Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.

Yet more evidence that it doesn't actually matter in the eyes of the Trump administration what the law says, or what a judge says, if there is nothing behind it to physically make them follow it or face actual consequences.

Whether they are appealing or not, this sounds like the administration is breaking the law. The ruling to allow AP doesn't stop taking effect if an appeal is in process.

The Trump Administration keeps abusing that. They appeal something, and just do whatever they want until the appeal is processed.

Petty little man. So what good is a court if nothing is ever enforced?

[–] drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 month ago

Its not. This is the breakdown of social agreements that have been long standing. Unless something is done to enforce these orders, we've effectively lost the rule of law, and things will get bad fast.

Jesus. What happened to the first 3?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Corrupted, defanged, and ignored.

Is that the one in the safe under the bed?

"Despite court order..." is becoming the ubiquitous intro to news about the Trump administration.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

What are the consequences?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Plenty of presidents have defied court orders. The type of order matters greatly. Defying injunctions is only contempt of court. This was a ruling, as was the return of Garcia. These are defining of a constitutional crisis.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup, America officially becomes fascist. The executive simply doesn't respect the judicial branch anymore.

Mark my words, Trump will not let go gently come 2029.

[–] GreatBlueHeron@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mark my words, Trump will not let go gently come 2029.

That's the most depressing thing I've read for a long time. Even in the best case scenario we're stuck with this bullshit until twenty twenty fucking nine!!

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

eh idk, maybe we'll get a military coup and a new constitutional convention. We've been overdue for one since the last civil war

i know they wouldn't be getting a conviction, but the dems seriously have to be bringing up impeachment if they want any political future for themselves, and they need to be doing it frequently

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was already impeached twice. So far it hasn’t seemed to to stop him.

Please, just let the Dems die off and become the neoliberal republicans they’ve always aspired to be.

We need a new party that is actually left of center to even begin repairing this level of damage to the republic.

Dems. Ain’t. It. Too old, too corrupt, and F tier political messaging.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world -3 points 1 month ago

And then what is next for political geniuses thinking bigley like this?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 month ago

so we're clear i don't give a fuck about the dems. i give a fuck about community survival

[–] femtech@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Naww, they can assimilate into the GOP slip, we can make the Dem party our own.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

That requires an understanding of institutions as human-constructed entities that, in turn, require human influence and molding because they are not self-regulating systems and cannot be merely competed out of the ecosystem as if you were voting with your dollar as if they were merely brands that you, the consumer, get to leisurely signal you reject or align/identify with.

Wasn't this guy impeached last time he was in office? The American people have spoken and we have chosen a dipshit to run the country because most people who voted for him believed that he would hurt the people who are taking advantage of them.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't undersell it. This convicted felon was impeached twice and found liable for rape before we elected him again!

USA! USA! US- Hey! I'm a citizen, you can't deport me!!!

[–] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Don't make the mistake of thinking you can't be deported just because you're a citizen. Deport first, due process later.

Most of family didn't make it through the last Nazi regime—I hold no beliefs that I'm special enough to survive this one.

Impeachment is a circus act now. I'd rather they spent thier energy actually doing something useful.

The thing.

The thing we're all thinking of but can't say because truly free speech doesn't exist.

[–] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Sorry, best they can do is wait til the 19th and wave some signs at them.

[–] Charlatan@lemm.ee 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe take some police and the court order / decision to the event and force your way in. Then, hold the highest ranking host of the event who is NOT Trump, in contempt and throw them in a shitty jail for a week.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Great start, will never happen. Parliamentarian said no-go.

And for the fifth time this month, we stress test democracy!

[–] brightandshinyobject@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

If there is no push back, I'd say it's broken and we're not testing anymore.
