An arrest warrant is a nothingburger if no one is arrested. Many people live forever on an open arrest warrant in another state, knowing if it is say a misdemeanor warrant there is 0% chance it will be enforced, it at most turns into a drinking joke.
I mean that it is a nothingburger. Maybe some day it will not be a nothingburger.
If I meant to say it will be a nothingburger for all infinity I would say 'ever.' My intent here is to portray it could indeed change to not being a nothingburger, which is why I used a past tense in my first quote.
Contempt can be a civil charge which is not pardonable by the President. Civil contempt would be holding officials until XYZ is accomplished. Criminal contempt would be sentencing people for their actions.
I'll believe it when I see it. The administration has openly defied the supreme court by saying a 9-0 decision against them is actually the court affirming their choices and decision.
So far the courts have shown themselves to be toothless.
You’re free to that opinion. I’m just pointing out it’s wrong. (A flat Earther may similarly claim they’ll “believe it when they see it.”)
The administration hasn’t defied SCOTUS, because SCOTUS didn’t order anything. People lying about what a court says while following its orders to the letter is pretty common.
The fun will start when those found in contempt are then pardoned.
This is like saying an arrest warrant is a nothingburger because nobody has been arrested yet.
