Federal Judge in California orders Trump administration to reunite children with their parents within 14 days (if under five years old) or 30 days for older children. Seems very unlikely that they will be able to comply...and I don't know what consequences there are, if any, for failing to obey the order.
People are acting like politics has always been a clean game full of integrity and all of a sudden, Republicans made it dirty.
Politics has always been dirty. It's just that dirtiness often played out behind the scenes, contained a good cover story or occurred during a time where information couldn't travel far if it could at all. With social media being everywhere and everybody being watched continuously, it's hard for people to hide what they don't want the world to see. So for the first time, we're seeing how the sausage is made in the political world in real-time. The methods might be different due to the technology but the attitudes are no different now than they were in the past.
Norms are merely a front set up by politicians for the people to cover up what happens behind the scenes. Democrats cling to them to give themselves the illusion of integrity because they have shame. Republicans don't have a shame and thus have told norms to go **** themselves. This lack of shame and regard for norms allows them to act with impunity while Democrats cower behind their norms and complain how mean the Republicans are to them.
Time for Democrats to realize that clinging to norms and civility are guaranteed recipes for finishing in 2nd once again. The dirtiness of politics is there for the world to see and it's time for Democrats to get dirty and fight.
Haven't read the opinion, but it sounds harsh. She may stay for appeal, but deadline will likely still be ticking, and 9th Cir unlikely to overturn, and SCT will be out of session.
If they don't comply they are in contempt of court. As for it being "too difficult", that would just suggest they are so stupid they never considered reunification of parents and kids.
Anyway it's not too hard and any idiot could do it. DNA tests could take care of 99%. Hell, it's 2-3k kids, you could just put everyone in an arena and do DNA tests for uncertain cases.
