No worries lads, I'm sure Clarence Thomas is already writing an "its okaaaayyy" letter in response to this to justify his bribes
Will he actually comply with the ruling?
Unless he's gonna waddle his fat orange ass out there and do it himself, at this point these rulings are less about whether HE'S going to listen and more about whether the people actually doing his dirty work listen.
the national guard will comply with the ruling… but it’s just a 2 week, temporary block
"You blatantly lied about everything so you have to stop being horrible for two weeks, but then feel free to resume after that."
well i hope it’s to make time for some other process to block it more completely…
A court ruling is the process that could block it completely.
🤞
I doubt it, because he can just get his goons in the Supreme Court to change the ruling. It feels like these “judge blocks X” events are nearly meaningless. I mean they still do something but in a sane world… we wouldn’t be at this point.

Trump: "WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH MOMMY BARRETT DADDY THOMAS THEY WON'T LET ME HAVE MY WAY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"
Doesn’t have to. “Official acts.”
He might not have to, but the people under him do.
Federal court order. Violating it would be a federal offense. Presidents can pardon federal offenses.
On the other hand, they may be thinking twice after all of his broken promises to pay everyone ever. The idea of a potential pardon doesn't carry as much weight when the person making the promise notoriously lies about his follow through.
A contempt of court charge isn't a federal charge, iirc.
Looks like "it's complicated".

I haven't taken a super deep dive here, but it looks like the jurisdiction at hand is the specific court issuing the contempt order. As in, the Court is provided jurisdiction to issue contempt charges, not state or federal or military. I'm sure the argument would be "But it's a federal court, so the president can pardon the contempt charges." Which would have to be argued about in ... a federal appellate court? The same court? I don't even know, but it would surely end up on the SCOTUS shadow docket where they'd rubber stamp it in favor of Dear Leader.
Even if SCOTUS didn't rubber stamp it, the troops would remain boots on the ground until they made a finding in the case. They'll have bought months of continuing to do whatever they want at the very least.
Thankfully the generals in the National Guard are listening to the courts, unlike the politicial side of government. I'm sure many of them realize they are the true last stand to keeping things civil as a country when the federal government appears to want to overthrow local elected officials in states it doesn't like. We are in unprecedented waters with every move these fools in power attempt
