Judge Taylor enjoins Bush
Today, Judge Anna Digs Taylor refused to stay her ruling to enjoin the Bush Administration from continuing it's NSA eavesdropping program until it can be appealed to the Circuit Court. That means that, beginning in five days Bush must stop unless the Appeals Court steps in to stay the injunction, which it probably will. But, what if it doesn't. Does anyone really believe that Bush would stop just because a court enjoined him from something? I certainly don't.
Suppose he essentially tells Taylor to go to hell, he's going to proceed whether she likes it or not. Suppose she then finds him in contempt of Court and orders him jailed. That would be a truly interesting Constitutional crisis. Unfortunately, Bush might well win.
Question, would the military support him against the Courts? I don't know, but I suspect the answer is yes.
This is a spooky as it gets folks.
