Awesome, now they just need to consider the judges an enemy of the country so they can ignore or remove them

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!

I upvoted, but on reflection, I can't tell if this was sarcasm (which is why I up voted) or if it's sincere (which in that case, fuck off)...
It is sarcasm. I... expected not to have to say it but in hindsight I realize that the amount of people that would say it seriously is so high I should have added the /s
They have largely been complying with court orders thus far. I get the sentiment, but repeating this is just normalizing the idea of them majorly violating court orders when we need there to be strong push back if they do
They want you to be apthatic and think nothing will work so you stop fighting back
The court orders are a temporary roadblock. Trump will either fire the judges or appeal to the Supreme Court.
Judges can't be fired - they have to be removed via impeachment which requires 67 in the senate. Republicans only have 53 in the senate
SCOTUS is insane but they have their own agenda that doesn't always align with trump. They often have and keep ruling against him in a good number of cases. They are far more selective on when to be insane
Fight every fight. It's not over at all
Judges can't be fired
And trump can't unilaterally shutter departments funded by congress. How's that going so far?
This is an absurdly ignorant comment.
Why do judges, elected from the country or put into positions from elected officials and confirmed by a representative body have to do with mega billionaires ?
Federal judges are appointed, and they have lifetime positions, just like SCOTUS.
Parent commenter is describing what the administration is likely to continue doing. They've already paid little heed to federal injunctions against them. They've already started calling federal judges into question.
Now that sounds efficient!
