What would a pardon do?

I am not aware of any pending or threatened criminal charges against the Cabinet.

Ignoring judicial orders is a crime. The pardon fixes that.

I think that is the theory.

Need to just start ignoring the unreasonable judges.

Bossaberg has proven himself to be a joke. There is really no need to pay any attention to him at all going forward.

Which means it cannot rule whether the info is a state secret. It cannot only rule on whether it feels the privilege was properly invoked.


it’s 2 different things.

The Government can invoke the privilege in the proper form and the judge can then determine if the information is actually privileged.

What do you think happens if determined it is privileged?

Without being able to look at the information? Nope. The ruling specifically states they have to weigh all of the information around it, without actually viewing it then the court rules whether it believes the privilege was properly invoked. NOT whether the info is in fact a state secret. I don’t understand the struggle here. The ruling is clear.

The court makes the ruling, the court must enforce it. The DOJ has said they won't so, the court can deal with it.

explain what you mean by “decide if the privilege is properly invoked”

If the information is a state secret it is privileged.

If the court decides it isn’t privileged that’s the same as deciding it isn’t a state secret.


What do you think the judge is trying to decide?

To decide if the privilege is appropriately invoked under Reynolds. That requires the court “must determine whether the circumstances are appropriate for the claim of privilege.” Not whether the information is actually a state secret.

Absolutely incorrect.

The information being a state secret is what makes the appropriate to claim State Secret Privilege. That’s the whole point of the privilege. The executive branch has a right to preserve genuine state secrets.

They are evaluating the circumstances….not the actual information. I cannot make it any more clear.

Those are the exact worlds from Reynolds. Which means if you go back and read my very first post in this thread…I was correct.

Question for you - why can't Trump send a response to any fed district judge that went something like this, "Judge, your input is appreciated but this administration chooses to ignore your advice, as we do not believe you have the constitutional authority to run the executive branch of government" and then simply ignore all the noise?

Outside of precedent (I suppose), where do these district courts find the authority to preside over the day-to-day operation of the executive branch?

Judge could find the parties and attorneys in contempt. Trump could pardon them. Attorneys would likely face disciplinary action.

The president's attorneys? If so, so what? In a literal sense, no rational world would give over 600 judges that nobody voted for the power to open borders, determine how many people are employed by the federal government, etc. I wouldn't worry about any repercussions if I was Trump and it's not like he's not experienced at dealing with bullshite legal action.

I’d imagine the bar and disciplinary committee of whatever jurisdiction they are licensed wouldn’t be too friendly. They are notoriously liberal.

Have Bondi pen the letter. It would be fun to watch the bar/disciplinary committee try to discipline the USAG.

Please cite one of your posts that admonished the Biden admin when they ignored fed district court rulings.

We will all hang up and wait "Mrs neutral/impartial observer of truth and honesty"

You and SFP and your appeal to authority and other logical fallacies are tiring. Its okay to just admit you have partisan tendencies, we all do to an extent.

You’re confusing what they can base their evaluation on with what they are trying to determine.

they can’t view the information.

But if they feel they government if full of shite they can rule against their privilege claim and compel the information be produced.

It’s a privilege designed to protect state secrets. that’s when it’s proper to invoke it so that what the judge has to determine from the spurning circumstances and facts.
