Border security makes Johnny laugh

[faithhopecharity]

i really do think PDJT should just DO it
since defense of our borders is SO CLEARLY within his powers as POTUS/CinC... AND DUTIES OF OFFICE

all these delays are unnecessary when it comes to THIS issue in particular

going along with all the judicial delaying on most other issues makes some legal sense, alas! (the worst of the commie judges need to be impeached and removed!)

He declared an emergency and the congress didn’t override. WTH is he doing going to the court. Implement your emergency response and tell the court they have no role in Emergency responses according to the law of 1974 re emergency decs.

Did Truman have to check with Harlan Stone to drop the bomb?

If not, how come Don Trump has to check with these guys to secure the border?

This is a no brainer. But that’s what John Roberts lacks. And a spine.

[MichaelCorleone]

Why don’t we amend the Constitution and just have all federal judges and Supremes officially assume the duties of Congress?

The black robes run the country anyway it seems.

And for one reason and one reason only - because we allow it. How they got to be the final arbiter in every area of our life is beyond me.

The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to intervene and issue an order that would allow it to move forward and use military funds for a wall on the southern border.

We all know where the other eight stand.

I think PDJT is being very cautious about committing to any action that may be ruled unconstitutional by the Obama SCOTUS since there are probably enough RINOs to vote for impeachment in the house and for conviction in the senate.

At a minimum, the lopsided balance of the equities favors staying the injunction pending appeal. Respondents’ interests in hiking, birdwatching, and fishing in designated drug-smuggling corridors do not outweigh the harm to the public from halting the government’s efforts to construct barriers to stanch the flow of illegal narcotics across the southern border,” the document states.

I am afraid this is not the most convincing argument. Not that I personally disagree and I don't know all the legalities involved. But it would seem to me the most convincing argument would be to use the DoD funds to, you know, defend the country from foreign hostiles.

Of course it is immoral to let the situation - drugs and drug deaths, rape of women, sexual exploitation of children, kidnapping, overcrowding of the system - continue unabated. But why transfer funds from DoD to DHS anyway? Have the DoD allocate it directly for defense, period. Surely POTUS and the DoD don't need a specific allocation for the defense of the nation from terrorists and saboteurs who might exploit weaknesses in our defense.

expect betrayal from traitor Roberts - he has his globalist marching orders

[SoFloFreeper]

this really should be a no-brainer.

a district judge cannot be allowed to micromanage the executive branch.
