7. Not punting at all...

Right now, she’s ordering expedited discovery, which the regime has been trying to stall all along. This is a necessary step for a finding of civil contempt, which she even referred to in her comments. Such a finding would be necessary for her to order the jailing of the appropriate authorities (which the president cannot pardon) until KAG is returned to the U.S., which is likely the only way to pressure the regime into complying.

Of course, we should realize that any such finding would instantly be appealed, and would likely cause me before SCOTUS. That is when we will see, once and for all, whether we are still a nation of laws or a banana(s) republic.
