He doesn't follow court orders, why should we?

It is not possible to defend the Constitution by violating the Constitution.

Let's be clear, right wing conservatism has abandoned every value it once laid claim to defending, in order to try and hang on to power. Trump embodies every "sin" they once claimed to crusade against, including being a pathological liar about everything he talks about, an adulterer and misogynist, a convicted felony rapist, a business fraud and cheat, who's moral bankruptcy spits in the face and who's denial of respect for his primary constituency's religious beliefs and practice makes them pathetic hypocrites.

The moral high ground, along with the defense of, and fidelity to patriotic American values, and to the Constitution and the rule of law belongs to any part of the left that is opposed to Trump's regime and is doing all it can to resist supporting or enabling it.

He is subverting the Constitution and its provisions for separation of powers with his lawless executive orders and with the support of members of a Congress who are not upholding their oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. He has crossed lines against rulings of the Judicial branch. He has crossed a lot of lines using power he does not have, leaving those who are affected by his illegal actions scrambling to pay for attorneys and file lawsuits.

I just want to put a question out here, and see if there is someone who can come up with an answer. He has been ordered, by more than one federal court, to facilitate bringing home Kilmar Abrego Garcia, including getting him out of the prison camp in El Salvador, and bringing him back to the United States. He's been threatened by judges. "You must execute this order now." Then he doesn't do it, so another court comes along and says, "We mean it this time." And then again, "Come on, you have to do this, so when are you going to do it?"

And Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still in El Salvador.
