Census Bureau Puts Out Weird Tweet, Seemingly Flouting Judge’s Order | Talking Points Memo

Any chance if he does flout the order, Ross could be seeing prison time?

Hmm, where’s the magic eight ball. I need some guidance.

Does this suggest a reopening of the case against all officers and another hearing before a grand jury is coming?

Magic eight ball? Uh, magic eight ball?

The plaintiff wants the courts to force the issue to prevent Cameron from retaliating. That’s why they want the transcripts and recordings released.

Otherwise the jurors could just provide interviews.

I think we’ve all been lied to by multiple seasons of “Law and Order” about that kind of thing. Doesn’t seem to exist in the real world.

Have Wilbur Ross and Kate McKinnon been seen in the same room at the same time?

So, trumper is messing with all things governmental, at this point I would say it’s a clear pattern of what can I mess up today just for fun.
My real problem is why the hell is this allowed to happen?
Where are the decent people left in government and why are they not screaming at the top of their lungs all day every day?
Trumper would have had to fire me two years ago, or listen to my yelling all day every day. He is doing this stuff only because people are not standing up for their values!

Lock him up, etc, etc, etc…

This thing keeps getting worse. Turns out they are not sure if Walker really shot the cop. The AG is a shameless liar that’s covering up for the cops.

Charming little entitled billionaires…‘DO IT MY WAY. DO IT NOW.’ This is why we don’t have rich ‘businessmen’ run the government.

This is the standard operating procedure with these guys. We keep expecting them to follow the laws and feel chagrin when they do not do so

But the fact of the matter is that these guys see the law as something to chip away at. In other words, they see the law in terms of ‘what can I get away with?’ rather than ‘oh, I can’t do that.’

This is why their bleating of ‘unfair!’ should fall on deaf ears. Most people see laws as a guide on how to behave in a civilized society, not something you can flout to ‘prove’ their superiority. The legal penalties in the cases should NEVER be mitigated because Types like Ross don’t learn that their behavior is impermissible. They will simply try again in another forum. Thus they should be slapped down as hard as possible

It’s leap year. February, September, add them all on.

Feature not bug.

That’s pretty interesting ( read alarming) in and of itself. What kind of retaliation does the juror fear? How did they come to believe retaliation was likely? Does the AG generally threaten jurors?

Yeah, but I guess I hope that most of our fellow Americans have a view of “law and order” that is rooted in concepts of justice and equality that this “administration” and its leadership seems to fervently eschew.and ridicule.

It existed for one B&B owner the next township over. He started holding weddings there, neighbors complained because that wasn’t allowed by the zoning, he started jerking the township around, saying big deal he’d pay the fine every time, so they took him to county court and got an injunction saying don’t do that or stuff will happen you can’t laugh off. No more weddings.

Someday real soon when there’s a new president in town, a new sheriff, believe you me ever tweeted this out who ever decided to ignore a court order a judges orders will be held accountable just adding it to the list don’t care how long it is we are going to take each one by one and you’re going to jail or somethings going to happen. If I were under his umbrella I’d be forgetting out while the getting is good but no matter how far you go if your name is on that we will find you and charge you

It’s a shitty job, but someone’s got to do it.
