#DumpTrump definitely is NOT above the law.

The big ugly bill takes that power away.

Finally the judges stepped in! It's about time! More good news, MAGA got owned at Trup's memecoin dinner 😂 Social Media Influencer Paid $360,000 to Attend Trump’s Memecoin Dinner, Got ‘Walmart Steak’ But No Access to Trump, People Were ‘Sketchy’ newsvideoclip.com/social-media...

Oh please they do whatever they want.

Really armed resistance is not a significant hurdle? You ought to know better than that George

Exactly. Thats why the Senate must block passage of the big, bad bill.

One of the items in the trump bill is to exclude trump from our courts’ checks and the prohibition of written laws.

Congress is broken - an entire party unwilling to stand up to Trump and an administration who embraces corruption and cruelty

Sadly enough I share your opinion too.

We need a LOT more of that! For example, only Congress can levy taxes. Tfg's tariffs are taxes.

I read that it's 2/3rds of the congress that they would need to do it...

It’s a shame that the budget bill that House Republicans passed allows for the executive branch to ignore courts….

If the "Big, Beautiful Bill" gets passed, the judiciary's dentures will be confiscated! See.....👇 youtu.be/JrpgSR0Y8Ms?...

Even WITH the SCOTUS saying what he can't do, he's gonna do it anyway. He doesn't care

No significant hurdle except the courts, and they are doing better than expected. I wish the Dems could even amount to a speed bump, but no.

---exactly what our would-be Dictator is working for. Let's face it: it's all too abstract and far away (they think) for many Americans. We need art that will do for #RuleOfLaw what "Don't Look Up" did for climate change.

Nope and I thank the universe for the ones who are showing integrity and helping us.

www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

Bury these motherfuckers in paperwork, red tape, and lawsuits. We need some perp walks that are publicly televised. Enough is enough. The pardon of J6 traitors insurrectionists, domestic terrorists is the worst defiamce against us. Resist these assholes.

Frightening thought.

Yes but he is flat out ignoring their rulings. So, what now? How do you hold someone accountable after you’ve given them immunity? He doesn’t give a shit.

This budget bill would harm the courts’ ability to stop them. Everyone pound your senators before it’s too late.

Since not that the courts are always doing that well, it's just that Trump is so far outside of the Constitution...

But he will just keep ignoring the orders unless there are effective penalties for not abiding by judges' orders!!!! Waiting for the SCOTUS to rule won't provide much of a deterrent.

Well, that’s the Republican plan. It’s NOT just a Trump thing. It’s a Republican mission and has been for four or more decades. They’re still mad about Nixon.

...and what will she do when he refuses???

I'm just hoping like hell that they keep holding the line. We're on the brink of chaos over here with years to go unless congress gets off their asses.

At what point does the GOP step up? Are they waiting for him to go full dictator...figuring that they'll stay in power that way? They'd all be dispensible if he had total control. Senate Republicans have a chance to stop him with his 'B Bill'. If they allow the courts to lose power...it's over!!

Why are our leaders not calling for a national strike. We are in crisis.

Yes, but congress is a bunch of sheep.

Sadly it’s true.

OUR representatives in Our Congress Are Supposed to Stand Up! But OUR Representatives decided by a Very Narrow Majority to hand their Constitutional Power Over to Dear Leader to do to We the People ANYTHING HE WANTS TO, like Grab the American Public by the Whatever because he’s a STAR!

The framers may have been old guys but they were smart. Funny how experience works.

...and in the end, it's consistency and duplicateable results that matter the most. 👏😉

Ostensibly yes, but in reality the Supreme Court leans to Trump and federal court orders are temporary events that will likely fail to succeed over time. America is in great peril. Sad to watch from Canada

Sadly, that is very very true.

Trump and his comrades are desperately trying to control, then abolish, the judicial branch of the government. It’s quite obvious.

And that’s why Republicans want to knee cap them in this proposed big beautiful (bollocks) bill

They need to have the courage to gather Us Marshall's, and National Guard who are faithful to their oath to the constitution and start arresting these tyrants. This regime has gone beyond contempt of court. It's time to show they mean business, before we end up in civil war.

