Unfortunately, the Executive Branch ignoring the Courts isn't something that there's a solution for in the current environment.

Unfortunately, the Executive Branch ignoring the Courts isn't something that there's a solution for in the current environment.
- ethbr1 1y agoThankfully, it hasn't outright come to that. MAGA has been pushing hard on boundaries, and playing fast and loose with gray areas, but still seem to be obeying actual final court rulings. The biggest crisis on the horizon is going to be if the USMS / FBI / DOJ refuse to execute court-ordered redress. The fix for that is to put at least the USMS directly under the courts. The longer-term more worrisome trend is the drumbeat in conservative media against "activist judges", which is transparently a ploy to turn their constituency against the judicial branch, in preparation for ignoring judicial outcomes... Ironically, the current ideologically tilt of the Supreme Court may cut against that. Harder to argue that a 6-3 conservative court is being unfair to their guy. A 5-4 or 4-5 court would have been a lot easier to tar and feather in public opinion.
