will not suffice, that much is clear

    “I’m not recommending violence, but nothing else will work”

    Having an Impeachment trial, and blocking funding for DHS isn’t ‘asking nicely’ these are the powers that check the Executive branch in the US system of government.

    If you don’t believe in that system of government then you’re no better than the alt-right fascists and are allied with enemies of the US.
