Because the established powers to do so are limited, particularly for federal judges in the face of the current administration, and judges inclined to do so in these cases are also inclined to hold to the norms and precedents and traditions that limit their power. 1/
One such hurdle is that the process of putting lawyers in jail will make getting rapid action and rapid action and a quick judicial process next to impossible. It tees up easy appeal wins for Trump if you don't also slow down the process to accommodate the burdens of jailing the lawyers.
Thanks, I think I understand. Our legal system is so burdensome & the process requires that many steps to make the conviction appeals proof? Now that I think about it, Pam Bondi would be in charge of prosecuting these cases wouldn't she? If so...nevermind. smh.
For criminal consequences, its not complicated. Its A) Pam Bondi B) SCOTUS C) Unreviewable Pardon Power. Criminal contempt is not on the table. What gets complicated are the limited powers courts have to jail people civilally and how a lawyer in prison slows down the process to get citizens help.
