At least 35 times since August, federal judges have ordered the administration to explain why it should not be punished for violating their orders in immigration cases.
Note that these are district-level judges, not appeals judges, let alone ones on the Supreme Court
I keep hoping eventually Cheeto will piss off the Supremes, but I’m certainly not holding my breath at this point

Hopefully they tell him to Stop! In the Name of Love
The dictator has instructed his minions to keep collecting tariffs and disregard the SCOTUS ruling. It should result in a sternly worded letter.
well, judges, do your fucking job and sign an arrest warrant. like you would with every one else without batting an eye.
And it is exactly that appeasing, that non-accountability, which enables perpetually-moving-the-goal-posts, perpetually-escalating, until the complete-dictatorship-tippingpoint is crossed.
IF accuntability won’t be enforced, THEN it isn’t actual/significant/real.
No matter: nobody’ll believe that it’s actual until it’s too-late, & the mass-murder has begun.
There’s a survivor of Auschwitz in the documentary “Anne Franke Remembered”, who said that in the Jewish enclave, in the Netherlands, every time the nazis made a new rule, the Jews said to themselves “it’s just one more thing”, & ignored it…
again & again…
until the nazis made a rule that the Jews weren’t allowed to go anywhere, anymore.
Then they knew it was Too Late™.
This is simply history doing the same fundamental-thing, again.
Nobody’ll learn, though, so it’ll never be prevented.
Nobody’ll learn.
As East Germany demonstrated, once it is too-late, then sycophanting to the authority-institution becomes the only means of ingratiating oneself with the new-regime.
The majority of East Germans were snitching in order to be ingratiating themselves with the regime/institution.
Exactly that’ll be happening in Trump’s dictatorship in the US.
This year, later. ( 2026, for people in future years )
All this could have been prevented, but party-politics/ideology vetoed that opportunity.
All part of The Great Filter.
Exactly like an addict preferring chemically-enforced-oblivion to responsibility, humankind preferring legalism-proven-nonresponsibility over the belonging-violating-horror of actual-integrity.
Human-nature’ll not change, in my lifetime.

That changes things greatly!
