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.
Yeah “resisting court orders” isn’t a thing that exists in reality.
EDIT: Because it’s called being IN CONTEMPT. 🙄
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.
ah, but how many dictatorships have you lived in so far?
First time for me too.
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.
Resisting or breaking the law?
