Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Really? Clearly they can ignore your orders and have been ignoring them and will continue ignoring them. What are you gonna do about it? Cry louder?
Honestly I’m really interested to see what judge is finally going to be pushed to the point that they deputize people to go make sure it happens. I think nobody wants to go there because they’re afraid of what will happen, but I’m more afraid of what will happen if we continually allow courts to be optional for this regime.
There's a video of ICE arresting a cop. Would be interesting to see a cop arresting ICE.
There have been a few of those, but it's always for DWI or similar when they aren't protected by their gaggle of goons.
Until they start sending out US Marshals and other judicial officers to arrest offenders and charging them for contempt... it kind of is just advisory.
Right, so the courts have their own "enforcers" US Marshals? And don't rely on cops to arrest those breaking judge orders?
That would make sense, to have their own officers, independent of other agencies they might be prosecuting.
Yes and no. The US Marshals are law enforcement for he Federal Courts. However they are not a part of the judicial branch. They are still part of the executive branch and answer to the DOJ.
So... literally the "where does power lie" question from Game of Thrones. When you are meant to enforce the Court's orders but you're also meant to follow the DOJ's orders, which orders do you follow when they conflict?
