This week's parasha includes the famous phrase
צדק צדק תרדוף
"#Justice! Pursue justice!" (Deut. 16:20)
What does this mean in practice? Well, the preceding verse gives us a clue:
לא־תטה משפט לא תכיר פנים ולא־תקח שחד כי השחד יעור עיני חכמים ויסלף דברי צדיקם
"You shall not judge unfairly: you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning and upset the plea of the just." (Deut. 16:19)
To my understanding, #Christians accept the "moral commandments" (as opposed to "ritual commandments") of the #Torah. My question then is: why are so many self-proclaimed Christians—like, say, just as a totally random example, #JusticeThomas, or, another entirely random example, the current occupant of the White House—so willing to transgress these commandments?

Background:
US District Judge Boasberg issued a TRO prohibiting the government from deporting #migrants under the Alien Enemies Act (passed in 1798 as part of the legislative package historians refer to as the Alien & Sedition Acts).
In an extraordinary move (albeit one that this administration is frequently employing), defendants (the government) appealed the TRO. A TRO (temporary restraining order) is normally not appealable.
Result:
Today, a 2-1 ruling by a panel of the US #Court of #Appeals for the District of Columbia slammed the government's case, finding it "unlikely" that the government would prevail in a full hearing on the merits. The court declined to reverse the TRO.
The dissenter is a judge appointed by #RedDon in his first term.
This is all procedural jousting. Though highly consequential, it's preliminary to a hearing and final judgement on the merits of the suit itself.
