Oh no, who could have predicted this besides anyone who was paying attention?

FTA:

The Trump administration is working tirelessly to undo the accomplishments of President Joe Biden—including the ex-president’s pardons.

“The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Donald Trump posted on Truth Social within the first hour of Monday.

He can say what ever he wants, apparently, but he has to run it by a court to actually prosecute people, and we’ve already seen that the courts are not just giving him the outcomes he wants.

Hell, even the Supreme Court, as stacked as it is, isn’t just rolling over for him.

The question is what happens when he continues to just ignore court orders and rulings. Will he be held in contempt? Will there be actions to enforce the decisions of the courts?

That’s the actual question at stake at this point
