President Trump vs. District Judges

Posted on 03/19/2025 2:48:06 PM PDT by 7thson

Question for everyone.

Why can't the Trump administration basically inform these courts - by a nationwide press conference/speech, by a letter, and/or in person DOJ attorneys - that because of the 1948 Supreme Court decision, the only court that the President will pay attention to is the USSC. That this administration will continue to do what it is doing and lower courts have no lawful basis in attempting to dictate Executive policy?

I'm going out to dinner now and will read your responses upon my return.

What 1948 SC decision?

I’m not aware of a 1948 court decision.
I am aware of Mississippi v Johnson (1867) in which the Supreme Court made it explicitly clear that the Judicial Branch had no say in how the Executive Branch chose to carry out its duties.

I think we are pretty much at the point where Trump should announce that no court has any power over his Branch. And I think that includes the Supremes. Roberts? He’s a nobody.

Obama ‘judges’ feel their job is to keep the freely elected President in a box. Maybe the ‘judges’ can go out and burn down Mar a largo - or Trum’s Tesla. They are one with the mob.

Perhaps a few more such judges need to expose themselves in order for the president to prove a conspiracy.

Because the Congress established the district courts as allowed in the constitution and only Congress can disband it. However a sharply worded letter from Jordan and Grassley telling them they have exceeded their authority and are in danger of having the DC District dissolved unless they get back in their lane.

And Roberts has stepped out of his lane as well. There is nothing in the constitution that says judges can’t be impeached except for high crimes and misdemeanors. It says they can be removed. PERIOD.

Don’t hang your hat on rescue by the SCOTUS.

He is talking about the SCOTUS ruling in 1948 that said that the 1798 Alien Act is “not justiciable” - that judges had “neither the expertise nor the authority” to decide such national security matters, and that only the president can make such decisions. Boasberg has ZERO jurisdiction in this case, and the DOJ needs to just state this already, outright.

Exactly. Trump admin is immune. Rogue district judges are making a case for trump to nail them. This is trump’s MO all along, for 8 solid years

I never noticed Robert race to defend Aileen Cannon when she was under all kinds of executive branch and democrat assaults.

That would be fine when foreign policy matters or non-US citizens are concerned.

But the executive branch can not willy nilly disregard citizen’s rights. Okay the Mar-a-Lago raid crossed the line.

Roberts was nominated by the globalist Bush cabal. Nuff said.

Impeaching those wayward judges isn’t even on my radar screen, seeing as how it’s next to impossible.
I see this a great time to use the bully pulpit to point out, clearly and succinctly, the courts have no role in the executive branch.

I agree with both of you.

So unless he’s secretly given them a big ol’ “F.U.” that none of us have seen or heard about, why is he complying with every single TRO or injunction issued?

I’ve read all over the Net about a supposed EO he signed, stating that he was going to ignore asinine District Court rulings. Then, a heartbeat later, someone says it’s fake news, and that the White House only issued a Memorandum stating the administration would demand that the filers put up or guarantee a large amount to cover potential fees, penalties, and court costs. (I’m paraphrasing, btw). So which one is the truth, I wonder?

Appeals can go quickly, or they can take years. This insanity has to be stopped before things deteriorate to such an extent that the only option left is the unthinkable.

No he didn’t. That needs to be brought to his attention along with Biden stating repeatedly that SCOTUS can’t stop him from waiving student loans despite the SCOTUS ruling. Roberts is clearly biased.

I have stated before and I will state it again: I believe this administration’s biggest mistake so far was making the statement” I will obey the rulings of the Court”. Since then there has been a pile on of rulings.

Even if the supreme Court were to overturn them, there were only so many cases they can take during a session.

The president needs to move full steam ahead. Ignore the rulings where they do not have jurisdiction and demand that Congress begin to call out these jurists by name.

They don’t have to impeach. They can just pull funding.

One thing simple majorities in Congress can do is defund the ba$tards.

Article III, Section 1:

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Can't defund, but Congress can abolish.
