In a CNN discussion, anchors Dana Bash, Sarah Longwell, and Jonathan V. Last addressed rising concerns regarding President Trump's potential disregard for court orders following a judge's pause on deportations. Longwell emphasized the alarming precedent being set, suggesting that Trump could ignore legal rulings during his potential second term. The conversation highlighted how the current political climate reflects a growing sense of lawlessness and undermines judicial authority, indicating that the courts may serve as a crucial check on executive power amidst escalating tensions in political discourse.
One of the things that we thought may very well happen is that Trump was going to set himself up to deny court orders or just ignore them.
Under the precedents now being established by radical rogue judges, a district court in Hawaii could enjoin troop movements in Iraq.
The courts have become, in this moment, one of the last refuges of sort of being able to hold power accountable.
Both of you have been talking about the lawlessness... How do you think that plays into what we are seeing, just... the disregarding of judges' orders?
