Judge declares Trump may have broken the law, but she has no authority to stop him, even from breaking it again
...this is bizarre.

JUST IN: Judge Reyes has *denied* the legal effort by fired inspectors general to reclaim their jobs. Trump may have broken the law by firing them, she says, but she has no authority to reinstate them — and Trump could remove them again in 30 days anyway.
So the law is proving to be an imposture, transformed into a farcical tool of Donald Trump, as every suspension of actual punishment by the courts bends toward the person they say is committing the crime, and not the victims.
These fired IGs have no future other than, at best, becoming stuck in a limbo of reinstatement and firing? What about sanctioning the administration until they back off of the firings without cause, and sanction them with escalating fines if they try to remove these IGs again.
The claim that the court is powerless to do anything about these positions lost is an absurdity, a sad display of cowardice and abandonment of the victims to the admitted criminal.

could remove a Supreme Court Justice by any means necessary without facing consequences because he/she has immunity and there would be no way to enforce a reversal decided by the courts?
Rhetorical question?
