AGJeff Sessions is telling Justice Department lawyers to push back against federal judges who have imposed nationwide injunctions against many of the Trump administration’s policies.
"A number of such injunctions in recent years have brought to the fore 'the problem of judges acting outside the bounds of their authority' and granting relief that reaches far beyond the confines of the particular case or controversy before them,”.. adding, “Consistent with the longstanding position of the Ex. Branch under Administrations of both parties, the Dept.of Justice opposes the issuance of such nationwide injunctions.”
In the memo, Sessions tells lawyers to remind the courts that they are bound by the U.S. Constitution — which limits their authority “to issue injunctions that extend beyond the parties to the case before them if such action is unnecessary to provide relief to the parties to the case.”
“Increasingly, we are seeing individual federal district judges go beyond the parties before the court to give injunctions or orders that block the entire federal government from enforcing a law or policy throughout the country,” Sessions said in a statement, slamming what he called historic “judicial activism.”
“This trend must stop. We have a government to run. The Constitution does not grant to a single district judge the power to veto executive branch actions with respect to parties not before the court. Nor does it provide the judiciary with authority to conduct oversight of or review policy of the executive branch. These abuses of judicial power are contrary to law, and with these new guidelines, this Department is going to continue to fight them,” said Sessions.

Let me just tell you this..... After Sessions became one of the first members of Congress to endorse Trump in his run for office Jeff became an adviser on almost every major decision and policy proposal Trump made during the campaign...From his immigration policy, to chairing Trumps nat. security advisory committee....and he is one of the top five power players in the country right now.....For the most part Sessions as always operated in the background...he does now.
I’ll also say Sessions is anything but weak... At the Justice Department, he’s flipped law enforcement policy on its head...he’s replaced Obama’s Holder’s ‘tough-on-police, easy-on-sentencing’ philosophy with outstanding and intense support for cops and tough sentencing....and the lists could go on and on.
I don’t heed the news regarding the relationship THEY think Trump and Sessions have. Nor the comments Trump makes about Sessions....nor those here on FR. If he wasn’t doing exactly as Trump wanted him to he’d be gone...he’s not.
Keep posting. Not everyone here has Sessions Derangement Syndrome.
Justice? Think about what you’re asking. Our system of Justice broke and our guys are trying to fix it ‘first’ so they can do the work it’s suppose to do. That means firing people, exposing the corruption, and getting all the cancer out.
It took the Dems decades to dig their roots into this government at every level.....and you want them outed in less than two years of work in an extremely hostile environment? Let alone connect all the dots?
I want to see THIS Government and our guys “operational’ again as it needs to be....and continue to change the course it was on above all else. And if that means these crooks have to run loose for a time so we can find all connected to them then so be it....I’ll wait.

There is a place where the sun doesn’t shine.....you know the rest.
“You either go after the whole lot of them and get the big boys and expose them...(which takes a whole lot of time), ....or settle for the little guys...which is it?”

Negan and Lucille...
I presume it was on the orders of President Trump.
Now, the Deplorables have seen almost 18 months of Federal judge-presidents attempting to run the country from the replica Oval Offices in their judges chambers - and they're at the boiling point.
The boiling point is a good place to start when you aim to annihilate The Swamp.
We'll see within the next 8 weeks.
Meh.............
Have you ever had skin cancer? I have. Some spots were there for over a decade but when one popped up over night, I notice it immediately and went to the doctor.
He took biopsy samples from 5 difference places, 4 of which were cancerous. The next week, they were gone.
Re “and you want them outted in less than two years of work...”?
YES. These Deep State people are cancers on America and need to be REMOVED ASAP.
Both my parents died of cancer. I had to bury them. I know the threat of cancer possibly better than you. YOU ACT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE IT SPREADS OR GOES DEEPER.
Sessions is not the kind of doctor we need to deal with the Democrat/Leftist cancers were are being attacked and undermined by in America.
I want a surgeon, not a podiatrist!
Great post. Sessions is Dr. Kevorkian. He’s not trying to help the patient...He’s trying to kill him.
This is what I like about Sessions
This stuff
He's got to unglue his lips from their asses first.
It all sounds so kinky to me...
Actually it makes a lot of sense. If it turns out that Sessions has been living up to his “Silent Assasin” nickname the public spats are a diversion. I like to think of it as “rope-a-dope”. BTW, did you hear about the Grand Jury Sessions had going for the last 6 months? It was leaked for the first time this week.
Trump secretly thinks that Sessions should have recused himself? Mark Levin even said that Sessions should step down.
Keep up the good work. Keep posting.
Get your mind out of the gutter or go post on a porn site.
You didn't know that Jeff Sessions kisses Deep State butt?
Don't blame me. Tell Jeff to quit it.
My opinion is that the Trump insults to Sessions are a red herring. A ruse. Part of a plan. Giving the DEMS enough rope to hang themselves. Got it?
Well thank you for thinking so...unfortunately too many here have little understanding regarding Sessions work or the time it takes to bring this house of cards down...and really only see and expect what they want him to do, when they want him to do it.
But I won’t post anything more about his work....the response is too toxic.
