Summary
Federal Judge Amir Ali sharply criticized the Trump administration during a Tuesday hearing for failing to comply with his 12-day-old restraining order to unfreeze USAID contract funding.
“I don’t know why I can’t get a straight answer from you,” the judge demanded, asking if funds had been unfrozen. The government lawyer responded: “I’m not in a position to answer that.”
Ali ordered USAID to pay all invoices for work performed before February 13 by midnight tomorrow and required the administration to identify officials who can testify under oath about compliance disputes.
I don’t know that because that isn’t thing.
Contempt is judicial and unpardonable, and preemptive pardons aren’t likely to be held as legitimate.
A King could preemptively absolve someone of a crime that isn’t however how our government is ran and it’s super duper unlikely the judicial would rule in favor of removing all their power altogether.

Being cynical isn’t an argument.
Contempt is, as a matter of fact, not a pardonable offense. The lawyer can be taken into custody by the court staff and held, by the courts until the contempt offense is resolved.

A judgement made by the court can be revoked and reinterpreted by the same judiciary, it’s the basis of the judicial system.
What judicial system? You have a king and it’s lackeys lol
That remains to be seen for the most part.
We certainly have an idiot with too much power, long not so much yet.
I have been, apparently that’s your best argument which is… Something I guess.
