Conflicted: Because the presidents who nominate them are political, federal judges who are appointed to the bench are political as well, which is why our country gets so many rulings from that conflict or appear to conflict with U.S. law.
We got another one on Monday: A federal judge in California, appointed to the bench by President Obama, ruled that POTUS Donald Trump has no authority to issue an executive order changing asylum rules that are clearly being abused by hordes of migrants.
The Associated Press reported:
U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar agreed with legal groups that immediately sued, arguing that U.S. immigration law clearly allows someone to seek asylum even if they enter the country between official ports of entry and temporarily barred the ruling from going into place while the case is heard.
Whatever the scope of the Presidents authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden, said Tigar, a nominee of former President Barack Obama.
Except, of course, when Obama changed immigration law by claiming authority to stop the deportation process for so-called Dreamers.

Trumps response to the rogue judge should be to tell him to try to enfirce his ruling.
The ban would stay. A federal judge has no authority and no power to order the President not to execute the laws and to protect our borders.
Thants his constitutional duty whatever the idiot Tagar may opine to the contrary.
No,
Trump should appeal the ruling, all the way to SCOTUS if necessary.
And if he doesn’t win there, Congress needs to act to change the law.
And Congress needs to consider impeaching the judge.

Ignore? That should’ve been done years ago. We’re at the point where they need to be rounded up and sent to gitmo. I’m dead serious.
If this border invasion is not stopped, the future will be unreal....
This is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg....
If it becomes necessary to change the law. The laws not going to get changed until 2020 and we take the House back (If we do!). It would just go into the new House and get screeched at!
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
8 U.S.C. §1182(f) of United States Code
From: The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.
The Act was vetoed by Truman.
Truman's veto was overturned by more than a two thirds vote in the House and Senate.
The INA Act is still the law of the land.
I was thinking of President Lincolns famous response to a ruling by Judge Taney.
Courts have no independent enforcement powers. Part of the system of checks and balances.
Judges arent tyrants in black robes.
If Trump just closes down the border, things will get fixed in a hurry.
Democrats and Never Trumpers will be subjected to the pressure of every type of constituant.
The system has an appeal process for a reason.
If you ignore the process that has been set up, you undermine the rule of law.
The refugee law that was enacted by Congress is the problem. Trump ignoring an injunction by a federal judge is just an open invitation to impeach Trump. Obama's behavior non withstanding.
That was Andrew Jackson, whose portrait is prominently displayed by our current President. But we now have a Constitution respecting majority on the court. I say take it all the way to SCOTUS.
I agree with you. I’m not sure if the legislation is as big a problem as the judge made out.
If there is wiggle room, then Trump should appeal the ruling. Because if the ruling stands, Trump can’t fulfill his constitutional duty to defend the borders.
And if the ruling stands, then Trump should be preaching to the Democrats from the Presidential podium about how the law needs to change.
“Trump ignoring an injunction by a federal judge is just an open invitation to impeach Trump”
Oh noes...you people a cucks. Trump is going to be impeached regardless of what he does. If Trump allows these black robed tyrants to get away with these injunctions, he does tremendous damage to the office of the presidency. To the executive’s power under the Constitution.
The courts are not the final arbiter of what is constitutional. That should be clear to the dimmest of bulbs
>>The courts are not the final arbiter of what is constitutional.
**************************************************
Tom Woods recently wrote an article called “The James Madison Passage They Keep Buried” in which he speaks to this point.
Summary:
“What Madison means in the second paragraph above is that while the judicial branch may be considered the final authority on constitutionality between itself and the executive and legislative branches of the federal government, it is not the final authority between itself and the states. The states, holding the initial repository of power and the architects of the whole system, are of course the ultimate voice.”
Really? Do you think the democrat house is going to give Pres. Trump anything he wants? Especially when he wants to stem the flow of invaders? Pres. Trump needs to face the fact this democrat congress is going to impeach him over and over and over again, and just do what is right for this country. If the Dems and the Obama judges have their way, we won’t have a country anyway so just ignore them Mr. Trump, they do not want to protect our country so you have to do so.
>>But we now have a Constitution respecting majority on the court. I say take it all the way to SCOTUS.

I am not confident that there is a Constitution-respecting SC majority.
Roberts is the deciding vote. He’s already demonstrated that he can be (and was) compromised with his Obamacare vote.
Some say now he is “freed” from Obama’s blackmail. But, there is nothing stopping the commies from releasing what they have on him if he votes against them.
IMO, we need one more SC Justice to seal the deal.
Jefferson knew the dangers of allowing that...and we’re living it. Judicial tyranny.
