MS NOW法律分析师安德鲁·魏斯曼表示，特朗普总统对法院命令的无视已经使国家司法体系沦为笑柄。“特朗普政府正让法院看起来像傻瓜，”他说。
MS NOW legal analyst Andrew Weissmann said President Donald Trump’s disregard for court orders has turned the nation’s justice system into a laughingstock. “The Trump administration is making the courts look like fools,” he said.
随着中期选举临近，魏斯曼警告，现在是美国法官们在为时已晚之前以“更快、更聪明”的方式行动的时候了。
With the midterm elections quickly approaching, Weissmann warned it is time for America’s judges to work “faster and smarter” before it’s too late.
“政府一次又一次地在未获许可的情况下单方面行事，有时甚至违反法院命令，”这位前司法部官员解释道。
“The administration, over and over again, is doing things unilaterally without permission and, at times, in violation of court orders,” the former Justice Department official explained.
根据美联社今年早些时候的一项分析，地方法院法官已认定第二届特朗普政府在至少31起诉讼和超过250起单独的移民案件中违反或未能遵守联邦法院命令。
According to an analysis from The Associated Press earlier this year, district court judges have found the second Trump administration violated or failed to follow federal court orders in at least 31 lawsuits and in more than 250 individual immigration cases.
当法院介入时，有时已经太晚了，魏斯曼说，他指出政府使用纳税人资金为总统投放广告。当联邦法官阻止这一努力时，已经花费了近2200万美元。
When the court does intervene, sometimes it’s already too late, Weissmann said, pointing to the administration’s use of taxpayer dollars to run ads for the president When a federal judge blocked that effort, it was only after nearly $22 million had already been spent. “Tens of millions of people saw those ads, paid for by you and me,” he said.
“数千万人看到了这些广告，这些广告是由你和我纳税人的钱支付的，”他说。
Weissmann argued that Trump’s DOJ has effectively taken a “do now and ask questions later” approach to the law.
魏斯曼认为，特朗普的司法部实际上采取了一种“先行动后提问”的法律方式。
“The court only belatedly says, ‘Hey, don’t do that.’ But the damage is already done, and you can’t put the genie back in the bottle,” he said.
“法院只会事后说，‘嘿，别那样做。’但损害已经造成，你也无法把精灵塞回瓶子里，”他说。
The former federal prosecutor said it was time for courts to be “faster and smarter” in responding to Trump’s blatantly illegal moves, and he cautioned against setting “a permission structure for this administration,” especially as the election approaches.
这位前联邦检察官表示，现在是法院在应对特朗普公然违法的举动时变得“更快、更聪明”的时候了，他警告不要为这个政府设立“许可结构”，尤其是在选举临近的时候。
“What I am worried about is: The midterms are coming up, and is this going to be a government that goes ahead and seizes ballots with the idea that we can break the chain of custody, we can make it impossible to count votes? And maybe later a court will say, ‘You shouldn’t have done that,’ but the damage will have been done,” he explained.
“我担心的是：中期选举即将到来，他们会不会采取行动夺走选票，试图打破选票保管链，使得计票变得不可能？也许之后法院会说，‘你们不该那样做’，但损害已经造成，”他解释道。
“There has to be a deterrent,” Weissmann warned.
“必须有威慑力，”魏斯曼警告说。“法院必须反应更快、更聪明，以免被特朗普玩弄于股掌之间。”
