Summary

Trumpā€™s defiance of court ordersā€”refusing to release funds or reinstate officialsā€”signals a dangerous drift toward dictatorship.

Courts use civil and criminal contempt to enforce orders, yet their power relies on DOJ-controlled agencies like the Marshals and Bureau of Prisons.

If the DOJ ignores or pardons contempt findings, judicial authority is undermined.

With Congress failing to check executive overreach, Trumpā€™s persistent noncompliance erodes the rule of law.

The situation risks transforming government into a dictatorship unless public outrage and political resistance reverse this trend.

      Donā€™t worry, weā€™re defunding the VA. Theyā€™ll kill themselves in the streets instead

      Yeah, trans veterans arenā€™t the majority of veterans. While itā€™s horrific whatā€™s being done to them, itā€™s not really going to have any impact on the military resisting a dictatorship.
