re: Principled Massie had nothing to say about the Clintons skipping their Epstein hearing?

To be fair that Massie tweet was made an hour after the OP and after Massie was getting slammed for not making a statement.

When will he release the names like he promised?

Oof

Sure it can...the boiler plate language for this is in Ex Parte Robinson (U.S. 1874): “The power to punish for contempts is inherent in all courts; its existence is essential to the preservation of order in judicial proceedings, and to the enforcement of the judgments, orders, and writs of the courts, and consequently to the due administration of justice.”

I am sure you had to use some sort of Google AI or other AI to find this case from 1875 to support your position

However I do not disagree and never have that the court has the power to sanction somebody for disobeying a court order

First we do not have a court order yet
Second, I do not know that the court would be able to order compliance based on the lack of punishment contained within the statues and the ambiguity statue allowing or ratification and changes

I'm sure you would love some liberal judge to order compliance and then criminally sanctioned somebody based on your past posting but the court would have to enter an order first and then find noncompliance which will then be subject to appeal

However judge boasberg i'm sure we do all that in the same hearing or without a hearing after the complaint is filed
