From the conclusion:
Over a century ago, author and sometime logician Lewis Carroll guided readers through the looking glass. Among the adventures there, we encounter a character who boasts of his mastery of words: “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” The answer then, as now, is no. Litigants cannot change the plain meaning of words as it suits them, especially when conveying a court’s clear and unambiguous order. Fidelity to the rule of law can have no other meaning.
Therefore, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Court finds Uthmeier in civil contempt of the Court’s April 18th Order (DE 49) requiring Defendants to provide actual notice of the TRO to any law enforcement officer with power to enforce S.B. 4-C.
2. Uthmeier shall FILE BI-WEEKLY REPORTS detailing whether any arrests, detentions, or law enforcement actions pursuant to S.B. 4-C have occurred, and if so, how many, when, and by which law enforcement agency. The first report shall be filed on or before July 1, 2025. Further, If Defendants learn of any arrests pursuant to S.B. 4-C, Uthmeier shall file notice informing the Court of the details of the arrests immediately. Uthmeier may seek modification or termination of this reporting requirement after six months.
Here's the order:

Again, what judge would not do this? This should not even be news. Try this with Judge Moreno, Judge Moore, Judge Ungaro, Judge King, or Judge Altonaga to openly defy their court ruling as if it was a joke and then mock the judge while doing it. Judge Williams should not be treated or written about any different yet she will.
For everyone's homework for tomorrow, I want a 5 page brief on Arizona vs The United States. Justice Kennedy wrote the majority opinion striking down Arizona's immigration law that gave state officers powers to arrest people for federal immigration violations. There seems to be confusion on this blog.
Not sure comparing oneself to humpty d is a power move. Should have gone with jimmy buffet:
“Full moon, so soon
Wishin' every month of the year could be June
Clichés, good ways
To say what you mean, mean what you say
What is news is not what a federal judge has done, but what an attorney general has done -- seemingly defying a court order.
