Just courts are slow, but they’re getting there. First the judge issued injunctions, and they defied them. Boasberg was right not to charge them with contempt prior to a ruling to prevent evidence of bias during the inevitable appeal. They defied the ruling yesterday, and Boasberg immediately began the case for contempt today. They have until the 23rd to substantiate their defense. Boasberg has already stated that he will appoint an attorney if the DoJ refuses to do their job. The only way they’re getting out of this is with pardons, which is an outright admission of guilt.
The problem with rules is that they bind those that follow them and enable those that disregard them. I’m not against those trying to enforce the rules. I’m just hyper-aware of the damage being done in the meantime.
We all are. The problem is we have no hope other than the courts succeeding. Projecting defeatism while they’re actively doing their job is unnecessarily discouraging to most. There are still more steps that can be taken to stop this.
