22. The Courts Have Options...
Thu May 22, 2025, 05:51 PM
Thursday

A judge can find say, Noem in contempt. The US Marshals are under the control of the AG, true, but issuing a bench warrant and trying to toss the offender in the clink until they basically surrender, well, that’s not the only option. Financial penalties can be levied for every day that person is not in compliance with the court’s orders. Noem, Bondi, etc., aren’t rich enough that they can withstand fines that increase exponentially by the day. And you know that Caligula isn’t going to pay the fines. When the fine starts at say, $1000, I suspect that it wouldn’t take too long before the individual(s) in question would start squealing “Uncle!”
