   The concepts of “what's legal” and what's not are irrelevant until someone figures out a way to punch these criminals hard enough to make them cower.

   It ain't gonna be the courts.

   If it’s not evident by now, they don't give a damn about what the courts say.

   Old rules don't matter.

     @Meznor I think they're avoiding it because they already know the answer but don't want to say it

     @WarnerCrocker on all the legal podcasts I'm listening to, really smart people who know American laws, all of them are avoiding the question, "what if the Trump admin does not follow court orders?"

     We're about to find out, I guess..

     @Meznor As designed the enforcement mechanism rests with the Executive branch, so yeah.

     @WarnerCrocker what is the answer? 😬 What groups are supposed to enforce federal court orders in the U.S. system? Is it the same branch that is defying court orders??

     @Meznor @isagalaev I would say some are. Some are not. I can not explain the latter.

     @isagalaev @WarnerCrocker this is what I'm thinking too. The last stage of resistance will necessarily be physical/forceful. I don't know what to expect either, but the U.S. has a history of successful protest movements (violent and nonviolent), and I can only hope they're up for a difficult fight.

     @Meznor @WarnerCrocker people coming out in force to the streets and staying there. It's anathema to all the liberals, but it's the only thing left to us. I don't know how that would look in a country like USA though…
