Obama Donor Judge: No Sanctuary for American Victims
American Thinker.com ^ | November 22, 2017 | Daniel John Sobieski

The Constitution and the laws passed by Congress define one person who determines and executes U.S. immigration policy and U.S. District Judge William Orrick is not it. Yet Judge Orrick is once again opposing the expressed will of the American people through their elected representatives by issuing a permanent ban on President Trump’s executive order defunding sanctuary cities:

A federal judge in California has blocked President Trump’s executive order to cut funding from sanctuary cities that don’t cooperate with U.S. immigration officials.

U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick issued the ruling Monday in lawsuits brought by San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. According to the judge, Trump can’t set new conditions on spending approved by Congress.

But is he setting new conditions or enforcing existing conditions and existing law? Federal funds, particularly federal law enforcement grants, are given out on the assumption, if not the expressed intent, that recipients are going to use that money enforcing federal law. They are not provided out of the goodness of taxpayer hearts.

As Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has observed, activist judges deeply involved in politics are likely more loyal to their ideology than to the Constitution, doing great harm to the country and the American people:

“Judges who take the law into their own hands, who make up constitutional 'rights' in order to strike down laws they oppose, undermine the people's right to have their values shape public policy and define the culture.”

Certainly, President Trump and his Department of Justice are well within their authority in directing executive branch departments to enforce federal laws and programs they administer:

With Roy Moore in the US Senate maybe he’ll be able to shame the rest of the Republicans into doing their jobs and impeaching these activist bastards like Orrick.

If I’d wanted an Oreck running the country, I’d have voted for the PIAVCB.

Why not arrest the officials for obstruction of justice?

We have to clear the Senate of all of the undocumented Democrats in R jerseys first.

There has been a 30 year bipartisan plan to steal the country from the citizens by importing foreigners.
They are trying to make sure we are not allowed to elect anyone else who sides with the citizens and the rule of law again.
We stunned them throwing out their Majority Leader, Eric Cantor.
Trump had the wealth and fame to punch through the Bush blockade at the RNC.
They will make sure that “mistake” does not happen again.

It’s all about cementing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) in place.
They desperately do not want US to be able to restore the rule of law and reverse the demographic changes they have instituted through non-enforcement of laws and borders.
They invited 30 million people here to change the country against the will of the citizens and they do not want US sending them home.
They will do whatever it takes to keep US from electing anyone who sides with the citizens and the rule of law.

What they really don’t want is for US to keep our country.

The final amnesty that would cement the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) into place has been sought repeatedly since 2006. They sold us Rubio to get the last one in 2013.
We have been prevented from electing anyone who would side with US and the rule of law by their control of the RNC and state parties.

The most important thing to the Uniparty is protecting the demographic changes they have made to the country against the will of the citizens.
That’s what drives the NeverTrump, the media and the Democrats hatred of Trump, it is an extension of their hatred of US.

The beat goes on. Obama’s crooked judges are still in play. Add a few more drains to the swamp.

President Trump’s Justice Department has closed for winter. Sessions has gone back to sleep on his veranda in Georgia until May!

They should DIRECT the Federal agencies to follow the President’s Directives.

The Judge should be removed from office.

Session is not from Georgia, So why would he sit on his porch in Georgia, genius?

Fed funds are withheld or threatened to be withheld from states that don't go along with fed plans - let alone the law.

Raising the drinking age to 21 and subsidizing ghettos in beach towns are two examples.

Is that judge going to come by the Treasury department and force the government to write checks to those cities? He has no enforcement powers over the executive branch and the sooner Trump tells him that the sooner we can move on.

The key is to restore the Framers’ Senate; repeal the 17th Amendment.
