Well, there were 5.2m people protesting in one day.

The judges have the authority to deputize number of people required to carry out an arrest warrant in the case of contempt.

I am willing to bet that out of 5.2m there are at least several hundred thousand willing to assist with that.

I don't think it's weird - we're used to seeing the rich and powerful get away with everything.

But it is boring. And time consuming. Something that the judges admit themselves.

We also do need that same energy, because even if the courts deputize and enforce contempt, there will be resistance to it.

That ONLY protects the president, and only from crimes he commits as official acts.

Now, we all know the mental gymnastics the GOP can do are impressive, but ignoring a court order is not an official act.

The deportation itself? That's the act that he's immune from.

I am beginning to realize how inadequate the education people received in the US are.

Both the Legislator and Judicial have the authority to deputize to make arrests in determination of contempt.

The "sperate but equal" has meaning to it. The major difference is that over time the Republicans have allocated more and more funds to the Executive to enable them to build up a persistent "enforcement."

I'm beginning to wonder if the education we received was entirely on purpose.

I'm surprised how little it's known, but judges, when issuing contempt decisions, can deputize as necessary. Resulting in arrests.

The US Marshalls are not needed for that. The supreme Court also has its own marshall.

The separation of powers has teeth, it just hasn't commonly been necessary.
