I can only half-follow what @heidilifeldman is saying in this thread (IANAL), but this much is clear:
- There’s going to be a showdown over whether Congress still has the power of the purse, and over whether the Trump admin has to follow •any• court orders, ever — essentially, did the SCOTUS in fact make the president a king, or not?
- Roberts is trying to delay that confrontation as long as possible, pinging technicalities between courts and avoiding the substantive stuff.
- It’s probably not going to work.
- The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
- The judiciary, and our democracy, are hanging by a thread. https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/114110656844812980
@inthehands @heidilifeldman yep, basically this is when SCOTUS confirms whether or not we are in a constitutional crisis
@StephanieMoore @heidilifeldman
…which comes shortly after circumstances finally yank Roberts’s head out of the ostrich hole he’s stuck it in. What a time.
@inthehands @StephanieMoore @heidilifeldman An ostrich hole is called a cloaca.
