"When chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz said last week that the Trump administration had violated 96 court orders in 78 cases since Jan. 1 in Minnesota alone, I first thought this was another Trump administration gambit to defy the judicial branch. "
Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."
"Whenever President Trump puts on a performative display of hyper-aggressive dominance, Stephen Miller can be found lurking in the background egging him on, the WSJ documents.”
There’s no upside for our per sé ambitious elite in fighting Trump which essentially means opposing the GOP which, policy-wise they pretty much all support. That is, the big bucks sought are in supporting the establishment which means supporting the GOP—even the national Democrats as a rule have done it since Clinton. And, at the end of the day, Trump is just a cruder Republican who doesn’t believe in the rule of law and legality and norms impeding his efforts to implement Republican goals (when not lashing out like an infant).
It’s been clear for awhile that the establishment was going to save us from Trump… They’re as complicit in the shit we’re in as anyone.
So no need to study Bloch. We’re so decadent a society that our masters are fine with any abuses from the right wing—even sick people murdering people in the street or destroying free elections.
I can go on, of course, but you get the idea or not…
Thank you for this excellent post on all things legal. Comprehensive coverage. 😊

until these judges put DOJ people in jail nothing will change.

Well, DUH!
"...lurking...", as the proverbial snake-in-the-grass, but with apologies to actual snakes, but NOT to the human kind.
We have used the expression “shit storm.” This is more like a blizzard. ( Formerly lived in Minnesota.)
As always, thank you David, for your comprehensive post.
