I thought I could stop asking this for at least the next four years, but...is it time to start shootin’ ‘em yet?
He is waiting for that 5th USSC Justice!
Federal courts enjoined many things that Obama tried to do (including his DACA attempt to amnesty illegals by executive order). Setting a precedent for ignoring court orders is probably not a good idea.
If the Democrats controlled the House and the Senate and also the Presidency, do you think they would have a problem with nominations? The problem is that Ryan and McConnel are really Democrats.
I don’t think Trump has enough of the right kinds of attorneys working for him now. They have been unable to over turn most of these judicial roadblocks to improved border control.
I don’t think Mr. Sessions expected the prolonged challenges from both progressives and RINOs, challenges and invented lies coming forth, boldly, with no shame, humlity or great negative consequence. Perhaps he thought after the election were won by Trump, surely by then, all those pesky troublemakers would eventually hush up and fall in line with their president.
He’s still not making many ripples in the water.
John Bohener might say Sessions must still be ‘takin a nap!’
This may be the key right here.
Waiting for Gorsuch.
If so, I just need to be more patient.
I just hate seeing the dems get away with so much uninterrupted, unchallenged by the GOP.
realx
this is going to the supreme court as soon as trump gets his man in ...
result 5-4 in favor of trump...
He needs Gorsuch on SCOTUS first because he will probably need SCOTUS to reign in the Ninth Circus.
I can only conclude he is putting all the chips on the SC fixing this. In so doing he will be playing whack a mole with his entire agenda. I’d say we are days away from some judges saying no to the holding the funds to sanctuary cites then the climate EO then the wall then... he has ceded executive power to the Judiciary. And what if he loses at the SC or the Rats block Gorsuch? It really is catastrophic what is happening here. Is Trump a paper tiger?
Bump to ending the tyranny of the black robes.
Which means that the Judicial branch has more power than the other two branches, combined.
Not yet.
Last I heard, Gorsuch’s confirmation is expected early next week.
Really, Trump should just ignore the order and order his executive branch officials (who answer only to him) to enforce his policy.
What is the judge going to do? Send his private army to DC to enforce his decision?
It's a "huge mess" that needs cleaning up, and when the clean-up starts, it will become "unpleasant" for a while.
There actually is a legitimate question about how much federal funding can be withheld from sanctuary cities. The original Obamacare statute would have withheld all Medicaid funding from states that didn't expand Medicaid in accordance with Obamacare; the Supreme Court, in the same decision that upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate, struck down that portion of the statute on the grounds that it was too "coercive" of state governments.
Lets see if he starts his counter-offensive after that!
There has to be a stone in it though.
“Federal courts enjoined many things that Obama tried to do (including his DACA attempt to amnesty illegals by executive order). Setting a precedent for ignoring court orders is probably not a good idea.”
Yet Obama DID ignore the ruling. Do you not remember the Obama administrations “mistake” by continuing issue over 100,000 DACA permits? The Judge ruled the DOJ had been “intentionally deceptive” to the court and ordered dozens of DOJ lawyers to take ethics classes.
