Windflier: “At some point he’s got to exert his legal authority, and slap these treasonous bastards down himself.”
At some point Congress needs to exert their legal authority and slap these rogue judges down. The fix must come from Congress. This district court judge is probably getting a real kick out of the way he’s thwarted the will of tens of millions of Americans who support Trump.
It’s not like we don’t know the game that’s being played. The left upholds the letter of the law only when it serves their purposes. If they don’t win elections, they run to the courts. If they don’t win in the courts, they run to the streets. All they care about is getting their way, and they are willing to ruin civil society in the process.
Would any of us sit down to play a game of Monopoly against someone who changes the rules as they go or simply takes whatever they want from the bank? No, but that’s the situation in America today. They’ve stacked the proverbial deck.
However, the political left should be warned that once the rest of America wakes up and realizes how badly the game is rigged, they’ll stop playing.
Congress has already granted the President 100% control and authority over immigration. It's not their job to rescue a president who won't exercise that legal authority.
No offense, but you're advocating a terrible precedent. If statute law and the Constitution itself aren't enough to give the President absolute authority over a particular area of governance, then the presidency is merely a ceremonial position.
