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 is a judge going to enforce it? The justice department's not going to help. And even if a judge could somehow get it done, Trump just has to sign a pardon.

They spent decades giving more and more power to the president, and now there's basically no checks left. Even if by some miracle Trump got impeached and convicted, who's going to actually kick him out of the White House?

Well they give an order to the US Marshals and presumably they carry out the will of the court. If for some reason the US Marshals go Rogue judges are authorized to deputize people to enforce the will of the Court.

Some might say it's actually a great reason for leftists to start organizing into armed militias in preparation.

Didn't know about the deputising, that's definitely a good backup. Although even then, you're not going to get the head of DHS or border patrol with a small militia.

Why not? I suppose he could hold up in a fortress with armed guards everywhere to protect him. Short of that though why couldn't we get him? At home. On the way to work. On the steps of Capitol building. Everywhere he goes. Why wouldn't that work? On the other hand if he lives in a fortress with armed guards and is afraid to leave and is in fear of his life at all times, well I'm okay with that too. Not much different than where we're going to put him anyway.
