Rule of Law: Don't Obey in Advance, But Also Don't Give Up in Advance - emptywheel
Briefly

Recent developments suggest that former President Trump, amid various lawsuits, is currently complying with court orders that restrict government actions. Notably, the DOJ has filed responses indicating cooperation in maintaining Treasury payments and adhering to specific judicial directives. However, there are signals of potential defiance, especially concerning personnel changes and access to communication systems, raising questions about the administration's overall compliance with judicial mandates. As the situation evolves, the complexity of government operations under judicial scrutiny remains apparent, hinting at future challenges ahead.
The DOJ appears to be complying with at least some court orders, although conflicting reports suggest that defiance of certain orders may still occur.
Evidence from lawsuits against Trump indicates at least temporary compliance with court orders despite ongoing tensions regarding specific actions within the government.
