In theory. In practice, we’re in uncharted waters, here - we’re dealing with an administration that is fundamentally lawless. Barr is ordered to turn over something. He doesn’t refuse - he simply doesn’t turn it over. The court cites him for contempt. How does the court enforce that? Do they send the bailiff over to DoJ to take Barr into custody?
I keep thinking about Stalin’s comment about the Pope - “How many divisions does he have?” Or Andrew Jackson: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.”
