NPR missed an important point that Trump, in his quest for ever-greater power, is once again ignoring a judicial ruling:
“In another case, Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a preliminary ruling blocking the three plaintiffs’ transfer to a men’s facility, saying they had ‘straightforwardly demonstrated that irreparable harm will follow.’”
“While the transfers likely would not be seen as directly flouting the judge’s order, David Super, a Georgetown law professor, said they would clearly violate the spirit of Judge Lamberth’s ruling that such a transfer would most likely violate the Constitution’s ban on ‘cruel and unusual punishment.’
“‘Historically, administrations do not do things that an active court order declares unlawful,’ he said.”
