some dude probably doesn't want to risk losing his job, so he's waiting until further orders

If true, he sure as shit should lose it now.

About a half dozen more just on "constitutional crisis" .  Haven't searched the rest yet.

there's another salon article out there that blames the delay at dulles on chaos, so I dunno which article trumps the other

but I will concede some non-reputable news sources have released hysterical articles calling this a constitutional crisis

The Daily Beast was quoting Senator Booker.  Are you saying they got the quotes wrong?

Why are y'all engaging the troll?

The only excuse is being bored. Apart from that let him stew in his own feces.

LaCroix

oh no, I saw a handful of democratic politicians call this a constitutional crisis on twitter, etc. that's just politics, though. the executive flatly ignoring the judiciary would probably be one of the craziest things to ever happen in the history of the country. so, when someone here posts that's happening, it's hysterical AF unless it's actually going down.

it's clearly not happening with this incident. there are too many facts showing efforts to comply.

Dude, this is Languish--douchebaggery here is practically encouraged.  But you're getting on Seedy's nerves, which probably isn't the best place to be.
