Once one judge stands up and throws one of them in jail, they all will, except those infected with the Trump mind virus.

I really wish the court could just take the MFer into custody right then and there. Hell, maybe they can, but they don't for some reason.

Sorry, there is no penalty for these guys to defy the law. The MAGA governor will give him a pardon.

It would be so great if there were some actual consequences this time.

And get him a job in the Trump administration.

'dennny??! you got some esplainin ta doo!'

Hope they put his arse in jail for thirty days. He needs to eat homemade jailhouse Humble Pie fed to him by the biggest bull in pen.
