This is not a meme. This is a quote from Trump’s border czar on why he was ignoring Judge James Boasberg’s orders.
The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union. Speaking after Monday’s hearing, ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt called the situation a “constitutional crisis.”
Lee Gelernt: “At this point, it seems like the administration is simply walking into court and telling a federal court they can’t look at the evidence, they can’t stop what they’re doing, and we see constant public statements from administration officials criticizing federal judges, saying they don’t have authority. I think we’re on dangerous ground here in the United States.”
How would contempt work? Would the lawyer go to jail? I don’t see that as a stumbling block.
