I hope that judge is pissed off enough to start jailing Administration officials for contempt.

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.
Imagine how different America would be if they actually held people accountable for their actions and crimes.
I was SCREAMING for it after the Bush administration, but Obama and the rest of weak-willed Dem weenies let them off the hook.
If Obama had shown bold leadership when he needed to, MAGA never could have taken root. If Biden had shown bold leadership after Jan 6, HitlerPig and his henchmen woukd be in either Gitmo or the Supermax, and their followers would all be claiming they were never MAGA.
Yeah, they weren't jailed for a coup, they're not getting jailed for contempt
Not totally true. Navarro and Bannon each went to jail for 4 months for contept, for defying a subpoena from the Jan 6 committee. It also cost them a lot of money in legal fees.
If the judge thinks they are ignoring her orders, she absolutely can jail certain officials for civil contempt. Civil contempt has no set term, they simply stay in jail until the order is complied with. And since it is a civil charge, Der Gröpenfuhrer can't pardon it.
In this case, though, the order is just to provide regular updates on the progress of the case. So an official goes to jail, and then just gets released when those updates come.
Lol he owns them and they know it.
SCOTUS is just putting on a show
Genuine question: who exactly would do that? Like I understand their are bailiffs who act as "police" in the courtroom but who would be the ones who physically arrested the Administration officials? The police or other members of the executive branch?
It's ridiculous that the US government is paying a foreign government to detain prisoners on its behalf and seems to be claiming it didn't put anything in the contract about a way to get the prisoners back.
I strongly suspect that this was all by design. If they jail them in US prisons, it's very easy for them to be released. When they're being held by a foreign government, it's very difficult to force them to release them, especially when they know the president doesn't actually want them released in the first place. I'd even wager there's an under the table agreement that they won't release them, even if pressed.
Well, it's not even under the table. The vile price of shit warden publicly said something to the effect of, "Yeah, none of them are ever seeing their homes again"
Given that they admitted he was detained by mistake in the first place, I think "evil" is the word I'd use.
It just temporary, until they finish the 30,000 bed facility theyre building in Guantanamo.
SCrOTUS is spineless. They will kiss his slimy ass.
It's what they were appointed to do.
When the pendulum swings back and we put the fascists to the wall we can't forget SCOTUS
I really hope you're joking. We shouldn't advocate shooting fascists if they are in custody. That's a waste of bullets. Drown the fuckers in a pillow case instead.
Waste of a perfectly good pillow case. 🤨
And water
They'll return him in a body bag.
Nah, he'll be the next one sent to that prison and never be seen again.
They wouldnt waste money on a body bag.
How do we know he’s even alive? They were so sure he’d never go home they may have simply killed the prisoner.
Possible. The other possibility is that they absolutely do not want a first hand account of what's going on inside to be available to the press.
ABC just had a reporter in another part of the prison, and they pack 80 prisoners to a cell, with 2 toilets, and NOTHING else.
That's the part of the prison they didnt mind showing on international television.
Because if he were dead, they'd happily announce it, just to make the Libs scream, and scare the shit out of any undocumented people.
Right now he's just Schroedinger's Political Prisoner.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Uh oh! A VERY STERN LETTER is ABOUT to be MAYBE Written!
