It's been almost a month and Trump still has not "facilitated"...

By a 9-0 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump should "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador.

I think we can assume that he has no intention of "facilitating" the return of Mr Garcia?

When asked about it, he simply dismisses it with the comment, "That is up to my lawyers".

Since when do lawyers make make such decisions for the President of the United States? When ordered by the Supreme Court?

What if the Supreme Court orders his lawyers to "facilitate" his return? What do his lawyers say? "That is up to the President"?

It should be obvious to most Americans that to Trump and the MAGA Republicans, the Constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper.

Fair question in my mind.

The little dude has said he could bring him back if he wanted to. Sounds like contempt to me.
