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.”

Maybe one should jail him. Then we can really kick off this crisis.
How would contempt work? Would the lawyer go to jail? I don’t see that as a stumbling block.
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?
Hey Republicans, here’s one of them traitors you complain about.
