Yes. But isn’t Beowulf known for ripping that arm off, not throwing Grendel?

Ugh.
“A big buck with a set of antlers can do a lot of damage,” Wagner said.
Shiery and Jenkins strongly disagree with that assessment.
Baby was never violent, they say, and his antlers were removed.
So they mutilated the deer, and that makes it ok? Please let wild animals stay in the wild. I’m also amazed that the MAGA crowd is defending this woman. Normally, aren’t they for hunting deer, not keeping them as pets? Hell, Kristi Noem shoots her own pets.

Isn’t that the point, though? Animals are property and can be done with as humans please, and government has no say. Tame them, abuse them, mutilate them, kill them. It does not matter. Gubmint evil is all that does.

Ok, I know I’m not yet a lawyer, and that article was written by a law professor, but I think he’s dreaming. Here’s the relevant parts of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure he’s talking about:
Rule 4.1. Serving Other Process
(a) In General. Process—other than a summons under Rule 4 or a subpoena under Rule 45 —must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose. It may be served anywhere within the territorial limits of the state where the district court is located and, if authorized by a federal statute, beyond those limits. Proof of service must be made under Rule 4( l ) .
(b) Enforcing Orders: Committing for Civil Contempt. An order committing a person for civil contempt of a decree or injunction issued to enforce federal law may be served and enforced in any district. Any other order in a civil-contempt proceeding may be served only in the state where the issuing court is located or elsewhere in the United States within 100 miles from where the order was issued.
So that “or by a person specially appointed for that purpose” part? That means a process server. Like, that person who ambushes you somewhere, hands you a manilla envelope, and says “you’ve been served.” That person. They’re very rarely US marshals. They’re licensed process servers.
Now, as far as (b) goes, does that person who can enforce a civil contempt degree have the power of arrest? I don’t think so. Not unless they’re a US marshal. If he’s wanting the court to be able to send someone out to arrest someone who’s under a civil contempt decree, that’s going to have to be someone in law enforcement, not a process server. And anyone at the federal level with the power to arrest someone is going to be under the Attorney General, ultimately, not the courts.

Interesting how much a standard 22 minute cartoon can pack in. Saying a whole lot, in a short time, in an entertaining way.

Yup. Or whistling in the dark, or grasping at straws, or what have you.
This only works if “rule of law” is still a thing.
Courts appoint some sort of bailiffs, AG has them put away, checkmate.
