These district court judges make their rulings. We have to appeal them, in accordance with the law.
He can just say he doesn't agree and ignore them while the Supreme Court makes the decision. What would happen if a District Judge decided withholding tax was unconstitutional, would they stop collecting them? No they wouldn't.
Another big story today is the SIL called Trudeau and asked him to persuade Trump not to withdraw from NAFTA and Trump backed down. Also relatives of his are selling Green Card to Chinese, no clue if it is true but the story is out there this morning.
We both want exactly the same thing for our Country and our Children but I want Trump to take the gloves off and put on the Brass Nucks. I said from the beginning he could not undo this mess by waving the constitution around, he would have to get a bigger pen and phone because he would be fighting both parties. He needs to rouse the rabble.
What you and I can voice an objecting opinion on and ignore, is something he can’t.
If I get a judgment I can’t stand, I can appeal. If I don’t comply or get a stay, I have to follow the court’s instruction. In a sense, so does Trump.
If it were Bill Clinton or Barack Obama in there, I would not support them defying a judicial judgement.
As much as I don’t like the rulings against Trump, I cannot urge him to defy the court (judge). It sets a miserable precedent.
What the IRS does and what others due, are frequently not on the same scale. The IRS has been given a very wide latitude. There would be an immediate appeal, and there would be a stay.
I don’t know who/what SIL is.
As for stories, there are so many and folks here are using them to justify some really strange beliefs.
This guy is on our side, and yet we have people here judging the stories as if he’s our enemy. The stories from the worst newspapers are taken for granted if it’s talking about Trump or his family. Why?
Did we do that to Reagan? Did we side against him when the papers trashed him for Iran/Contra? No, we stood by his side.
With Trump some of our folks actually pick up a spear and start chucking them at him. Who cares if the stories are true or not. We just don’t like some of his people, so they are fair game.
Our crew has got to get over this. They are doing the Left’s work on this forum, I don’t care how high minded they are trying to be. This type of thing is a low life effort.
I think he may have to call folks out onto the street. Protests can be a massive motivator.
We still have to work within the law. If we don’t, we have joined the Democrats. We can’t do that.
Whatever we do, we have to remember that one day there will be a Democrat able to do the same thing. We have to limit ourselves to things we don’t want the Democrats doing.
That may sound defeatists, but you know, we don’t have to sit still for it when they do it. Just because we have been doing it, doesn’t mean it was a good idea.
This is why I don’t trust Ryan or McConnell.
They’re too timid to play hard-ball.
How McConnell got the backbone to deny Obama appointments near the end is beyond me. It was the only thing I can credit him with over the last eight years.
We are both frustrated with how things work Rs vs Ds.
Thanks for the note.
