1. My guess
None, but hopefully I will be surprised.

2. She can issue contempt of court citations and fine offenders

the fines can compound each day the official remains in contemp of the court order.

7. Out of what bank account do such fines come from?
Better, I think, would be a citation of contempt, which might be able to be used in impeachment hearings.

3. Contempt of Court?
Just guessing here, and don't know what penalties might ensue.

4. Who gave the GOP a fresh pack of "Get Out of Jail Free" cards?
Time to update that Monopoly graphic going around...

6. Pretty much nothing
I think these TROs are just for show. As you can see they are accomplishing nothing. This way the judge can say she's doing all she can, and the WI fascists can go on their merry way.

8. She can find individuals in contempt
And thus fine them and jail them. Money would come from their own pocketbook, not the state's.
