(Washington, D.C.) Washington, D.C. – In an unprecedented legal move, D.C. District Judge Ira Tarded has issued a court order declaring a state of war between the United States and Russia. This action follows a contentious meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump, which reportedly ended without resolution.
"This court order formally declares a state of war between our country and Russia," Judge Tarded announced from the bench. "I hereby order the mobilization of 350,000 troops and all related war material to be staged in Ukraine. Further court orders will be forthcoming, instructing our forces on how and when to attack."
Legal experts across the spectrum have expressed skepticism regarding the authority of a federal district court judge to initiate armed conflict. Constitutional scholar Professor Linda Marshall commented, "The power to declare war is constitutionally vested in Congress. Judge Tarded's actions are, to say the least, unorthodox and raise significant legal questions."
Despite these concerns, several high-profile Democrats have rallied in support of Judge Tarded's decision. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer praised the judge, stating, "Finally, we have a leader for our time!" Similarly, Representative Adam Schiff asserted, "If the President won't act, I'm grateful Judge Tarded did. The rulings of district judges have the force of law."
In a related development, Judge Tarded convened an emergency session with fellow D.C. district judges to establish a judicial military command structure. Among the appointments
Judge T.O. Krazi as Judge Advocate of Defense Judge Ima Freique as Judge of the Navy Judge Karen Consern as Judge of the Army Judge R.U. Kiding as Judge of the Air Force
This newly formed Judicial Military Tribunal is expected to immediately issue commands to the Armed Forces, outlining a series of mobilization orders and outlining strategic operations against Russia.
Judge Tarded also indicated he would be issuing a court order to reinstate the draft.
The international community has reacted with a mix of surprise and admiration. European leaders supported the move, but Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed the declaration as "legal absurdity." NATO officials are reportedly scrambling to cooperate with the declaration of war and are working with the new leadership to coordinate wartime activities.
Credit to you for the initial idea.
Sound out Judge Ira Tarded, too. 😁
👍🏻 👍🏻
“European leaders supported the move, but Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed the declaration as “legal absurdity.”
Typical Russian - he has NO CLUE as to how the FREE WORLD operates, only how his dictatorship operates.
Welll done as always…
Lol!
😁
Heheh… well done brother…
Thanks. It's only a little stretch to imagine the power grabs, from the ones they presently exercise.
Breaking news update. An anonymous source has informed CNN anchor Kaitlyn Collins that the Southern Poverty Law Center has green lighted the move. Expert legal scholar Peter Fudd suggests an authorization to conscript Federal Workers is on sound legal footing.
When asked, Mr. Fudd responded, "you don't think we instituted the selective service registration program for nothing do you? Come on, man!".
I like your addition!
Shifty has been elevated.
The possibilities are endless. Thanks to our friends. The Democrats.
I expect Federal District 4’s Judge Justin Thyme to issue a stay on Judge Ira Tarded’s declaration...
Love the judge names… 🤣
A good way to showcase the inherent danger of allowing Judges to rule from the bench.
