TYRANT!
Tell Judge Pound Sand that Nullification is a thing.
-The Honorable and very wealthy Judge McConnell. (Who serves on many boards receiving those funds, as does his wife, children, and mistresses)
Trump has a great workaround against lefty judges. Just rescind whatever they were sued on.
Then reissue a new policy that isn’t subject to that judge.
Appeal and then get the higher court to say this is a new issue.
This is another opportunity. The Judicial branch of government is attempting a coup against the Executive branch - amounting to informing the Chief Executive he has no authority in the overseeing of his own departments and agencies. Trump needs to announce their order is DOA - null and void for that reason.
The worst possible scenario: declare a constitutional crisis, martial law and THEN REALLY extract the Deep State.
If this is not done, then the left WILL manipulate themselves back into power, and THEY will fabricate an opportunity for martial law. We are dealing with evil people with evil agendas. The Marquess of Queensbury Rules just ain’t gonna cut it.
We may see a record number of impeachments soon. I hope so, sprinkled with a good number of summary, dispassionate applications of rope.
“Judges now think they are more powerful than the US government and the President and can order them about like little people”
It worked in Brazil.
If memory serves the funding freeze DID NOT INCLUDE LEGALLY OBLIGATED DISBURSEMENTS OR PAYMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS SS OR SNAP BENEFITS. So it appears this judge wants Trump to unfreeze those funds which are not under the authority of Congress. Which means he is demanding that the agencies which are under the executive branch to defy a lawfully given directive from the head of that branch. How does that not create a constitutional crisis?
That seems to be the obvious conclusion to me as well.
I am beginning to wonder if these judges were getting a kickback.
This brings up an interesting Supreme Court judicial question.
The Supreme Court ruled on what is and is not Presidential immunity. A President is immune for anything involving his Constitutionally granted duties. A President is not immune to any actions outside of the scope of his work that are personal in nature. Finally, for those things in between a jury must decide on the facts of the case and if those acts were broadly, within his duties, even if not specifically spelled out in the constitution.
I think that DOJ attorneys could argue that this lower court judge has not considered the recent Supreme Court Presidential Immunity decision and that Trump under both is Constitutional powers as President and his broader powers as President (not spelled out in the Constitution) has the ability to do what he did and that the lower court unless it abides by the Supreme Court ruling, needs to grant deference to the President in his actions.
If the lower court does not back down, then Trump can claim under Presidential immunity that he will ignore the judges ruling and the DOJ can ask for the Supreme Court to intervene.
“Judges now think they are more powerful than the US government and the President and can order them about like little people”
There are 890 federal authorized federal judgeships. If every individual federal judge has the power to arbitrarily issue orders to the president and Congress the government simply cannot operate effectively or efficiently.
It is long past time for the Congress, POTUS, and the States to push back on the imperial and unaccountable Judicial branch of government which has seized powers not enumerated in the Constitution.
Under the Constitution Congress can restrict the behavior and jurisdiction of the lower federal courts through legislation. POTUS can ignore overreaching orders declaring them to be a violation of separation of powers. The states can call a convention to ratify amendments to the Constitution.
I hereby bequeath a new name for hiz Honor.
Judge Whack-A-Mole
Too much water in your instrument air system.
How many tank divisions does this judge have?
It won’t be long now, President Trump will announce that he will follow the “Three C0-Equal Branches of our Government Doctrine” agreed upon by our Founding Fathers. It will go to the Supreme Court and they will uphold Trump because to do otherwise would mean their power would all but be wiped out. The rodents would go insane but Thune and Johnson would back Trump and the new way of governing will be established.
I don’t believe immunity enters into this at all. If it did that means it could be argued whether the actions President Trump is taking are legal. They are obviously legal. To even allow a suggestion otherwise is to let the Dems decide the terms of executive orders and actions.
The judges’ rulings have no legitimate basis and should be (and I believe are being) challenged on that ground.
That is the point, Trump has Presidential immunity for things he is responsible for. The judge has no leverage over him and Trump can ignore the judge with no consequences.
Let’s hypothesize that Trump ignores the judges order. What can the judge do? Hold him in contempt? Fine Trump? The judge can’t because Trump has Presidential immunity or at least so says the US Supreme Court.
You are correct the judge’s ruling is beyond his legal scope. This is just another way of pointing it out.
