    I feel like there’s a weird number of people here who are rooting against the boring legalese solution to this problem.

      I don’t think it’s weird - we’re used to seeing the rich and powerful get away with everything.

      But it is boring. And time consuming. Something that the judges admit themselves.

      We also do need that same energy, because even if the courts deputize and enforce contempt, there will be resistance to it.

      I agree with what some others have said. I’m not rooting against it. I’m doubting that anything will actually come of it. I would absolutely love for something to happen.

      People aren’t rooting against it, only realizing that it’s not gonna work. America is too far gone for boring legalese to matter.

      Morale is at an all time low.

      The legal system has been completely pathetic in addressing this problem. It would be foolish to think it will impede a sitting president.

      And? Are those people’s wishes keeping the legalese solution from working? Is their negativity harshing the vibes of Judges?

        Well it’s not helping the morale of anyone who reads those defeatist comments. I prefer to encourage the signs of good efforts.

      Half the people are mad they haven’t done it faster and the other half think it’s pointless, pretty sure 100% are going to complain no matter what

      if I’m not mistaken, isn’t the next appropriate legal step to start impeached proceedings. is there a reason they aren’t even trying to do it?
