    The most high-profile case of ignoring the judges has been the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, where the ruling came when he was already en route. The courts have also said the administration had to take all reasonable actions to facilitate his return, or words to that effect, which they’ve surely not done.

    Aside from that, in what other instances have they successfully ignored court rulings? I’m sure there have been a few, but not many.

    In regards to this particular thread, a pardon of state crimes doesn’t mean anything because no one would listen to it. States run themselves when it comes to criminal justice. Short of marching the military in and causing an actual civil war, there’s no method for enforcing that.

    It’s important not to doom. Despair is the enemy. Stay positive but stay vigilant.

      It’s not “doom” it’s being honest and real about our current situation.

      People need to realize what is happening to their country, and as of right now, my experience in the real world has been that most people have no fucking clue. Like, to a startling degree.

      Pretending everything is ok just keeps them out of the loop longer while these people literally destroy our country from the inside.

      Maybe if people/the media were reacting appropriately to what has been happening, people would actually be aware. And “staying positive!” is not an appropriate reaction to what is happening.
