What did you expect? Of course the Trump administration will defy court orders!

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry over this:

Federal judges have issued President Donald Trump stinging legal rebukes in the early clashes over his blitz of executive orders, and two of his top aides have responded by suggesting that his administration defy the courts and move forward with its agenda.

There’s no indication that Trump has adopted such a strategy, although a U.S. judge in Rhode Island ruled Monday that the administration has been violating a court order to disburse billions of dollars in already approved grant funding and hinted at possible penalties.

Well, duh!  Of course Trump is not going to obey court orders.  Why on earth should he?  Who is going to make him?  (I have a vague recollection of hearing a supposedly famous quote about the court's armies but now I can't find it.)

This is the saddest part:

But the combative rhetoric by Vice President JD Vance and top adviser Elon Musk has troubled legal experts, who said there is no modern precedent for a president to ignore or defy court orders.  [Emphasis added.]

As if that matters.  In case you hadn't noticed, there is no precedent, modern or otherwise, for anything Donald Trump has done.  Donald Trump's entire brand is built on telling people where they can stick their modern precedents.

There is only one way to make Donald Trump obey a court order and that is to levy a credible threat of removing him from office through the impeachment process.  Good luck with that.
