Please excuse this brief interruption. If a federal district judge can appoint prosecutors to charge criminal contempt when DOJ declines to do so, we should consider these too:

A new law! If a federal judge does not issue a ruling within 365 days of argument, the President shall write and publish the court’s opinion in their place. LOVE IT!

Another one! Congress may nullify any federal court decision by a two-thirds vote within 90 days of issuance. SWEET.

OP I’m going to try and be nice and assume you just don’t litigate…but courts traditionally have the power to initiate contempt cases, civil or criminal, as part of a fully constitutional exercise of their judicial authority. There is Supreme Court precedent - in fact, you can be held in contempt of a court order even if that order is found invalid, and a judge can hold you in contempt even for actions occurring outside the courtroom. This is not judicial overreach, this is literally part of their AIII powers.

Federal judges must submit draft opinions on constitutional matters to the relevant Congressional committees 30 days before publication for review and comment. WOW!

If Congress fails to pass legislation responding to a national emergency within 60 days, the President may enact temporary laws by executive order, valid for one year. SOUNDS GOOD!

If the Supreme Court fails to issue a decision in a case within 7 months of oral argument, the President may issue an ‘interim constitutional interpretation’ that has binding effect until the Court rules. GRRRRREAT!
