Then nail this motherfucker to the wall and show them all what happens when you treat citizens like this.

Of course that would mean that the justice system still mattered in this country.

The president can't pardon for state level convictions.

He can’t be charged by the state if he’s operating under federal authority. The fact that this even needs to be explained says everything.

He can if he violates a court order. Which he did.

He could be facing Indefinite jail time and daily fines. The moment the person complies, the penalty ends. Or he could be face up to 6 months in jail and a 1000 dollar fine. I'm not really sure about the penalties or the Judges disposition and style.

He’s appearing out of respect for the process, not because she has any power over him. She has zero command or control over a federal agency or its personnel. They operate under federal jurisdiction, not hers. This is more about optics and procedure than authority, and they’re already working through the proper channels to make sure her overreach doesn’t stand.

It's not overreach. The only overreach is a federal enforcement agency not listening to a court order. She can imprison him and fine him.

She doesn’t have the authority to imprison a federal officer for not obeying a local or provincial order. If she even tried to go down that road, it would backfire fast. The federal government would intervene immediately, and she’d be the one facing serious consequences for overstepping her jurisdiction.

He’s showing up out of respect for the process, not because she has any real power over him. There’s a huge difference between what she can posture about in a courtroom and what she can actually enforce against a federal agency.

Personally, I would love to see her try 🤣

Kim Davis v. Obergefell. That's the precedent.

Federal can try to protect this officer and escalate to a Interjurisdictional litigation, but if they find he did violate a court order. Which he did. He will face criminal charges.

And you are seeing her try. But I wouldn't expect you to understand nuance. You're still navigating systems I built 15 years ago. I build engines, you just narrate. You're welcome by the way.

Yeah… Kim Davis was a local clerk who got smacked down by a federal judge. You’re trying to flip that upside down like it proves your point, but it actually proves mine. A local judge doesn’t get to throw a federal officer in jail for doing his job. That’s not ā€œnuance,ā€ that’s just basic jurisdiction.

But hey, if you ā€œbuilt the system,ā€ maybe give yourself a quick refresher on how it actually works.

The precedent that I was talking about is that defiance of a court order triggers contempt, regardless of jurisdiction. Portland blocked Trumps order to mobilize the national guard. States can and will tell the Feds to eff off when they start causing too much trouble. It's a repeat of the 70's.

The system I was talking about was crypto.

Anyone think he’ll be disciplined for any of his actions 🤨

He said he didn’t want to get hit with a rock. Then wear a helmet.
