Summary

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg warned of "consequences" after the DOJ resisted his request for details on deportation flights conducted under Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act.

The government argued that providing details would expose sensitive foreign negotiations and asked for a delay. Boasberg, frustrated by the pushback, extended the deadline but questioned the secrecy claim, noting officials had already disclosed details publicly.

The administration insists the court lacks jurisdiction, while Boasberg ordered the DOJ to comply or formally invoke the state-secrets doctrine.

Maybe, possibly, some day. Shit or get off the pot. Stop threatening consequences and actually do something for once.

[–] Limonene 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This reminds me of Trump's trial where he was threatened like 5 times with contempt, for outbursts in the courtroom. They never actually held him in contempt.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think a lot of his not getting held to account is because of an idea about upholding the sanctity of the presidency, which isn't even law. Shame they couldn't uphold the sanctity of human rights and the rule of law.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which is ridiculous because what really undermines the sanctity of the presidency is allowing the president to get away with such crimes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Exactly. It's like 'if we didn't see it, it didn't happen', except he's tweeting it himself and loudly threatening anyone he has a petty grudge against.

Courts are infuriatingly slow. It's not like on TV where a judge will threaten to jail somebody for contempt at the drop off a hat.

People have been saying that about Trump's ostensibly incoming justice for almost a decade.

We are way past the point of being able to explain this as a slow justice system; we don't have a justice system.

People have been saying that about Trump’s ostensibly incoming justice for almost a decade.

People have been saying that about everytime people complain about the slow workings of the courts. Every lawyer in the world will tell you that these things move slowly.

So slow, a man awaiting conviction for multiple felonies can successfully run for president

[–] kikutwo 44 points 1 day ago

There's no consequences, that's why they keep flouting laws and judges.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, consequences, I demand consequences, I demand to know what consequences

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I’ve never seen consequences, except for very poor people such as millionaires ( the new upper middle class).

I wonder if it involves handouts of food

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

government immediately appealed the ruling, and said in a filing Tuesday that the judge’s order lacked proper jurisdiction “because the presidential actions they challenge are not subject to judicial review.”

i mean don't these judges know how fascism works?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

300 people are in a mega prison without having been convicted by due process but Donald Trump gets to have infinite delays in being held accountable

Narrator: "But, at the end of the day, there would be no consequences"

Ruffling leaves as the Narrator uses a camera team to record us like zoo animals

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

Oh no! Consequences! That might even mean a strongly worded letter in… bold type!

This Judge Boasberg character is going to “fall out a window” if he keeps it up.

[–] FuglyDuck 5 points 1 day ago

Fucking do it. Let’s get this knock out drag out fight started.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

consequences?

WHO'S GOING TO ENFORCE THEM?

[–] A_A 9 points 1 day ago

"possible consequences". So maybe, a slap on the wrist ... or more likely, a severe gazing ... or even more likely, this warning alone.
We are so fed up of all this corruption and apathy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

We’ll see…

They came in your soup and you might write a bad yelp review.

imagine not being satisfied with only 1 punisher patch on your rentacop uniform

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I wonder who is going to deliver these consequences? Trump owns all the power. This has always been the weakness of our system. Courts mean nothing unless their decisions are enforced.
