this is why the discussion about defying courts needs nuance. he’s not ignoring a court order here, but he’s acting with such clear disregard for the courts that there’s really no difference.
Literally days ago a judge slammed a very similar executive order as blatantly unconstitutional. And he just... goes and issues another one against a different law firm, again over direct personal animus.
President Trump on Friday opened a third attack against a private law firm, restricting the business activities of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison just days after a federal judge ruled such measures appeared to violate the Constitution.

Breaking news: “The government is now saying that the government will not allow the sale of the land to the government until the government is satisfied with the sale of the property and the sale of the properties to the government.” Sure seems reasonable of the government.

It’s also reaching the scale of the entire second intifada - which was over four years long - in a matter of days. And that’s not even taking into account the kidnappings. Horrifying.
A well known reporter in Israel says the number is approaching 1000. We don’t know yet how many kidnapped. Proportionally, this is multiple 9/11s, if you’re trying to gauge how far Israel is likely to go in response.
