U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth of the District of Columbia gave the administration until Aug. 13 to explain how it will get VOA working again. The outlet that dates back to World War II has been largely dark since March.
Lamberth said the administration needs to show what it is doing with the $260 million Congress appropriated for VOA’s operations this year.
Because they will face literally zero consequences for not following judicial orders.
Alexander Hamilton: “So, what happens if the executive branch just doesn’t follow the law?”
James Madison: “I can’t imagine that happening, but if it does, then the experiment is over and we’re all fucked.”
It is becoming more and more apparent to me that the founding fathers didn’t envision a society where duels didn’t exist to act as a brake on this sort of behavior.
How about we start arresting the executive branch?
Who would be doing the arresting?
Don’t judges have US marshalls?
Start arresting people.
Apply consequences.
Start arresting people
Or what?
I’m old enough to remember when people were freaking out over Voice Of America because they hadn’t heard of it before and they thought that Trump had created it to be his Ministry of Truth.
