@CatHerder The ruling is beyond disappointing. It's my understanding that the judges basically said that the judiciary branch has no right to interfere with executive branch decisions, even if they are in contempt.
I may be oversimplifying, but a decision like this seems to undermine the concept of checks and balances.
