UH OH......Chicago Federal judge orders Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino into her courtroom Tuesday

[634-5789]

After two days of tear gas deployment from Little Village to Lake View, a federal judge has ordered the public face of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement campaign, Gregory Bovino, into her courtroom at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who has shown increasing frustration with the feds’ tactics and already ordered lower-ranking officials into court, fired off a terse, two-sentence order Friday afternoon after agents turned their attention to Chicago’s North Side.

She set a status hearing in an ongoing lawsuit for Tuesday morning. And, she ordered the Trump administration “to produce Defendant Gregory Bovino, in person, for this hearing.”

1. Why do Republicans piss on the Rule of Law?

...as if you didn't know already.

2. And if he doesn't show up....?

Perhaps via an Executive Order requiring him to be on duty 24/7, etc. Then what?

3. Law and order, tough on crime Repuglicans my ass.

As Rachel Maddow says, believe what they do, not what they say. A convicted felon cult leader sets the tone. The rest follow his example, from Blondie Bondi right on down to your neighborhood MAGAt trash. There is no law they won't break, no order they won't disrupt.

4. To paraphrase Louis XIV

In Trumpland, it’s “La loi, c’est moi!”

He’d probably prefer the original, “l’État, c’est moi” but that involves a word with TWO syllables. Don’t wanna be unreasonable here….,

5. It is about time. Get them on the record for the tribunal.

Just kidding. Doubt there will ever be one. The US will just sink into irrelevance.
