What happens if a President is in contempt of the federal court?

[Eppy99]

I guess my greatest fear in all of this (the doomsday scenario) is less about what the President does, but more about the reaction of the people should the President not be held to the rule of the law or follow the constituion. I think the possibility of civil unrest would be real and I don't know to what extent. The people need to believe in democracy for this country to keep working the way it has for the last almost 250 years. Democracy works when people and the governent hold it in the highest regard. I think it becomes a slippery slope when we stop following the law of the land.

Now can you add some Clinton saxaphone in the background....

Let me find my reed for my sax... Been awhile since I traded fours in a jam session.

MIles Davis never needed a reed, just a little cocaine.

Two wrongs don't make a right. In other words, if the other guy violates the law, the solution is not to violate it right back and when people complain say "that other guy did it too so it's OK!"

Do you believe the preceding paragraph?

Activist judges are THE problem.

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

It's unconstitutional for judges to rule on questions of law? Do you even any longer believe in the necessity of a judicial branch?

He doesn't believe Congress or the Judiciary is necessary now that we President Trump in office.

I agree with you.

I think that's a valid fear, but you can make it even scarier by realizing it might lead to a terrible Catch-22. Not only could an out of control President lead to civil unrest, but the Constitution gives us a method of taking care of an out of control President: impeachment. Which in our current environment, might lead to even greater civil unrest.

Damn straight there would be civil unrest.

I think he's worried the left hand might not know what the right hand is doing.

Oh, The Stranger?

A little?

 

[Cortez88]

Yep, and it came in that exact format as well. What are the odds.

I thought it would be obvious.

If you are not using ChatGPT for damn near everything, you are a fool.

Correct Trane was on sax. And it was heroin.
