What Can They Do?

Some judges are ignoring opinions by the Supreme Court. So, what can they do? Cut off their paycheck? Write them a nasty letter? Kidnap their dog? Send an enforcer to threaten mayhem? From what I've seen, the nasty letter is about all they do. I'd rather they send an enforcer.  

Kicking The Can Down The Road

The Supreme Court decision on injunctions appears to be an effort to avoid controversy, doesn't really solve anything, states a non-binding opinion, and will only lead to wallowing in the quagmire of our legal system. If they feel they handled the problem, they're wrong, and without an adult in the room, the children will continue their rambunctious behavior, until they light the curtains on fire. 

Now We'll See if She Will Have Charges Dismissed

 Hannah Dugan made headlines when she hampered the arrest of an illegal alien. She is now under indictment, and has filed a motion of having her charges dismissed. I doubt the court will allow that, and the legal rigamarole starts. Next, they'll try for a change in venue, while digging for dirt on the court with jurisdiction. There will be numerous announcement hearings, where they'll try to avoid a plea for a long time. If I had to guess, if she ever makes it to the point she has to plea, it will be well over a year from now. 

Current Supreme Court Order

I read the current order by the Supreme Court in answer to detainees fighting being removed by Trump. 

 A.A.R.P., ET AL. V. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF U.S., ET AL.  There is before the Court an application on behalf of a putative class of detainees seeking an injunction against their removal under the Alien Enemies Act. The matter is currently pending before the Fifth Circuit. Upon action by the Fifth Circuit, the Solicitor General is invited to file a response to the application before this Court as soon as possible.  The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court. See 28 U. S. C. §1651(a). Justice Thomas and Justice Alito dissent from the Court’s order. Statement from Justice Alito to follow. 

It doesn't demand a release, or confer with the judgement of the lower court. It does state the matter is currently pending in the Fifth Circuit Court, and pending that decision, will address the matter in the future if necessary. What happens in the future will be determined by the action of the Fifth Circuit.

Add: Judge Alito isn't pleased with the backdoor method of allowing an injunction filed without due process, and ignoring procedure. My guess is DEI/EEO....whatever it's called these days is at work. Some of the justices tasks are so far over their head, they have to reach up to dust the baseboards. Others were bitten by a Marxist and are suffering accordingly.
