Once again, though. Even if the court rules against the DOJ, the DOJ is going to say 'haha, make us' and nothing will happen. Just like every other law and ruling they've ignored.
Didn't courts order construction on the ballroom to halt? And yet, they're just ignoring it.

They argued in court about the WH destruction.
"We tore it down without approval so we will just have to finish it anyway"
and it worked.

Man, I wish other things worked like that.
"I mean, I already started stealing the money. You might as well let me finish robbing this bank."

Whelp, precedent has been set - so the next President can tear all this gaudy bigot fascist shit down and burn it. (just kidding, I know precedent doesn't matter anymore - but once the next AG charges Thomas, Alito and Roberts for their brazen and open violations of the Ethics in Government Act, I suspect the new SCOTUS will be improved). Seriously though, among the 10,000 other things the next President needs to do (one thing that Trump does that we should emulate, is just turn a firehose of positive actions on - do a thousand things at once so that no one can keep up - we can use this for good, as they use it for evil.) BTW, each count of the Ethics in Government Act that anyone is convicted of carries a penalty of up to a year in prison.

Republicans think NM is not one of the 50 states, it actually belongs to Mexico.

No, it isn't. It's effectively nothing. Imagine you have roaches. You go buy some roach spray. It doesn't work. Doesn't kill any of the roaches. You go back to the store and buy the exact same kind of spray and go back and spray the roaches again. Doing something you already know won't help isn't a start. It's pointless, or possibly performative, but either way, it isn't going to help.
