A showdown may be imminent at the Supreme Court now that the Justice Department has hedged again.
A federal judge denied the Justice Department’s request for more time on Friday to explain its plans for returning a man to the U.S. after the government deported him to a notorious prison in El Salvador.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis issued a two-page order Friday after Justice Department prosecutors cited a need for a “reasonable period of time to review the Supreme Court’s order,” issued late Thursday that ordered the government to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S…
I hope that judge is pissed off enough to start jailing Administration officials for contempt.
Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.
Imagine how different America would be if they actually held people accountable for their actions and crimes.
I was SCREAMING for it after the Bush administration, but Obama and the rest of weak-willed Dem weenies let them off the hook.
If Obama had shown bold leadership when he needed to, MAGA never could have taken root. If Biden had shown bold leadership after Jan 6, HitlerPig and his henchmen woukd be in either Gitmo or the Supermax, and their followers would all be claiming they were never MAGA.
Republicans are evil. Democrats are useless.
Very succinct. You said in a few words, what I always need a few paragraphs to say. Nice job.

If the judge thinks they are ignoring her orders, she absolutely can jail certain officials for civil contempt. Civil contempt has no set term, they simply stay in jail until the order is complied with. And since it is a civil charge, Der Gröpenfuhrer can’t pardon it.
In this case, though, the order is just to provide regular updates on the progress of the case. So an official goes to jail, and then just gets released when those updates come.
Lol he owns them and they know it.
SCOTUS is just putting on a show
Not totally true. Navarro and Bannon each went to jail for 4 months for contept, for defying a subpoena from the Jan 6 committee. It also cost them a lot of money in legal fees.
Genuine question: who exactly would do that? Like I understand their are bailiffs who act as “police” in the courtroom but who would be the ones who physically arrested the Administration officials? The police or other members of the executive branch?
Presumably the Marshalls.