I've said it before... Sign a warrant and deputize me. I'll go alone to serve it if need be.

I agree with you. But doing that might be the trigger that starts a Civil War.

It appears to me that's exactly what we are heading for. It's an uncomfortable idea, but it's probably going to happen anyway. Next thing you know, he'll declare martial law over nothing, one of his made up lies. Then people will revolt. This way is the lesser of 2 evils. Better than all out war.

You wouldn't say calling 911 during home invasions might trigger your own death, but that's our reality. They're waging war against the People, an ideological war that has nothing to do with anything but reversing every gain the People have made for themselves. Why would we hesitate to protect US?

It's an odd question since you're not currently arresting tyrants. So you tell me, why are you hesitating?

Miss my Roger.

It's meant to be an odd question. I was frantically submitting tips to the FBI on Jan 6th asking why we were not in some sort of National State of Emergency. My mind was exploding.

What’s stopping them from ignoring the Federal judges? I might be really stupid, but I can’t find the answer to that question. Seems like everything ends up in SCOTUS, and then the administration decides whether or not it’s politically advantageous to comply 🤷‍♂️

And Trump will ignore the court, and it will go to SCOTUS, and SCOTUS will side with Trump because it’s already said he can literally do no wrong. Willkommen in Vierten Reich. Sieg heil.

they'll start arresting these judges for "obstruction" next they have form

Let's make it clear - The court isn't saying he can't dismantle the department. The court is saying there's a right way and wrong way to do that. If he wants it done, he has to go through Congress. The question is, why is he so scared about asking Congress to do what he wants?

They are hanging on by their fingernails. This is a corporate fascist coup and judges are on the front lines of defense against it. But they can’t do it alone. I will not suggest a solution but I will say it’s going to require all of us.

This ruling will immediately be ignored

There is always the option for a 2nd American Revolution. Drag the traitors out of their offices and establish military tribunals to prosecute the entire GOP for their malfeasance and complicity.

That's what we've been saying! - the rest of the world.

⚖️ Thanks to everyone standing up for rights & Justice

Republican congressmen are absolutely useless.

Three co equal branches with specific responsibilities.The Executive branch consistently over reaches and is taken to court.The judicial branch continues to perform its duties,to keep power in check.The legislative branch lets Chump take its power everyday! Do your jobs... Strong MIDTERMS needed!

How long till Frumpy starts to either lock up the judges or gets the senate to remove them?

But will felon & company comply or will they just ignor it. UNTIL THEY START JAILING THOSE WHO FAIL TO COMPLY NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE

YES!

Don’t make him pull out the military! Then nobody in his government will have a job. Judges, legislators, he won’t need them anymore.

Especially since the 3rd co-equal branch is failing their duty to check and balance.

Trump will just run to Roberts and demand he overrule it.

Trump admin regulators launch investigation into Media Matters, adding to pattern www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

MAGA hates education

Someone needs to put a permanent halt on this administration. Maybe some forcibly retired generals have some ideas.

I got bad news for you George there arr no significant hurdles left.

Which stops as soon as the awful budget becomes law. Contempt means nothing if it can’t be enforced

And the house just approved it in the budget bill.

Oralè Resisters Sedition: Failure Comply Fed Court Orders a President and his Cabinet are in Sedition ! The quicker Courts start acknowledging: the quicker he and his fellow violators can Be removed by the military! #Sedition #CourtOrders #CourtRemedies

Amen to that Ruben!

Yes.

The courts are all that stand between freedom and dictatorship.

Thank you Judiciary-the last bulwark against tyranny!

We need to stand with these brave judges who are fighting for our country.

But, enforcement?

We are fortunate that our judges are taking the job of keeping the United States together, in the face of simpleminded billionaire brats intent on destroying it, far more seriously than either our legislators or media.

Except the bogus big bill takes that power away from the courts

And that there are lawyers taking these cases to court, certainly risking Trump's wrath.

Breaking trump administration ignores another court order. Says 'make me'.

But who is going to enforce their rulings?

Today’s judges may be tomorrow’s witnesses for the prosecution.

