I was thinking the same thing... border wall, deportations, defunding sanctuary cities, etc.
This was posted on another thread.

I have not had a chance to read it and not being a lawyer cannot comment on it. Perhaps someone else has.
“Good-behavior tenure was forfeitable upon a judicial finding of misbehavior. There would have to be a trial, the hearing of witnesses, and the introduction of evidence, with misbehavior proved by the party seeking to oust the tenured individual.”
I suppose who brings the case, who would conduct the trial and what constitutes misbehavior would be discussed in the article. Sounds like a judicial trial could be used to remove a judge.
Impeach is the road, frail are the Congress and Senate that must travel upon it.
I really don’t think these folks have thought this through. Congress can be forced into really putting a muzzle on the courts & also start impeaching judges. More and more people are going to see this for what it obviously is.
This is exactly what is going to happen EVERY thing Trump tries to do is going to sent to the Judiciary grind. Best case is everything will be slowed to a crawl. Worst much of what he tries to do will be stopped.
>So what can be done about it?
Congress can impeach them, but they won’t. If they continue to obstruct then it’s time to ignore them.
Courts are overstepping their bounds, daring him to defy them, so they can shoot for impeachment.
Go to the Supreme Court, and if they screw the law, Trump should continue to bang the drum of unelected liberal justices taking over the country. Take it to the people, and get your judges on the bench.
If and when the point is reached where there are judges that just automatically block his executive orders, he should clearly state his case to the people and announce that he will interpret their rulings with the same latitude they use to interpret the constitution--and then simply ignore them. He swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to uphold rulings by rogue courts.
“What is to stop Federal judges from blocking everything Trump does?”
Not a thing.
Just wait until he is pushed into disobeying a court order.
That’s what Ryan and McConnell are waiting for.
They can’t stay in their courtrooms forever.
Can Trump sign 50 EO’s every week and overwhelm them?
The problem is that there is no place to get 100 lawyers with a traditional, Originalist view of the Constitution. No law school teaching traditional Originalist legal theory would maintain its accreditation.
Then the push for impeachment, defunding, abolishing, and splitting lawless courts apart. They’d get their deserved comeuppance.
And more conservative supreme court justices.
The globalists will not be denied.
Its official summary:
This bill divides the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit into: (1) a new Ninth Circuit, to be composed of California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands; and (2) a newly established Twelfth Circuit, to be composed of Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada.The bill designates locations where the new circuits are to hold regular sessions.
The bill distributes active circuit judges of the former Ninth Circuit to the new circuits. Circuit judges and senior circuit judges currently stationed in Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, or Nevada may elect their circuit assignment. For each circuit judge in regular service who elects to be assigned to the new Ninth Circuit, the President shall appoint one additional circuit judge for the Twelfth Circuit.
Actually, this 9th Circuit event has caused me to want Cruz on the bench. There is no doubt about his stand on my key issues and there is no doubt that he’s a fighter and couldn’t care less about stare decisis. Something about this G guy has me very worried.
Once again, it doesn't matter a whit what the constitution actually means, or what a myriad of laws, rules, regulations, EOs, directives, etc say, if the judiciary is able to interpret without restraint from Congress.
Oh, sure, there's been all kinds of gnashing of teeth and heated proclamations regarding Congressional oversight, but have any judges been impeached? Have any courts inferior to the SC been chastised? No and no. Thinks it's going to happen in the near future? LOL The courts are currently operating exactly the way Congress intends: as an ally to preserve the status quo and thwart any reform efforts Trump attempts to make.
Let's use the example you provided above to illustrate how the current situation would currently play out: a federal district court would rule in favor of a competing constitutional claim and negate the very language included in the law just passed.
Trump decides to ignore the court ruling, assuming Congress has his back. Congress then moves to impeach on the grounds of contempt of court. You see how this works? The name of the game isn't what Congress says or does. Rather, it actually comes down to the composition of the individuals in the legislative body.
It's way too risky for Trump to let this prematurely enter the realm of impeachment. His/our enemies are currently way too strong to take that chance. Rather, he needs to get back out on the campaign trail by targeting a multitude vulnerable districts.
This is his really true strength: to speak directly to the American people by using the bully pulpit to explain what is occurring, and how the issue can be resolved. That is, unless the courts rule that Trump can no longer travel and/or speak on behalf or in opposition to congressional candidates. (LOL - sort of)
Make an example of some of these activist judges, stat. They’ve been overstepping their bounds for far too long.
What is to stop liberal judges.
Start exposing them no judge is 100% clean.
