The Trump administration has not fully complied with a court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Amir Ali last week ordered the administration to allow the disbursement of U.S. foreign assistance after hearing claims from federal contractors challenging an executive order signed by President Donald Trump pausing nearly all foreign assistance.
Bring specific people into court, and hold them in contempt.
If they refuse to appear, assume judgement, and seize assets.
You don’t need a fucking army if you can force all their assets to be frozen. Worked for Russia, worked in the Red Scare, and it’ll work now.
Dude, you no longer have a functioning legal system
You are calling for antibiotics for a patient with no inmune system… trying to jump start a car with a siezed engine
If anything could work (and I’m not sure it would at this point) is a general, nation wide strike
Not true at all, and not sure why you think that suddenly all parts of the constitution stopped working. Your train of thought is why all these people online are furiously typing and shitting their pants at the same time instead of actually doing something.
Show me proof any part of your courts can or have held trump accountable?
any!.. just one example
Trump may be “off limits” according to SCOTUS but the people that carry out his illegal orders are not.
Remember, he is only immune for official acts. And the courts reserved the right to determine if an act is official. I think they could easily say that openly defying the courts ruling is not an official act. They will wait for something bigger I suspect, but the supreme court judges love power just as much as trump. They are probably excited by the prospect of expanding thier power by giving trump the boot.
This is the point. Anyone not complying with the actual court orders should get contempt. Trump can’t pardon them out of shit.
President does have the power to pardon someone for a federal contempt charge. So we’ll get into a wierd situation of perpetual pardons and contempts at some point. We can only pray that that level of recursion breaks the simulation and we can all leave this hell cape.
If this were civil, that would maybe be a thing.
This is… well its fundamentally different. We’ve undergone a coup. This kind of circle-jerking “But He’s Not Following The Law” by NBC, is well, masturbatory, and intentionally obscures what has happened.
NBC is part of the problem, not the solution. Being in contempt of courts when courts and law have no… why pretend like they do?
Not about civility. Doomers are saying there isn’t anything the other equal branches of government can do, but there is. This is one of those things.
I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word “civil” in this context.
Banks and private asset organizations are not the federal government.
If you’re trolling, fuck off.
If you’re just stupid, educate yourself.
Correct me if I’m stupid, I thought asset seizures need to go through the Department of Treasury, no? Like they can refuse to honor the FDIC, other things if banks don’t unfreeze?
This also all seems to go through the whole “if they comply”. Usually the DOJ enforces things, no?
