    had been ordered to attend the hearing but did not appear

    We all tend to misunderstand law and how it’s applied. To be fair, the judge is waiting to see how the feds pursue this. That’s a normal thing, especially in a landmark case like this.

    But a court ordered no-show seems a cut and dried arrest warrant.

    As per the judgement: “You see, what most Americans simply don’t understand is that the billionaires are the law. If there is a law that they broke, no they didn’t. That is not to say that the law now goes away, it will be applied to you in force if you are not a billionaire.”

      Eh, more like “oh God I don’t want to be anywhere near this, feds please take over”

        Which is a huge problem. The people who have been tasked with shouldering the difficult decisions of our legislative and judicial systems are derelict of duty.
