Bills must be paid by Wednesday, or else.
… or else what, exactly? There seems to be a whole lot of sternly worded judicial opinions, but can they actually do anything to enforce said decisions??
Anyone involved with the legal response or not releasing these funds can be arrested and held in contempt of court. This would obviously apply to Trump lackeys, and not himself. Do this a couple dozen times, and his entire cabinet has nobody to enforce their bullshit.
Arrested by whom? Isn’t it the executive branch that controls the enforcement of laws and judicial decisions?
Serious question. What power does the judiciary have to enforce their rulings.
No. Absolutely not.
You also don’t have a fundamental understanding of how the constitution works.
Do you know what the three branches of government are and what they are responsible for? This is grade school stuff.
My guy, you are right that this is taught in grade school civics class. But that isn’t the zing you think it is.
The legislative makes the law The judicial interprets the law The executive enforces the law
Judges can’t enforce anything. They need people from the executive side to do the enforcing.
You keep repeating the same misinformation throughout this post and are getting the down votes for it.
Exactly why I qualified my statement with “enforce the law”.
Never said they make the law.
Its pathetic that people are even commenting on very basic things regarding the constitution here.
Although the text of the take care clause “seemingly invests the office with broad enforcement authority,” it also limits the executive’s power. As the Constitution Annotated notes, the clause “underscores that the executive is under a duty to execute the laws of Congress faithfully and not disregard them.”
The executive is not there to enforce anything except what Congress has already passed. You can’t make shit up and decide that up is down and yellow is green at your leisure.
One more time
The judicial interprets, not “enforces”.
The executive doing their job wrong doesn’t change this.
can be arrested
By who?
The local police who are deferential to the judicial. That’s how and why they can arrest people. The executive does not decide this.
Am I living in a universe where people just aren’t tought these things in school?
I don’t know what universe you’re living in, but it isn’t the normal one because you’re wrong.
The local police are part of the executive branch of the local government. Not judicial.
That fundamental lack of understanding goes a long way to explain why you keep delusionally insisting that judges can enforce the law.
