    I’m not sure if you’ve been paying attention, but federal courts have been stopping him left and right. The most common situation has been Trump signs an EO or takes other action, federal court blocks said action, administration whines and moans but is forced to go along with the ruling.

    You can count on one hand the times this administration has successfully ignored a court order.

      That’s still one hand too many.

      They’ve also been ignoring those judges. I 100% believe, especially with the immigration stuff, that he’s still carrying on what they ordered the administration not to do, only quieter.

        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.
