Elon Musk is about to get 'checked' by the very courts he wants to ignore: legal expert

Raw Story  

Political officials and analysts are raising concerns about a potential constitutional crisis: what if President Donald Trump refuses to comply with a court ruling? I'll use the MOST extreme federal judge out there because he makes this point clear: Matthew Kacsmaryk," wrote litigator Dilan Esper from the Washington, D.C. firm Harder Stonerock. He thinks if someone were to ask whether Kacsmaryk thinks Elon Musk should follow court orders, even he would agree. "The point being, a strategy by Musk of just ignoring the law and ignoring the courts would engender MASSIVE pushback from the federal courts. "What do you think happens to Tesla or Twitter or SpaceX in all their civil cases in federal courts if Musk becomes The Guy Who Disobeys Federal Court Orders?
