"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fuck. I'm seeing instances of the Dept. of Homeland Security not complying with the Federal judge orders to stay the immigration ban.
Which is to say...they are not following the rule of law and answering only to the Executive.
I didn't think we'd have a civil war or military coup before February.

That is the scariest part of this. The courts are only a bulwark (for now) if their rulings are respected by agencies. That changes and it's a free for all.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
So, I mean, what's the next step? If the DHS doesn't abide by the court's decision, who enforces that? Who should we be putting pressure on now?

Not to mention that he can start appointing people to the courts. So soon....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm tempted to just make a sockpuppet Twitter account and correct assholes' grammar. I know it would accomplish nothing, but it's something I can do! And it would make me feel better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can't seem to wear colors anymore, and I actually bought a whole bunch of black clothes, because everytime I go to put on one of my colorful joyful dresses, I just can't.
Very Wishverse. I am wearing more greys and blacks myself, although some days I actively choose to dress optimistically

Can the whole administration be impeached? Checks and balances gotta happen somehow. Right?

US Marshalls enforce Federal Judicial orders. I don't think we want to see an armed stand off between US Marshalls and Dept. of Homeland Security officers.
But I think mostly, Trump's order was so ill written, and poorly conceived, and uncommunicated that it has caused complete chaos as to what various agencies should do.
So, Bannon, is basically Wormtonguing away at Trump and pushed this order out. And Bannon - who avowedly wants to destroy the entire government - is probably enjoying the chaos.
