Kyle Rosdahl: 我认为特朗普政府对法院裁决的反复无视可以比作芝诺悖论，即无限逼近目标却永远无法到达。从一月二十日以来，法院不断做出裁决，而特朗普政府却不断地无视这些裁决，最终导致了面临藐视法庭的指控。我详细解释了芝诺悖论，并将其与特朗普政府对法院裁决的持续违抗作类比。法官已经表明，特朗普政府的行为符合藐视法庭的条件，除非他们采取补救措施。另一个类似的案件也显示出特朗普政府对法院命令的蔑视，可能面临同样的后果。我认为Abrego-Garcia案比当前的案件更能说明问题，因为它将最终上诉至最高法院，届时我们将看到真正的考验。如果特朗普政府继续无视法院命令，司法部可能拒绝起诉，这将导致严重的宪法危机。 Kimberly Adams: 法官的裁决强烈谴责特朗普政府公然违抗法院命令的行为，认为这是对宪法的公然蔑视。特朗普政府对法院裁决的回应可能导致宪法危机，并可能上诉至最高法院。我搜索了应对宪法危机的策略，发现文章指出州政府、地方政府和民间社会是关键力量。文章认为，在宪法危机期间，州和地方政府以及民间社会是应对危机的关键力量，而联邦机构在应对当前政府的行动方面效率低下。如果特朗普政府继续无视法院命令，州和地方政府以及民间社会将是重要的应对力量。我发现了一篇布鲁金斯学会的文章，讨论了民间社会对美国宪法危机的回应，民间社会正在形成更有组织的抵抗，以应对特朗普政府对法院命令的蔑视。我们不能依赖联邦机构或法院来有效地应对特朗普政府的行为。

Since President Donald Trump took office, his administration has ignored court rulings on a range of issues from press access) to deportations). Now, a federal judge might hold him in criminal contempt of court. We’ll unpack the Zeno’s paradox of constitutional crises. Plus, where luxury goods actually come from and why you may want to think twice before buying one. And if you’re looking to zone out, turn on the “Great Moose Migration.”
