11. Every time the Orange Traitor pushes and nothing happens it gets worse.

It just reinforces in his mind that he's a King and has an army of followers that will respond to his every slight. The Rule of Law will cease to have any meaning if this very public example of it being flaunted is allowed to continue.

Next time, or this time (I get confused it happens so much) he disregards the instructions given him, throw him in jail and we, and the rest of the country, won't have to hear another thing from him.

With radio silence his supporters will find better things to do after the initial flurry of outrage that the law is being followed.
