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.
