Intriguing
He’s already defied court orders. The rubicon has been crossed
Every time someone says this I can only only think of that tasty sugary drink.
Lol it’s a good shower thought. It’s not going to happen though.
Trump deserves to get hammered over hard for the nonesense he’s pulling.
I prefer a Writ of Outlawry instead.
These plans only work against targets that obey the rule of law.
The whole point of the plan, if you were to read the article, is to deal with an administration not obeying the rule of law.
I don’t think you get what I meant, there’s no way to punish or school this administration because they are trying to be autocrats. The courts don’t matter because they have no way of enforcing their rulings without the DOJ (department of justice) which Trump has captured.
And this guys proposal isn’t to punish the administration. It’s to make the administration ineffectual by having judges ignore cases brought forward by the administration until the administration complies with other court orders.
For instance. Trump tries to fire a guy. Guy says “no you don’t have the authority.” Trump says “yes I do. I’ll go to the courts and get them to prove you wrong.” Courts go “don’t care. You’re ignoring [some other court order against trump]. We wont hear this case until you comply with the previous order.” The result would be that the guy keeps his job despite whether or not Trump can or can’t fire him. At least that’s this guy’s idea to my understanding.
I’m also not trying to say it would be effective or even remotely doable. Just pointing out that criticizing the plan for something it’s not attempting to do doesn’t make any sense.
What I am trying to explain to you is that he doesn’t care what happens in court, he’s an autocrat he’ll do it anyway.
He can’t just “do it anyway” if people refuse to comply with his orders and the courts refuse to back him up. What do you think Trump is going to do? Walk over to somebody’s desk, pick them up out of their chair, and physically throw them out the building himself?
Before I read this, I thought maybe the proposal would be to stop hearing cases—period. General strike of the judiciary. Shut down all criminal and civil hearings in protest of the government ignoring its orders.
It’s still fantasy, but it would be way more effective.
‘Rogue activist judges’ was a rallying call for this faction. This is a faction that hates unions and strikes and loves scabs and loves privatization to bypass restrictions applied for the public good.
It’d be a tactic, for sure, but probably not an effective one without such an interpretation being shared by SCOTUS. Which is comically not the case.
this is a great idea!
Pie in the sky speculation that ain’t gonna happen.