I wish I could feel so confident about the most important judges, the Supreme Court. Only three of them can be trusted to keep the continuing existence of the nation as a priority in their judgments.

Judges, judge but king donnie ignores

Our shitty media is paid too much. That's why their shitty reporting ignores Trump's crimes.

It’s not the pay. It’s corporate ownership of media companies, dictating what the news will be … telling us what we will know … deciding what we can think.

THIS.

Our fortune hangs by a thread. Reading Takei's statement the other way: nothing is stopping trump regime from totally dismantling our system of government except for the judges.

In our next republic we must strengthen the layers of insulation from autocracy.

But did you know that Biden is old??? Sigh.

And what about Hillary’s e-mails? Obama’s tan suit? Hunter’s laptop? Michelle’s vegetables?

And what about Al Gore flying on a plane? Ilhan Omar’s Muslim family? Kamala Harris drinking beer?

Right! Now, compare all that evidence of criminal activity with Donald Trump’s masterful and completely legal burger flipping at McDonald’s one day. I mean, what could be clearer?

what are we going to do about the new gop bill passing and courts having no power and they are getting rid of elections? and sealing the borders and increasing militarization?

I'm just a retired Canadian Social Studies teacher, but even I know that federal agencies created and funded by Congress can't be defunded or dismantled without congressional approval.

How many of these judges that have stepped into the breach are the ones Biden appointed before he left ? That was such a wise move by him.

Trump memo, issued Jan 21 2025:

Scream at the nazithuglicons. They enable ALL of this.

Until he just ignores them. Republicans won't touch him. He could literally burn the Constitution on live TV, and they would cheer.

The law doesn't matter to Trump. Count the number of Court orders the administration has ignored

Zero - they are still trying, but they haven't actually ignored them... yet.

I don’t see Kilmar Abrego around, so yeah, they’re ignoring them.

I suggest following the court cases for the facts here; www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Will do, thanks, hope that didn’t come off bitchy…lol

I don’t know about you but I am A-OK with bitchy. In point of fact we need a firestorm of bitchy right now. So 🤜🏼💪🏼

Thank God for the federal judiciary. Stand firm, judges. Freedom loving people are with you.

But he doesn't comply with those judicial decisions. How do you enforce them? 🤔

It will be interesting to see if the judges deputise any Marshalls to enforce their rulings. It would very likely kick off a civil war.

Good, America has enough dum as fuks

It is so shocking to see how disconnected so many people are from the reality of what’s happening.

Faux News just repeats the lies he and his minions spew. People don’t know it’s all lies bc the facts never come up in their media at all.

Which is exactly why the horrific bill just passed in the House, with all the cuts, also includes a few sentences that would render our laws, judges & courts useless- giving Trump all the power. The Republicans who voted for this & Trump are all treasonous.

The point is to intimidate students who are not US citizens. It’s a win-win for him.

Spoiler alert,.. It's ALREADY facing no significant hurdle.

You're right and I admit I'm more than a little nervous.

But what do we do when the Extra White House ignores the courts? Where are the consequences?

They're trying to take care of the federal court judge issue, by doing this apnews.com/article/gop-...

The courts have the final say on any legislation & Republicans are p****** in the wind with this. It's all an act to please 34-felon.

I trust her judgement as a judge, as I would trust a real educator to run the Dept of Ed. There are so many moving parts in education in order to educate and provide services for ALL students.

It’d be really great if congress could grow a pair too.

Kinda sad. Doesn’t say much of the house and senate majorities

yes, Yes, YES!! We are all resisting in our small & big ways!

Which is why the Big Bastard Bill tries to neuter the Judiciary.

. "Republicans slipped a provision into their big spending bill that would limit the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt, potentially allowing Trump and his administration to violate court orders without consequence." Peter Baker‬ ‪@peterbakernyt.bsky.social‬

Thank heavens

That is only if they start acting like judges and stop prolonging the harm

But... who's going to enforce?

Federal Judges are the last defence for democracy at a government level.

The question is: Are they obeying the orders? If not, what the judges can do to enforce their orders? Jail time?

