Let me help the AP: trump admin still in contempt of court for selling legal resident to torture prison
Constitutional Crisis deepens as rogue US president continues openly defying SCOTUS over concentration camp exiles
Edit: nope, too wordy, at least the facts are there though. Our media needs to start being waaaay less timid with their language.
Democrats and legal scholars say President Donald Trump is provoking a constitutional crisis in part by ignoring court rulings, while the White House has said it’s the judges who are the problem.
It’s not up to AP to determine if there is a Constitutional crisis or not. They need to report what has been said and done.
They can say ‘Constitutional crisis’ in quotes then. Like the media loves to do frequently anyway. Also, AP is perfectly within their rights to accurately describe the situation we find ourselves in.
Within their rights, but they like to meet standards.
The AP is fine here. They’re not in contempt until Xinis holds them in contempt. If the AP wrote “in contempt,” someone who trusts them for factual reporting would think the judge had ruled on it.
If I wanted to read the bullshit take, there are plenty of places for that.

Yeah “resisting court orders” isn’t a thing that exists in reality.
EDIT: Because it’s called being IN CONTEMPT. 🙄
Ahhh. That’s today isn’t it?
Does the Judge use her appointed power to make arrests? Does she grant the stay and get it off her plate?
What will happen? Next time on Dragon Ball Barf
1…2…2 and a half…2 and three quarters…
Court orders can be either followed or appealed, but in the entire history of me reading the news, I don’t remember ever seeing a headline about someone “resisting” court orders.
It’s happened before

The Supreme Court, under Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that Georgia had no right to enforce laws within Cherokee territory because Native American tribes were sovereign nations. The ruling was a major victory for the Cherokee, affirming their legal right to remain on their land.
Jackson’s Response
Instead of enforcing the ruling, Jackson allegedly responded: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” (Though there’s debate about whether he actually said this.) Jackson sided with Georgia’s state government, which ignored the Supreme Court ruling and continued its efforts to remove the Cherokee people.
…
Congress viewed Jackson’s decision as a matter of executive discretion. Jackson was popular and nothing happened to him for defying the supreme court. This exposed the inability of the Supreme Court to force a president to comply, if they didn’t also have the support of Congress.
Good stuff, thanks.
ah, but how many dictatorships have you lived in so far?
First time for me too.
Resisting or breaking the law?
