The Wall and Supreme Court Justices are the most important political issues of our time. Ever.

The proposed border wall, hereafter referred to as the "Wall", is THE political issue of the century, and here's why. The Wall prevents the influx of two major items that benefit the members of government who despise and want to enslave the people. Those two things are illegal immigrants, whose offspring vote for the party who allows them in to the "promised land", and drugs, from which a lot of very wealthy business people AND government officials are getting a cut.

The Democrats, many of which are nothing more than official criminals and their criminal friends are more than eager to compromise temporarily on any policy, tax cut, etc. because they know they will be back in power and be able to change policy back to what they want quickly. When it comes to the Wall and Supreme Court Justice appointments, suddenly the political battlefield changes dramatically.

When Supreme Court Justices are appointed, the time period for any direction in which the country is going is expanded by many, many years. When the Wall is built, the only way to change it's effect is to tear it down. That won't happen for generations. Also, a very large number of Federal employees will be required to maintain and staff the Wall and no one in Congress will want to make those jobs go away. So, both have to happen no matter what the cost, financially or politically.

If Republicans in Congress do not support this administration, or the Wall, then it is obvious they are profiting in some way from the other side financially (from illegal immigration and/or drugs) and are therefore an enemy of the people. Absolutely no other conclusion can be valid. The Wall will bring to a near halt the new voters the Democrats need to take this nation completely down to the level to which they want it to go (enslavement of the masses) and cut off a source of much of their money. If the Wall is not built and Republicans will not support Trump's Supreme Court appointments, they are TRAITORS.

No further compromise remains. Action must be taken this time or there will be no other chance to preserve this nation and its value system.

The wall/fence/barrier is important, but equally important is restoring the rule of law.
Just removing the illegal aliens already caught and convicted of other crimes will leave us with millions upon millions of other illegal aliens who just haven’t been caught and convicted of anything else yet.
There are NO “law-abiding” illegal aliens.
ALL illegal aliens MUST commit multiple crimes DAILY to continue their illegal presence.
The simplest are illegal employment, fraudulent documents and benefit fraud.
Many are driving without license and insurance and many are driving drunk.
We should not have to wait until they harm or kill Americans before they are removed.

ALL illegal aliens ARE subject to removal and should be detained and removed WHENEVER they come to the attention of ANY law enforcement. That’s what real countries do.

No elected official should be protecting illegal aliens from our laws, including President Trump.
The illegal DACA program must be ended.
One cannot criticize sanctuary cities for protecting illegal aliens from our laws while supporting DACA that does the same thing.

Supreme Court Justices or any Federal Judge:

Removing Federal Judges WITHOUT Impeachment.

Saikrishna Prakash and Steven D. Smith 116 Yale L.J. 72 (2006) Most everyone assumes that impeachment is the only means of removing federal judges and that the Constitution's grant of good-behavior tenure is an implicit reference to impeachment. This Article challenges that conventional wisdom. Using evidence from England, the colonies, and the revolutionary state constitutions, the Article demonstrates that at the Founding, good-behavior tenure and impeachment had only the most tenuous of relationships. 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. Contrary to what many might suppose, judges were not the only ones who could be granted good-behavior tenure. Anything that might be held--land, licenses, employment, etc.--could be granted during good behavior, and private parties could grant good-behavior tenure to other private individuals. Impeachment, by contrast, referred to a criminal procedure conducted in the legislature that could lead to an array of criminal sanctions. In England and in the colonies, impeachment was never seen as a means of judging whether someone with good-behavior tenure had forfeited her tenure by reason of misbehavior. Whether a landholder, employee, or government officer with good-behavior tenure had misbehaved would be determined in the ordinary courts of law. Moreover, the vast majority of state constitutions did not equate good-behavior tenure with impeachment either. To the contrary, many distinguished them explicitly. Taken together, these propositions devastate the conventional conflation of good-behavior tenure with impeachment. More importantly, they indicate that the original Constitution did NOT render impeachment THE ONLY possible means of removing federal judges with good-behavior tenure. Given the long tradition of adjudicating misbehavior in the ordinary courts,Congress may enact necessary and proper legislation permitting the removal of federal judges upon a finding of misbehavior in the ordinary courts of law.

I did not read Robert's apparent remarks during oral arguments on a case challenging an Obama action--I believe yesterday--as even necessarily indicating his vote on that case; much less a general attitude on border security. (And I am not sure whether he was being blackmailed or just trying to be cute, in his rationalization for finding Obamacare Constitutional.)

Of course, the Founding Fathers would have considered Obamacare a flagrant usurpation of power--and such it is;--as well as being utterly inane. The idea of Federal dictation in something as inherently local as medical care illustrates how far the art of rational analysis has fallen in contemporary America, thanks to the systematic dumbing down of our "educational" institutions.