The judges are definitely the heroes in this round. The people need to make sure they show up to every election from here out to back them up, because the GOP is trying to take the power from them. apnews.com/article/gop-...

There is so much crap in the bill I posted a link to a different limit on judicial power. Here's the one I meant to post about, taking away a judges right to hold someone contempt in court. www.fox2detroit.com/news/legal-s...

MAGA is a Terrorist Organization , ICE is a Secret Police Force Conducting Ethnic Cleansing , Elon Musk is an Oligarch the US has many , Trump is a Foreign Backed COUP Figurehead "Useful Idiot" .. This is not an Administration , This is a Regime , And the USA is "Occupied" ..

Just another day proving Chuck Schumer was right.

With federal judges we ARE facing dismantling of ALL institutions being replaced by a fascist takeover. Stop suggesting there’s an institutional solution, start realizing a right-wing revolution is afoot. Prepare for defending your communities. Period. Read this: open.substack.com/pub/anthonyh...

Well, given cases will eventually work their way to the GOP Supreme Court, it’s not really a lasting hurdle.

🤨🤔😟We'll see. So far they are not following court orders. And SCOTUS is on his side.

Court ruling are ok, IF they obey them. If they don't then they need to be held in contempt and jailed until the orders are obeyed. Federal courts can use US Marshalls for enforcement.

I would argue that these hurdles have not been significant. Seriously, have they obeyed any of the courts orders?? I can’t think of any, and who will hold this administration accountable, the DOJ???😂

I just wonder how long it will be before the judge is arrested in her own courtroom?

Already happened with Dugan.

Yes...that is what prompted my comment. It feels so surreal.

If the Courts fail us, US does not stand a chance. SCOTUS is worthless unless we arm the 4 Libs.

Hold the line, your honors. ✊

I’m appreciating our Founding Fathers more & more every day.

Men of vision

💙💙💙🇺🇸

Thank the gods our former WONDERFUL president knew to appoint as many judges as he possibly could before the cancerous Malignant Dictator took over.

Now if they would actually hold them accountable for their decisions and start putting people in jail for not following their rulings.

Since he's ignoring the courts I'm not sure it's facing a significant hurdle now!

Why is your president allowed to think he can do what he wants? No head of state in any democracy has the power of the president of the USA. You may wish to rethink that.

Outstanding!

The judge may as well "order" a planarian…

🎯🎯🎯

Which says a lot about a lot. The military is supposed to serve the constitution, not an individual. Law enforcement, the Democrats, and wider civic society are all failing to do their bit to uphold the rule of law, ordinary people film abductions, imagine all this happening in France? Not a hope

Now it's time for cnogress to step up

The new budget bill is working to strip judges of their power... Just an FYI 🤷‍♂️

That is why when Joe Biden was the lame-duck president, he secured hiring so many judges so that Trump would not totally destroy the law in the country

This is bad, then www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

Oh don't worry, the Republicans put a provision in the tax bill to eliminate injunctions because they're traitorous monarchists that our founding fathers would tar and feather if they were around today.

Wokest; You know the courts have the final say on any legislation & Republicans are p****** in the wind, right?

As long as we sue to overturn it if this passes the Senate. Judicial review only happens when the law is challenged as unconstitutional.

Any court case that comes up (there are 200+ already in process) will be able to challenge it. It's not going to be long nor is it going to be hidden. Not only that, 2026 is next year and Republicans are in very hot water. We're talking another 34-felon impeachment with removal this time, imho.

*Imagines a necromancy spell that will bring our founding fathers back to life*

Massive credit also goes to those lawyers that file the lawsuits and obtain these rulings. It is possible to support much of the work be becoming a member of the #ACLU

Except Dept of Ed had already been disbanded, gutted, employees let go, doors locked.Our Judges & Courts MUST act more quickly against Tramp's EOs and DOGE.Perhaps they're learning since the Harvard decision came out today. Maybe designate certain judges to be available to deal with Tramp ASAP.

It's not much of a hurdle when the administration just runs around & ignores them.

On the one hand, as Rs have both houses of Congress, they could simply auhorize this. They won't, because that would both put them on the record. More importantly, it would validate judicial power. So, the administration will simply ignore the order and no one will do anything about it.

