Maybe this is like that show, “To catch a predator”, and the courts are just waiting for Musk and Trump to break a really big rule before they are arrested?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah... Right.
The courts ain’t doing 💩
The only cops enforcing/fighting any of this right now are the FBI, and they are mostly just trying to protect themselves.
The rest of the cops in the country are all for this.
When those who are expected to enforce the law and decisions of the courts refuse to do so because they disagree, the courts don't have a lot of recourse.
The white supremacists in our police forces were and are the peoblem.
Self-protection is usually a good motivator and US checks and balances are based on it. But now we’re finding out what happens when the court rules the president has no limits and Congress isn’t interested in their constitutional authority to make laws and allocate money. When all the branches, all the levels, just bow down to the authoritarian, what can you do? When they’re not interested in protecting their own authority, what can you do? They’re all complicit in delivering fascism
They’re all complicit in delivering fascism
And that's the bottom line.
