Can someone please explain why the courts are apparently powerless to issue punishment/consequences when their orders are defied?
This hand-wringing is pathetic. It makes me pessimistic about the role of the judiciary in the 2026 elections when the trump thugs will be oppressing voters.

It would have had better reviews if it included tons of photos/videos of her when she was a softcore model.
Sorry for stating the obvious.

Dude, you won't have a "day in court." It will be yet another TACO moment that the thugs hope the media won't cover, the day they hear a judge dismiss the charges.
Keep going forward, my man. Give us a glimmer of hope.

Why is there no enforcement mechanism for punishing failure to provide all the files at once? Why so gleeful at these trickling redacted fragments?

Next time trump is arrested, treat him like a common criminal: Handcuffs, cavity search, orange jumpsuit, and put him in with the other criminals in a holding cell.
Can't wait for 2029, when that will happen.
Hopefully, in numerous states.
Maybe even numerous other countries.

"[t]hey're not good at it."
Oh, whoops, I thought he was talking about the people in Congress who pass laws that have virtually consequences for violations. Such as in this case.
I guess hand-wringing is an effective form of enforcement. Put Sen. Collins in charge. That'll pay dividends.

Wow, he's threatening to issue more "show cause" orders that will, no doubt, be ignored as have been every other order from that court. With no repercussions and no penalties.
Sort of like a Congressional subpoena: Ignore without fear.

Did he also attach an appendix listing all the consequences they suffered for their violations?
Wait, let me guess: Yet another stern warning. And that's it.

And what exactly are the remedies available for this failure to comply with the statute?
I've seen no one discuss that aspect. It seems hand-wringing and complaining are the two remedies most are choosing. Perhaps those are the only choices and the statute is toothless.

Maybe they can adopt flat fee rules for different zones within the muni. Other cities have implemented flat fees and the taxis are very competitive with the Lyft/Uber type rides, especially during peak demand periods.

And if you're not seeing SCOTUS for what it now is, you're ignoring what will happen when trump declares that the military and ICE will ensure that 2026 will have "fair" elections. The stage is set for an ugly November, aided and abetted by the most unethical, corrupt SCOTUS ever.

For god's sake, would you get off this "malignant narcissist" crap? You've been pounding that drum for more than 8 years. We get it. He's mentally ill. We've heard it and heard it and heard it.
No sane person disputes this. Find something that will resonate.

Sounds like a fairly toothless law if there's no one to enforce it and apparently anyone can violate it with impunity.

You've beaten the narcissist thing to a pulp. I really doubt anyone who cares hasn't heard it hundreds of times. Give it a rest and focus on the criminal and civil liabilities. You're bumping your gums to no purpose with this stuff.

If you're running as a "conservative," sorry, I've had all the "conservative" crap I can stomach for a lifetime.
You were a trump enabler. You will never convince me - and, hopefully, anyone else - that you're worthy of a seat in Congress.
Get lost.
