2. Sorry, all due respect to the judge

The order is not worth the paper it's written on.
There is no way to enforce it.
If a member of Congress shows up at a facility, is refused access, then what? They tell the judge? So what. Then what? It would take a week or more for them to act and even then what are they going to do?

I've been trying to make the point, for weeks, that there is no enforcement mechanism because the DOJ , DHS will just shrug their collective shoulders and keep doing what they are doing because there is no practical way to make the this version of the government do anything.
