旁白: 本集探讨了特朗普政府对法院命令的回应，以及此类行为是否构成对美国司法体系的挑战。事件涉及政府将委内瑞拉人遣返至萨尔瓦多，以及一名黎巴嫩医生被遣返，尽管法院已下令其出庭。白宫新闻秘书的回应含糊其辞，对口头命令的法律效力提出质疑，引发了人们对政府是否遵守法院命令的担忧。萨尔瓦多总统对法院命令的回应带有嘲讽意味，美国国务卿马可·卢比奥转发了该回应。政府律师表示，边境巡逻人员直到遣返医生后才得知法院的命令。政府官员曾攻击联邦法官，暗示法院无权否决行政部门的行动。 Ari Shapiro: 特朗普政府的行为是否构成对法院的公然蔑视？虽然特朗普尚未公开违抗法院命令，但他是否可以通过“打擦边球”来削弱法院权威？ Amanda Frost: 目前行政部门尚未公开表示可以违反或无需遵守法院命令，因此尚未构成宪法危机。然而，政府的行为方式令人担忧，他们似乎故意以法院难以跟上的速度行事。政府在委内瑞拉案件中援引《敌侨法》的行为，没有给法院足够的时间来阻止遣返行动。政府的行为影响了司法部门的工作效率，但最受影响的是行政部门本身。政府的申请草率，充满不准确之处，缺乏必要的信息来告知法官正在发生的事情。他们正在未能履行其在法院面前的职责，结果是他们输掉了大多数此类案件。乐观来看，法院和行政部门最终会解决法律问题，行政部门会遵守判决；悲观来看，政府可能会公然蔑视法律。对当前局势的看法不一，有人认为已经深陷宪法危机，也有人认为需要等待。美国曾经经历过类似的危机并最终渡过难关，例如布什诉戈尔案。她担心这次的情况不同，但不会在政府明确越线之前宣布制度崩溃。如果美国社会普遍认为政府的行为是可以接受的，那么美国将失去法院作为法律最终裁决者的地位。

"Oopsie, too late. "That post on X from the President of El Salvador got retweeted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the weekend with a laugh-crying emoji over a headline about a judge's ruling. The judge ordered the Trump Administration not to deport Venezuelans to El Salvador. That came after a Brown University physician in the United States on an H1-B visa from Lebanon was sent back. Even though a federal judge issued an order that she appear at an in-person hearing on Monday.In a court filing today, lawyers for the government said US Customs and Border Patrol officers said they didn't learn of the order until after the doctor was sent back.The administration insists it is not defying court orders. Trump hasn't yet openly and explicitly defied the courts. Can he undermine them just by flirting with defiance?For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org).Email us at [email protected]).Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
