So, did we cross the Constitutional Crisis Rubicon when Trump ignored the judicial order?
The answer is of course yes, but I don't think it's really from a line that we crossed. It's more like saturation. They are not a vanguard of this lawlessness, they are more like a pressure that is infusing it into all systems all at once. They are a swarm.
Yeah... the floodwaters have surged and it's sort of rushing over lawfulness with abandon. I really like this analogy - thanks.
Fun fact, it’s not illegal to refuse an illegal order from the president, but it IS illegal to refuse any judicial order even if it’s ultimately deemed illegal.
Not that the law matters anymore, of course.
Yea. Amy order from a judge is deemed to be legal.
On the other hand, in extreme cases, I'd hope they ignore the judges order to massacre the village.
