Temporary child protection facilities in major cities hit capacity as staff shortages deepen
Extended stays by children who have nowhere else to go also compound the problem.The Japan Times
Bisschen interessant wie irrierend für manche in meinem Umfeld ist, dass ich mich nicht neugierig freudig voller Spaß und Sorglosigkeit mit KI befasse.
Die meisten gehen da mit einer Ergebenheit rein, die mich echt fassungslos macht. "KI ist jetzt halt da, man kommt nicht mehr drum rum, deshalb ... Dann wenigstens mit Spaß"

Our children have no lived memory of catastrophic dataloss.
They’ve always had autosave, web sync, version control, undo. They’ve never lost hours or worse to ctrl-a+s or scoured a drive for ~$*.doc, never heard the click of death or sat in silence as photorec or ddrescue ran, hoping for a miracle.
They've lived without entropy's teeth at their necks. But we didn't teach them how hard it was to cast out that monster, and why. And now the beast has learned flattery.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Plaintiffs say #DOJ lawyers & the agencies they represent are snubbing rulings, providing false information, failing to turn over evidence, quietly working around court orders & inventing pretexts to carry out actions that have been blocked.

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have often agreed. None have taken punitive action to try to force #compliance, however, allowing the admin’s defiance of orders to go on for weeks or even months in some instances.
Outside #legal analysts say #courts typically are slow to begin #contempt proceedings for #noncompliance,
especially while their rulings are under appeal.

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Judges also are likely to be concerned, analysts say, that the US #Marshals Service — whose director is appointed by the president — might not serve subpoenas or take recalcitrant govt ofcls into custody if ordered to by the courts.

in reply to Nonilex • • •The allegations against the admin are crystallized in a #whistleblower complaint filed to #Congress late last month that accused #DOJ ofcls of ignoring court orders in #immigration cases, presenting #legal arguments with no basis in the #law & misrepresenting facts. #SCOTUS Justice Sonia #Sotomayor also chided the admin, writing that #Trump ofcls had “openly flouted” a judge’s order not to deport migrants to a country where they did not have citizenship.

in reply to Nonilex • • •The Post examined 337 lawsuits filed against the admin since #Trump returned to the White House & began a rapid-fire effort to reshape government programs & policy. As of mid-July, #courts had ruled against the admin in 165 of the lawsuits. The Post found that the admin is accused of defying or frustrating court oversight in 57 of those cases — almost 35%.

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Trump officials deny defying court orders, even as they accuse those who have issued them of “judicial tyranny.” When #SCOTUS in June restricted the circumstances under which presidential policies could be halted nationwide while they are challenged in court, Trump hailed the ruling as halting a “colossal abuse of power.”

in reply to Nonilex • • •…Retired federal judge & fmr #Watergate special prosecutor Paul Michel compared the situation to the summer of 1974, when #SCOTUS ordered President #Nixon to turn over Oval Office recordings as part of the Watergate investigation. Nixon initially refused, prompting fears of a #ConstitutionalCrisis, but ultimately complied.
“The current challenge is even bigger & more complicated because it involves hundreds of actions, not one subpoena for a set of tapes. We’re in new territory.”
#Trump #law
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •…“The #courts can’t enforce their own rulings — that has to be done by the executive branch,” said Michel, the fmr judge & Watergate special prosecutor.
He was referring to US #Marshals, the #ExecutiveBranch law enforcement personnel who carry out court orders related to #contempt proceedings, whether that is serving subpoenas or arresting officials whom a judge has ordered jailed for not complying.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Former #judges & other #legal experts said judges might be calculating that a confrontation over #contempt proceedings could result in the administration ordering #marshals to defy the #courts. That type of standoff could significantly undermine the #authority of judges.

in reply to Nonilex • • •The #SCOTUS June decision to scale back the ability of lower #courts to issue #NationwideInjunctions, & the administration’s success at persuading the justices to overturn about a dozen temporary blocks on its agenda in recent months, might only embolden #Trump officials to defy lower courts, several #legal experts said.
#law #judiciary #Constitution #democracy #SeparationOfPowers #Autocracy #AbuseOfPower
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •Justice #Sotomayor echoed that concern in a recent dissent when she accused #SCOTUS of “rewarding lawlessness” by allowing #Trump officials to deport immigrants to countries that are not their homelands. The conservative majority gave the green light, she noted, after Trump officials twice carried out deportations despite lower court orders blocking the moves.

in reply to Nonilex • • •“This is not the first time the court closes its eyes to noncompliance, nor, I fear, will it be the last,” #Sotomayor wrote. “Yet each time this court rewards noncompliance with discretionary relief, it further erodes respect for #courts & for the rule of #law.”

in reply to Nonilex • • •2 months after a federal court temporarily blocked Trump’s freeze on billions in congressionally approved #ForeignAid, an attorney for relief orgs said the govt had taken “literally zero steps to allocate this money.”
Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, has ordered the admin to explain what it is doing to comply w/the order. #Trump ofcls have said they will eventually release the funds, but #aid groups worry the admin is simply trying to delay until the allocations expire in the fall.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Such situations have prompted some former #judges to do something most generally do not—speak out.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Robert J. Cindrich, who helped found the group, said the country is not yet in a #ConstitutionalCrisis [really?] but that the strain on the courts is immense. Citing the admin’s response to orders, as well as its attacks on judges & law firms, Cindrich said, “The judiciary is being put under siege.”
