Summary
Federal courts continue to thwart the Trump administration’s sweeping attempts to shrink government programs and staff, with judges repeatedly accusing officials of ignoring or delaying orders.
Recent rulings:
- Halted OPM’s firing of probationary (new) employees, holding OPM had “no authority” to dictate hiring and firing decisions at other agencies.
- Blocked a blanket freeze on foreign aid, but SCOTUS granted a stay.
- Found attempts to suspend refugee admissions exceeded presidential authority.
- Restricted immigration enforcement at religious locations
- Limited federal access by DOGE for Education, OPM, Treasury, and Labor Department records.
- Enjoined a proposed federal funding freeze.
- Upheld injunctions against Trump’s birthright citizenship order in two appeals courts for likelihood of 14th Amendment violations.
When people disobey courts and you want them to stop commiting crimes you have to put them in a cell and physically restrict them from committing crimes.
Hope this helps US Justice System 🙏
The problem here is… Who puts them in a cell. It is the Executive Branch that enforces those decisions.
But here it’s the executive branch ignoring those decisions. So the system is designed for the Legislative branch to remove the overreaching executive leadership. Except they (as a general group majority) want this to happen, so they won’t do shit.
Theoretically, this is what they’ve always claimed the 2nd amendment is for. But those dipshits are asleep at the wheel because they’ve been fed propaganda their entire lives and believe everything is backwards from reality.
To be fair, someone did use their second amendment to try to take this guy out.
The Internet/people really muddied the waters on what that was at the end.
Until the administration feels PAINFUL consequences it will continue. Seriously, they’re like children who just keep doing things they know are wrong hoping their parents will just get tired of saying no and give up - no punishment = why stop? Only upside to continue to push.
GEE who could have foreseen this??
Okay judges, you’ve made your decisions. Now enforce them.
If “sidestepping” court rulings is defined as blatantly ignoring while simultaneously trying to quickly overturn by pleading to the(ir) SCROTUS…
Then, yeah. Sidestepping.
🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🖕

I know how it worked for a certain European country in the late 30’s and early 40’s.
And I know how it turned out for their neighbours.
