Baker: Courts Are Considering Contempt Proceedings in Deportation Cases Because They Don’t Work on That Kind of Pace

RUSH EXCERPT:
BAKER: "Well, look. This is a president who is using the courts as a foil. He’s going out there and saying, I would do all these things, except the courts aren’t letting me. That’s convenient for him in some ways, because if in fact, his supporters ultimately become disappointed that he hasn’t fulfilled all the promises he made, and he made an awful lot of them, that frankly couldn’t be fulfilled, you know, by any normal means, then he has somebody to blame for it. Now, you know, the courts have tried to be, you know, deferential to due process, but it’s hard for them, I think, to keep up with what Trump is doing. The courts don’t work on the kind of pace that this administration has been keeping up with. One other thing to keep in mind, Alex, that big, beautiful bill that Trump just helped push through the house that he likes to call it, that includes a provision that Republicans slipped in there to basically gut the ability of courts to hold people in the Trump Administration in contempt if they don’t follow court orders. And that’s going to be really interesting to see whether the Senate Republicans go along with that."
