The federal courts have shut down our ENTIRE government
Conservative Review ^ | 12/27/2018 | Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 12/28/2018 9:28:56 AM PST by Rusty0604

Amid the imbroglio over a partial furloughing of nonessential workers in a handful of federal departments, the political class has ignored that the government has already been shut down – in full and permanently. Individual district judges now control our national sovereignty, border policy, and every other political question. And now Chief Justice John Roberts has essentially barred the doors of the Supreme Court shut to any judicial redress of this judicial crisis

One district judge said that children must be released. Then another one said parents must be released with the children. Then a district judge in D.C. said the definition of asylum must be expanded to Obama’s policy, beyond an individual fear of persecution. Now a district judge is being allowed to sustain a ruling that Trump can’t even request that they come to the points of entry

In once again allowing the lower courts to reign freely, Roberts is not only perpetuating the shutdown of our border but the shutdown of the Supreme Court itself. What is the purpose of the Supreme Court if it only encroaches on the powers of the other branches but won’t police its own inferior courts when they violate all legal norms? Let’s review the unprecedented insanity of this case:

1) Four left-wing advocacy groups were given standing to sue on behalf of caravans that are literally not even in our country simply because they asserted that their institutions must expend more resources educating their clients on the new policy. It would be equivalent to Conservative Review obtaining standing because we have to expend more resources explaining the new policies we don’t like to our readers. This is perhaps the most absurd violation of Article III standing in recent memory, yet Roberts allows it to continue

If Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t leave the SC (one way or another) during Trump’s tenure, we’re doomed in a matter of a few years.

“You wouldn’t be able to sue the judge. Judges enjoy absolute immunity from suit for acts taken in their judicial capacity. If a party to a case thinks a judge got something wrong, the remedy is either an appeal or a petition for writ of mandamus. If you think a federal judge is abusing his office, the remedy is to file a judicial misconduct complaint with the clerk of the court of appeals for that circuit or to ask your Congressman to institute articles of impeachment.”

That remedy has passed us by long ago. The tool to remove fascist black-robes must eventually fall to the people through Committees of Safety.

You mean like Robespierre? Can't say that I'm on board with you there.

‘You mean like Robespierre? Can’t say that I’m on board with you there.’

No, a Committee of Safety was a political mechanism used by our Founders to remove or nullify the king’s agents and traitorous American Tories. For example, a Committee of Safety removed the king’s governor from South Carolina before the battle at Sulivan’s Island in Charleston Harbor in 1776.

The government supports the economic invasion because it sees traditional America as the enemy.

It certainly appears so. Will 2019 be the year America unmistakably turns the corner? (Accurately identifying a threat should not be viewed as being a defeatist.)

As I just posted elsewhere with regard to McConnell not assisting Trump in his struggle with the Dems:
"Of course, unfortunately for our families and our nation, that reality leaves us in a David and Goliath situation. Arguably, Trump now stands with no effective and barely visible support from either the House, the Senate or the Judiciary, at least on the issue of border security.

And with regard to the necessary first step of removing Trump from the Oval Office, the House is priming to impeach him for as little as his hairstyle."

So What? To hell with the “law”!

Dems ignore it, why not everyone else?

That was pretty much Trump's reaction.

So far the courts haven't gone along.

Screw them. Start impeaching judges. Force Congress to change their purevues.

I’m sick of the lawless courts.

Can't agree with that in this case.

The law was passed at a different time with different circumstances, but it's still the law and it's explicit.

I don't want the courts deciding things based on what the law should be.

This one is squarely in Congress' court.
