A divided Supreme Court is allowing Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire that Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border, while a lawsuit over the wire continues.
Nah the litigants can apply to lower courts for affirmative relief in compliance with the higher court’s orders and the judges can issues writs of mandamus to any proper officer requiring the officer to do a thing, the failure of which is remedied by a writ of capias, which is a judicial arrest warrant. Would have to be a whole hell of a lot of local judges, cops, marshals, lawyers, clerks, administrators, etc., who would have to ignore it, before nobody ends up in jail or has their assets seized.
Yeah but if the legislative branch doesn’t fund it and the executive branch doesn’t enforce it, then as my granpappy always said: “a writ ain’t worth a shit.” Lower courts, judges, lawyers, clerks, police, Marshalls, and even administrators notwithstanding.
