First, let me just say more broadly, federal courts retain an immense amount of authority under existing law to enforce court orders. They have the ability to hold parties in contempt, both civilly and criminally. They [federal courts] have the ability to impose sanctions, writs of mandamus, seizures of property. Federal courts have the ability to sanction attorneys who are members of the bar making representations to the court. All of those authorities exist today. (06:11–25:13)
