I will not rest until someone (or something) drives a wooden stake through Stephen Noseferatu Miller's heart as he sleeps in his coffin during the day.
He is the source of these Executive Orders and he is the motivating force behind this deportation craziness.
His Executive Orders are a villain gloating in advance about what he will be doing to the hero while the hero is tied to a chair. Ready the sharks with laser beams!
He's doing what he said he'd do. It's our fault for not believing him. Or, more specifically, it's the low-information-independents-who-really-didn't-want-to-vote-for-the-black-lady-democrat's fault. With a smattering of people who stayed home because of Gaza and achieved exactly the opposite of what they stayed home for.
i mean, i get they arrested that judge cos she was a woman and they are trying to make a point about how they are bullies and lawless shit heads and all, but i'm also wondering if they did it cos they fucked up and they know they fucked up so they're scapegoating - i'd be surprised if any judge rules against her to be honest because that is declaring open season on themselves, and that's not a very smart thing to do
"the president issues an executive order contemplating sending in the military to “prevent crime” in cities"
* The Fulvous Fuckwad is under the (vastly mistaken) impression that he is omnipotent, and that his EOs are the same as congressionally passed legislation. He seems to think that the US is a kingdom, that 20 Jan was a coronation, and that he received a mandate (yeah, sure... mandate) to rule by imperial edicts.
* Expect Mooseballs Mussolini to declare another "emergency" due to rampant violent crimes so he can rip up Posse Comitatus. He'll send in "his" soldiers to restore law and order by shooting vandals, shoplifters, and protesters on sight. (And anyone he deems an enemy of the people -- meaning anyone who stands in his way to unbridled power.)

“That’s a hypothetical question, again I defer you (sic) to the Department of Justice for individuals that they are looking at or individual cases. But let’s be clear about what this judge did: She obstructed federal law enforcement who were looking for an illegal alien in her courthouse"
* AG Pam "Birkenau Barbie" Bondi has already gone on record as saying she'll persecute... sorry... prosecute any judge who blocks the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus' legal actions -- even if they aren't legal but extralegal or illegal.
* Leavitt, who got her job by getting her knees dirty, made at least one thing perfectly clear: this regime thinks it has the authority to play judge, jury, and executioner, and that habeas corpus is *not* a right for those living within the US borders or any of its territories.

"Just a little bit of martial law, and fewer checks on police officers who violate the Constitution and kill people."
What we have here is the Mango Malignancy making life easier for the "Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Assoc" whose members believe that a county sheriff or a police chief have rights to ignore the Constitution, federal, and state laws. (Sidebar: outside of the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster and his cohorts, the *only* individual who stated that there was another assassination attempt targeting the MAGA oberster Führer in one of his rallies, this time in Coachella, was the sheriff of Riverside County, and he is a proud member of the CSPOA.)

"He declares that “sanctuary” jurisdictions are doing a “lawless insurrection” and also RICO."
* What sanctuary cities, counties, and a state or two are doing is protecting the undocumented from excessive abuse at the hands of the federal government.
* These jurisdictions are committing a “lawless insurrection” as opposed to J6 and the Desert Sand Demi-Demon's perfectly legal autogolpe.
* While I know that projection is one of the Asshole-in-Chief's superpowers, the RICO claim is ludicrous to the extreme. $2 billion to Jared certainly smacks of some sort of payoff; Ivanka was issued 41 trademarks by the PRC by mid-2019; the Capo di Tutti Capi was convicted on 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree; the ongoing attempts of extortion in Ukraine -- first with a demand for Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and most recently repeatedly trying to gain control of 50% of Ukraine's mineral rights for the expert in the art of the steal in exchange for no guarantee of American support; his $5 million Trump Gold Card that lets the rich from other countries to jump the line of US citizenship.... IOW, corruption is the Pumpkin Pestilence's stock in trade.

"Judges who do things like refuse to let ICE arrest people in their courtroom without a judicial warrant, and make them go arrest people in the hall instead?"
Or school boards that won't allow ICE on their campuses to arrest children? Next up will be religious leaders who refuse to let ICE agents enter a place of worship and haul out parishioners.
The New Yorker has a piece about our slide into authoritarianism, focusing on how hard and slobbery GOP Members of Congress and Senators are polishing Trump's knob, and mentioning also the attacks on the judiciary. Trump said he'd be "Dictator on Day One," kinda like it was going to be a temporary thing, but dictatorships are not temporary: they're around until toppled. I still think most Americans would not actually vote for "end democracy in America" if it were presented that way, but that could well be what we are getting. I am reminded of the Marxist dictum that quantitative changes eventually become qualitative. There comes a point where we are not just a little more of a right-wing country than yesterday, we're a Fascist country.
Man, it would be a real shame if law firms instead of giving Trump their hours in good faith, sent some Trump quality lawyers to go practice bird law Charlie Day style ( That’s Charlie work)
I'm just wondering how long until the administration gets tired of writing executive orders which a court can read and readily throw out and return to the same defense they use for all the times Trump mishandled classified documents: "The President doesn't have to actually say anything, he just has to have thought it, and it is right."
I previously had "April 10th" penciled in for the first arrest of a judge. All part of the historical playbook, folks.
Leavitt didn't even use the word "alleged," which should scare the shit out of everybody.

Ta, Marcie. I just can't even with this maladministration.

Doocy and Leavitt know what Fox viewers want to hear: "Hell yeah we will!" But she has to leave some wiggle room. That's all that's going on here.
Wiggle room? Nope, just laying the groundwork.

Anyone who does not bend the knee to his Bigly Royal Majestic Presence, will be punished. And the GOP will stand back and let him do it.

I think you meant to write "And Thomas". 👌
“That’s a hypothetical question" is such an easy way to avoid answering a question.

Or better yet, just fucking up those arguments so badly that he loses them all "bigly".
I'm just wondering how long until the administration gets tired of writing executive orders which a court can read and readily throw out and return to the same defense they use for all the times Trump mishandled classified documents: "The President doesn't have to actually say anything, he just has to have thought it, and it is right."
That brain is where thoughts go to die.
Thoughts not in evidence.
As many truck drivers have already pointed out on social media, one has to be able to pass a test in English to get a CDL in order to drive a truck.
So performative nonsense as per usual.