Senate has to Kill Bill vol. 4

We The People, we are The Ones who Must protect our GOOD judges.

But will Trump pay any more attention to this federal judge than he has to the Supreme Court?

The supreme court already ruled that the sitting president can't be charged with any crimes. There's no reason for the current administration to listen to any court orders

Now, get Congress to do their jobs!

Right Mr. Takei. And the enemy GOP has figured this out. That’s why they are right now trying to strip the judges of enforcement power to “spare federal government officials any legal consequences for even deliberate, continuing and belligerent defiance of court orders” Walter Olson, CATO institute

Great. So now we have to defeat the new budget bill because it has clauses that wipe out the power of the judiciary to enforce rulings against Trump and his cronies.

Without women helping activists outside in reality where bigbro sends gestapopo & dogs over the last 40 years would have been outnumbered even worse That minister in the white pants wanted to punch me. They'd scream blood of unborn & throw red paint on us Time for men to stand up OUTSIDE IN REALITY

Is this real?? ❤️❤️❤️

If we do not have justice, injustice is unchecked. We need everyone on board against tyranny.

So true! This is one of the reasons dumpy is attacking Harvard. Beside the fact that none of his spawn are smart enough to go there, no matter how much money they have!😆Jealousy is a powerful motivator for the boy king.

I think they’ve included that in “the big beautiful bill”.

Yes, but has anyone come home from El Salvador, despite the SCOTUS saying govt must return one deportee. Nobody cares? We Need a Strike. Protest the lawlessness of our government. Everyone out of work and kids out of classes & have talks about what the constitution actually does say. SAVE THE USA!!

Yes, but then there's the criminals on the Supreme Court.

And if Congress also did its duty…….

I'm sure ICE will arrest her soon enough.

We need to take responsibility for abandoning the people of the south AND for allowing them mainline nonstop propaganda and misinformation from “Fox News”! Watch this, there are some good ideas to defend democracy! 😀👍 youtu.be/Mpm4z8cH2_0?...

Without either one of the two branches of government to keep the executive power in check the slow dismantling of your republic is all but guaranteed. #LongLiveTheUSRepublic

I don’t know why there’s a congress anymore. They’ve ceded all of their power to the executive and judiciary.

Question: when they get hired back, do they get all the back pay? I mean if this takes weeks months etc - are these people now into debt because they weren't paid?

Very likely they will get the back pay. So it is costing the government even more in the must attempt to save $$

Which is what one hidden provision of the Frankenstein bill just passed WILL DO.

GOP SCOTUS: TAKE NOTE

That’s why, buried deep in the Big beautiful bill are provisions to gut federal judges authority. Trump would be able to stop elections entirely as well.

👍👍👍

With that spineless Congress? I’d be surprised if they break from their fearless dictator.

trump is impotent, once again

Who is going to hold the administration accountable for breaking court orders? They have already given the middle finger to SCOTUS. They know DOJ won't prosecute, so why would they stop?

Exactly! Democrats shaking their fingers and saying "naughty, naughty" just doesn't seem to be slowing them down any. 🤔

If judicial orders are not enforced they have no meaning. ⚖️

Hence the consitution

They don't have many significant hurdles now

It would be a quick domino implosion into dictatorship!

The judges are kind of toothless.

He'll just quit funding

Yes! Keep it up!

www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

With federal judges, they still face little limits. Where is the enforcement?

Next steps are predictable: ignore the ruling and fire the judge.

They won't do it and no one will make them, sadly. Really, we need one of these judges whose orders are being ignored to put someone in jail. Break the ice!

Sadly, because they bend to and are in full agreement with Dictator Asset Krasnov, they will vote to dismantle the Department of Education.

Talk about a thin blue line.

Someday, America might even get a Congress, which in the Constitution is the body that prevents all this bullshit.

Everything is going to go to the Supreme Court. AND the big shit bill the House passed ➡️ Provision would prohibit courts from enforcing court citations for violations of injunctions temporary restraining orders. Unless the plaintiff pays a bond. ⬅️ Usually this is used to rein in Presidents.

