Oh a court order? Glad this administration cares so much what courts think and order.
What is a court order going to actually do? Are they going to arrest people for defying the orders? Place them in jail for defying their orders? No? then those orders are a useful as the paper they are printed on.
Oh, believe me, I get it.
It is my firm belief that the third box (justice) has failed, because the fascists are doing whatever they want right now, every day, every minute, and the courts are reactive, compromised, slow, and do not apply sufficiently deterrent consequences.
I expressed my extreme frustration very clearly by asking "What are the consequences for violating this court order, and when do they take effect?" and the responses I received were wholly unsatisfactory. I pointed that out as well. I knew that would be the case; I was posing the question in order to elicit the unsatisfactory replies, and then pointing out how bad those replies were, so that the other people in attendance might at least see that perspective, or know that other people share it.
