The judge needs to put random words in his order in ALL CAPS, with bigger font and an exclamation point in order to show how super duper serious they are. Because Trump needs to understand what this judge would do if he had actual balls or enforcement power.
I do wonder how the judge would react if the next filing just read “It is the opinion of both the Department of Justice and the United States Supreme Court that a sitting President cannot be charged with a crime or even investigated for official acts taken during his term in office. Further, President Trump believes that the justice system erroneously gave itself oversight power in Maybury vs. Madison, which is not actually granted in the Constitution, and their rulings are merely advisory rulings with no enforcement power. With all of those factors considered, President Trump does not believe his compliance with these court orders is required and any further actions by this court needs to be postponed until after 2028 as the courts will have no authority over President Trump until that time. This will be the Trump Administration’s final filing in this matter.”
I mean, it’s the legal equivalent of “You’ve made your decision, now let’s see you enforce it.” But we’re at that point already, even if neither side has actually said the words. Might as well rip the bandaid off and get it over with. The courts are going to give orders. Trump is going to give the middle finger. Ok. We get it.
Now what? Can we just get to the “Now what?” already?

Go after the people carrying out his orders. They’re not immune
Until Trump pardons them.

So what? Sitting in a holding cell until then could still motivate a change in behavior.
And even if you don’t think that’s likely, don’t you agree that we should at least try it and see?
That is the other kind of contempt.
Does a pardon exempt that person from losing their clearance, or otherwise work for the fed?
State kidnapping charges?