The senate must not pass that bill.

Yeah? Tell the Roberts Court. They created a monster.

Brace yourself…cause the “big ugly bill” has a provision that will cripple the courts’ ability to do this stuff

i think trump has less regard for the rule of law,he and his cohort should be disposed.

But the highest court in the land helped pave the way.

The issue remains, though, that there is not entity capable of enforcing any such decision agains the regime. You’re sort of past the whole law-based society by now. The courts can only be used against the people, not for against the tyrant. I suppose that’s sort of the point of despotism.

I'm surprised they didn't decide to forgo the injunction until all appeals are exhausted like they did with Voice of America.

When the courts become the ruling party, you have completely and utterly failed your duty as president.

Without non-MAGA judges, the dismantling of our country would face NO significant hurdle.

Glory to God. Amen

@georgetakei.bsky.social Help spread the word: The newly passed House bill now in the Senate includes a provision restricting the Court's ability to enforce its orders! www.thedailybeast.com/hidden-threa...

Stop this bill if we want to be the America without any kings.

It does more than that. I prevents the courts from enforcing contempt and effectively nueters congress.

That's why the courts better start having their US Marshall's and National Guard that they trust go and arrest these people. This whole regime needs to be thrown in prison. All of them.

That's why the SC needs to reverse their presidential immunity ruling. They'll see that Trump will turn on them, have them arrested/attacked when they try to rein him in.

That's why that orange maggot thinks he can do whatever he wants and IS doing whatever he wants. I'm so mad that this villian is still in office that I could spit fire.

I'm mad the Reps have noooooo spine to stand up against him. MAGA is not ½ of the country, just about 30%. Reps need to amp up their security, start voting what's best for their constituents and ignore Trumps attacks. The base will eventually fall in line when they see Trump is just a name-caller.

I'm more mad at the GOP, trump, his cabinet, and our justice system. They're complicit all of them. They're the cause of all this. If more people screamed and yelled and got in the face of the Republicans then maybe they'd grow a spine. It's their fault, they're allowing all this to happen.

For sure!! They royally screwed themselves and us by giving that criminal immunity.

I think they STILL believe, "Trump won't turn on us....nooooo." 🙄

That my friend, means that they have trump derangement syndrome. Truly, they're the ones who are deranged for believing in that man. It's as if their parents did teach them right from wrong.

Didn't teach them, not did. Oy vey 🤦‍♀️

Passing laws banning courts from enforcing their orders is undemocratic and unAmerican.

Alas, neither undemocratic nor unAmerican seem to matter to Trump, his henchmen, or the majorities in the House and Senate these days.

Sad, but definitely true.

Arm

So you're saying it's EXACTLY as it is now seeing as how not a single one of these useless, spineless, pathetic judges has enforced a single one of it's rulings that Trump has violated? With or without this bill, Trump will continue to do as he pleases as everyone hides in fear for some reason...

The courts are stopping some of Trump’s corruption and destruction. Thank you Federal Judges.

💯

We need our federal government to stand strong!!

Hope the regime doesn’t ignore this court order.

And that’s what scares me about the Big Ass Bill. It gives the legislative branch nullifying the judicial branch. Legislative branch Nullifies judicial branch Dictatorship rules If the legislative branch can nullify the judicial branch

And his idiots in Congress don't understand that with this Donald won't need them anymore. He will just throw them out at the first opportunity.

True! Once he becomes the dictator everyone else doesn’t matter.

Congress has given it's powers away But SCOTUS ruled in 1981 that Congress cannot give its powers and responsibilities established by the Constitution away There is a small majority in both Senate and House Those who love America need to come to gather and end this lawless behavior Right now

With all due respect (and I am a lifelong fan on EVERY front): It is quaint that you think "The Courts" (and that includes SCOTUS) will stop him form doing ANYTHING. Is Garcia back? I seem to remember SCOTUS and other lesser courts ordering him back? (Sorry not sorry... Will you even see this?)

And this is why drumpf is wanting to fire all the judges, because he wants to break the laws of the land, because he thinks he can get away with it...

👍👍
