It is over four years since Shannon Bream and I talked on Fox about the US Chief Justice's wish to avoid the Supreme Court being dragged into "controversy". And I remarked to Shannon that at a certain point the desire to avoid controversy becomes itself controversial. We are now well past that stage - to the point where any old rinky-dink district-court judge in Dead Moose Junction can presume to substitute his own foreign policy for that of the President and usurp the conduct of privileged state-to-state relations:

The Administration did not 'refuse to comply' with a court order. The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist TdA aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory. The written order and the Administration's actions do not conflict. Moreover, as the Supreme... https://t.co/DnjUsuWTLH — Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) March 17, 2025

So a "judge" can order foreign terrorists to be flown back into the country to terrorise anew. And, if the "judge" regards his powers as extending into international airspace, who's to say they don't go far beyond?

The spaced-out judge who serves as self-appointed Chief Commissar for Venezuelan Relations is some bloke called Boasberg. But America has a lot of judges. I know. I've been up before more of them than I have been in the rest of the world combined, and - with two exceptions - I found them not of impressive quality. Nevertheless, they're quite numerous, so any day now some other Boasberg type will appoint himself Chief Commissar for Russian Relations and strike down a Ukraine peace deal.

"Judge" Boasberg blocked the deportation of Tren de Aragua gang member’s
without disclosing the fact that his daughter works for a 501c3 called “Partners For Justice”
that gives criminal illegal aliens and gang members legal advice.

His daughter’s own employment depends on there being a constant flow of criminals, rapists, murderers,
and illegal alien gang bangers, GROWING in our country!

CONFLICT OF INTEREST! - and there is more with his two twin sisters.

JUDGE BOASBERG SHOULD HAVE RECUSED HIMSELF!

He ought be tried by JAG for treason.

[exnavy]

Truth.

[CopperTop]

Yes. Our "3000 tyrants 1 mile away"..

Their mess is gonna hafta be dealt with.

[Carry_Okie]

I can see it now: The left will find an NGO to sue Trump in Federill court for shooting at Houthis without a declaration of war, even when they shoot at us first.

[ClearCase_guy]

I bet Trump is going to manage to turn all of this into a big RICO scandal. I imagine Democrats and Money people have been communicating with judges and others in the court system to constantly stack the deck against Trump. It’s a criminal conspiracy and I don’t think it’s going to go on much longer.

[brownsfan]

Shouldn’t Pam Bondi be doing something? Or will she recuse herself?

[FreedomNotSafety]

Pam Bondi = The new Jeff Sessions.

[brownsfan]

“Pam Bondi = The new Jeff Sessions.”

I wondered about that a while back on another thread.

Lots of talk, lots of misdirection, no action. Trump would do well to send her the 5 things memo.

[ALPAPilot]

She was the one that signed the response filing basically telling the judge to kiss her ass.

Order from Judge Boasberg:
“As discussed in today’s hearing, the Court ORDERS that
by 12:00 p.m. on March 18, 2025,
the Government shall file a Notice, which may, if necessary,
be sealed in part, setting forth:
1) A sworn declaration that no one on any flight departing
the United States after 7:25 p.m. on March 15, 2025,
was removed solely on the basis of the [Alien Enemies Act]
Proclamation at issue;
2) A sworn declaration setting forth when
the Proclamation at issue was signed,
when it was made public, and when it went into effect;
3) The Government’s best estimate of the number of
individuals subject to the Proclamation currently remaining
in the United States
and how many are currently in U.S. custody;
and 4) The Government’s position on whether,
and in what form, it will provide answers to the Court’s
questions regarding the particulars of the flights.

Unelected, terrorist supporting Boasberg
still has not admitted that he is also trying
to make more money for his daughter and twin sisters,
or why HE, unelected, dares overrule 80 million Americans.

[healy61]

I still say the judge screwed up big time and wants to blame others. The only reason he was chosen was because his daughter is getting rich from alien criminals. I swear, the guillotine was the best option for the French.

“Unelected, terrorist supporting Boasberg
still has not admitted that he is also trying
to make more money for his daughter and twin sisters,

And somehow, he is able to do that, unabated.

[brownsfan]

In other words, the swamp runs the country.

[Diogenesis]

[caddie]

Stone Commie judge. He needs some impeachment.

[ridesthemiles]

EXACTLY WHERE DOES HER FUNDING COME FROM????

[Rummyfan]

So a "judge" can order foreign terrorists to be flown back into the country to terrorise anew. And, if the "judge" regards his powers as extending into international airspace, who's to say they don't go far beyond?
