Summary

The Trump administration defied a judge’s order to stop migrant expulsions to El Salvador, then told the judge to be more “respectful.”

Judge James Boasberg demanded details on the flights, suspecting the government ignored his orders. The administration refused, claiming judicial overreach and possible state secrets.

Migrants, allegedly gang members, were sent to a brutal Salvadoran prison under an old wartime law. Trump officials mocked the judge, and Chief Justice Roberts issued a rare rebuke.

The administration has appealed, with another hearing set for Friday.

... the Trump administration told the judge Wednesday to be more “respectful.”

Has he said "thank you" once?!

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In his life? No. The word is not in his lexicon. Funnily enough, neither is the word "lexicon".

"Lexic ... Lexi? She's very attractive!"

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Tremendously attractive. A TRUE American model. Doesn't ask questions, just listens. I say, "Lexi, come here," she comes. I ask her to sit, she sits. NOBODY obeys like Lexi. Lexi KNOWS a leader when she sees it. When she's around, everybody calls me the alpha dog. It's true. I can grab her by the pussy, no complaints, no issues. JD tried that once. It didn't work, he got scars. BIG scars. Me? Lexi lets me do whatever I want. Anything. Everything. Any time of day. Real leadership. That's me. The STRONG lead, the weak OBEY. The Democrats, they THINK they're strong. They're weak. They obeyed. Lexi won't listen to a Democrat. You heard it from me folks, when she saw BIDEN, she growled. Lexi obeys me, and lexi won't obey Biden. Democrats are NOT leaders. Lexi knows it, I know it, you know it, everybody knows it."

^Surely, you were promoting this response^

Super easy, barely an inconvenience!

[–] grue@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago

Jail. Them. For. Contempt.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I’d love for one of these judges hold one of these lawyers in contempt. It’s the judge’s court, not the theirs.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

surprised there wasnt an 'or else' after it.

the dictator is basically threatening judges, because thats what asshole dictators do.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If these judges don't start demonstrating strength by jailing the fascists for contempt, they're going to end up getting jailed themselves instead.

I was once told by someone deeeeeeep in underground culture that "sometimes respect doesn't just mean respecting what I do, it means doing what I say." Or something along those lines.

The similarities of that culture and the American government im witnessing is identical.

I've also heard that "some people are disposable". Americans are so naive they don't understand we are basically their product. We can be thrown out to die like damaged goods, things that didn't meet QC, or just written off as waste. This is a real warning to naive people.

I spent years in a phase of surrealism before I finally had to take a hard look and realize people are evil and they are all around us, from the bottom of the street to the president.

what are they trying to do? piss off the judge 'too much', then go to scRotus and whine and cry about the lower court judge being 'biased' against them?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

They want to declare the courts undemocratic, and when the resistance from the courts is all gone, they destroy democracy completely, to make the President a totalitarian dictator.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Basically. Every time this district court judge does a new thing, they file a whiny motion, basically tattle-tale-ing, with the appeals court. The appeals court hasn't said anything about the tattle-tale letters yet. They set a very expedited briefing schedule on the appeal, but not as fast as the government wanted.

[–] DoubleSpace@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

The judges all know Trump has just bull rushed around consequences for crimes against this county, and he's a lot more powerful now. They won't push their luck. The scotus majority will make nice, then the next distraction will come along.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

These bitches have never shown respect themselves and here they are demanding it. Fuck you, Trump Regime.

[–] match@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Respectful" and "Tariffs" are proof of Dunning-Kruger on the GOP's part.
