11. The Court orders from this weekend are being ignored

Will the Courts step forward with contempt of court citations?

They haven't thus far. Authorities continue to detain arrivals at the airports.

And some GOP appointed judges will side with the Trump administration.

The GOP Congress is not going to do anythint to impede Trump except
mumble disapproval once on awhile. They are getting all they want ideologically,
and Trump is their man. This is why it is SO important for the public to continue
to RESIST!

So I would say don't confuse the legal structure in the US as it has operated and
evolved over the last 200 years with what is actually happening in regards the current
immigration enforcement issue in the struggle between the Executive and the Courts.
Constitutional lawyers will have to pull every precendent they can muster to attempt
to stop this power grab. It's Nixonian.
