It would hardly seem as if the justice department would have any recourse (that would be adhered to) if he has already violated those rulings.

What evidence do you have of that? Did they try to arrest him? Did they try to try him for his crimes?

Should the military be sent to remove those in charge of the Connecticut firefighters because they've just been found to be in violation of Constitutional law by the Supreme Court?

Evidence of what? I have been speaking in conjecture this whole time, not asserting anything other than the President has indeed not followed the rulings of the supreme court.

I don't suppose the people in Connecticut will go against the ruling of the Supreme Court, so your point is ridiculous at best. I don't think I've even implied anywhere that actions being found to be unconstitutional is worthy of arrest. Not abiding by the ruling of the court, certainly so.

Alex, what you are saying makes complete sense. Like I said, I'm not in support of the military action....I am just wondering how best to deal with this situation when it appears that the President would seem not to care about his actions being ruled to have been in violation of the Constitution.
