   Someone remind me what is the argument against holding the White House in criminal contempt at this point? I keep reading headlines like "Will Trump Create a Constitutional Crisis?" He already has, many times over.

   There is little indication this administration is doing anything to comply w/ multiple court orders, and it is thumbing its nose at the rulings. The POTUS is going to force the issue sooner or later. But later does not really seem like an appropriate response from the judiciary and does nobody any favors.

     @algaeman @briankrebs yes they do, they absolutely do have power. If they didn't have power they wouldn't be a co-equal branch of government. They can literally deputize a National Guard unit or anyone else that is not under the control of the Executive branch if they want and have them go arrest the President

     @briankrebs The judiciary has no power to discipline the executive branch. Are they going to send a bailiff over to arrest the president for contempt of court?
