Here's the reality. The only enforcement that the courts have (including the Supreme Court) is that the Executive Branch & Congress executes what the ruling says. If Trump ignores it, then all Congress can do is impeach him. And we all know what cowards there will definitely not do.
Trump administration officials are laughing in a federal judge's face — and they're betting the judicial branch doesn't have much in its arsenal to make them obey.

The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).

Earlier I posted about Lachlan Morton's Ride from Auckland to Wellington in a day. Rapha created a short video of the ride. Really cool, esp having the grainy video of the Brian Fleck doing it (along with him and his wife in the video). content.rapha.cc/us/en/story/...?
