    If nobody stops him then he can do it.

    Unfortunately our system is completely broken and nobody is stopping him or the unelected immigrant con man who is actually running the government.

        Unfortunately, it’s not sufficient to simply get a court order against him. Trump has indicated that he’s simply not going to listen. The court will also have to force him to comply.

        And for this, I am hopeful that the involvement of State governments will be helpful. They have State Police that (to my knowledge) can’t be easily put under Federal control like the National Guard can. So it may be possible for a state that is part of one of these court orders to send their own State Police to enforce the order if the DoJ instructs the US Marshals not to.

        Yes, it’s a great big Constitutional Crisis if we need to reply on State Police to enforce a Federal Order. But we’re already there…

          The fact that neither the judicial or legislative branches have no enforcement arm seems a huge oversight to the “Checks and balances”

          That we have not progressed since “John Marshall has made his decision, now let’s see him enforce it” is scary.
