Short term punishment for states: ICE and the National Guard get sent into cities to make people feel unsafe, under the guise of an ‘immigration emergency’. Perhaps also Marines!
To punish more fully, just illegally withhold federal funds for whatever is most hurtful. Highways? Education? Healthcare?
And to your direct point, I’m sure someone could whip up a reason for the military to take over and shut down the sites if they don’t comply - this _is_ a national security matter after all.
Court system stops any of that? Just comply (or pretend to) with the letter of the ruling and try another barely-distinguishable but arguably different illegal method for the next few months while the gears of the court system grind.
What is _meant_ to stop the executive branch (meant to ‘execute’ the will of Congress, not just follow its own desires) going rogue is impeachment by Congress, but that seems like a far off prospect.

- consumer451 10mo agoDon't worry, there is a plan. CNN will be in new hands by that point. Reddit's r/all will be, or already is gone from the app's defaults, and much more to come!
- ta9000 10mo agoI don’t even know liberals that watch CNN. It’s already irrelevant.
- consumer451 10mo agoIf it was truly irrelevant, then there wouldn't be billions being thrown at it.
- Tostino 10mo agoIt's the airport TV's and doctor's office waiting rooms that they are bidding for at this point.
- mgiampapa 10mo agoThe doctors offices want none of it. It's all FoodTV and HGN. There is no utility in pissing off 75% of your customers. I'm thrilled that my kid's doctor doesn't even allow patients that aren't vaccine schedule compliant.
- Tostino 10mo agoI'm in Hell (FL), so more "professional offices" than not have Fox on. Also, we are pushing hard to make sure kids aren't vaccinated at a state level it seems. I wish I didn't have so much extended family in the area that I'd be moving away from if I left.
- janc_ 10mo agoDoctors should never deny patients. They can take precautions & insist on proper treatments, of course.
- ta9000 10mo agoIt’s this attitude that’s led to us being in this mess. Don’t want to listen to the doctor about basic medical advice? Don’t go to that doctor.
- mgiampapa 10mo agoBeing medically stupid isn't a protected class. You can refuse service to anyone you want to otherwise. It's not an ER, it's a Pediatrician, and they value not endangering their other patients who actually follow medical advice.
