Nearing the Final Battle Against the Deep State (Clarice Feldman)
American Thinker ^ | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 03/30/2025 3:49:52 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

While numerous federal district court judges have issued ill-conceived restraining orders against the administration, I have long believed that it will prevail in its efforts to place control of the state in the hands of the elected executive, away from the deep state bureaucracy and its black-robed judicial allies. As the litigation of these matters proceeds, I think my belief will be justified. We will return to a constitutional republican form of government. For a day-to-day look at the progress of these multiple cases, I urge you to go to X and follow Professor Margot Cleveland who is (bless her) keeping track of them and providing links to the pleadings and orders.

Three of these cases were appealed to the federal circuit courts. In one, the Fourth Circuit ruled that the President acted within his powers in dismissing members of “independent” agencies -- the NLRB and the Merit Systems Protection Board. That same circuit stayed the district court injunction banning Musk and others from working with USAID. In D.C., the Circuit Court in a 2-1 decision (in which each member filed a separate statement) ignored the fact that the lower court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case and improperly certified the class of Tren de Aragua members residing anywhere in the U.S. (District Judge James Boasberg did this in order to justify issuance of a nationwide injunction challenging the legality of the Alien Administration Act.)

In a sign that the Administration was prepared for this eventuality, the Solicitor General the next day filed a motion to vacate the order in the Supreme Court. I concur with Bill Shipley’s take:

Another tiny snippet (a quote from Jeff Childers):
Imagine a new, AI-powered, top-secret, digital DOGE dashboard at Langley that can show Ratcliffe everything in real-time: every dollar, every operation, every contract, every overseas asset being paid -- and only Trump’s team will hold the keys. Once such a dashboard were installed, the Agency’s permanent staff couldn’t play their covert games anymore. No more secret drug ops. No more unauthorized coups. No more backchannel slush funds.

No more resist Trump operations.

If DOGE can pull this off, the Agency will properly become an extension of the White House, rather than the other way around.

This all depends on the SCOTUS voting to uphold Trump.

I am not so sure they will. Especially Roberts and Barrett.
It has been one debacle after another over the years. Doesn’t matter what the plain words of the Constitution are..just their nuanced version of it.

I pray I am wrong...

I’m not sure Langley would be the right place to house such a computer.
I would say the White House basement is a better place.
A minor quibble.

Yes and no. It also depends on SCOTUS’s willingness to defend not just President Trump, but the institutional authority of the presidency itself, regardless of who holds the office. If the leftist justices think that a Democrat will eventually return to the White House, they might be inclined to limit the power of district judges to interfere with executive actions.

The current lawfare from the bench is setting a precedent that could just as easily be used against a future Democratic president.

The judges are their version of the battle of the bulge. A last ditch effort to regain initiative and control. As usual the left has jumped the shark and the public is seeing this. Legacy media can’t hide these actions, and where the judge’s allegiance lie.
Comedy is often the leader to change, and the stuff out there with the BEE and others should not be discounted.
Judge orders astronauts returned to space
Judge orders dolphins arrested for supporting hate.
Judge orders Tesla vandals released based on social justice.
Judge orders USAID funds to be spent, taxpayers have must pay for the rest of the world’s “needs”….

How to get rid of the deep state would simply be to quickly fire all the managers across all the intellengence agencies, most especially the CIA, and send in teams to ransack their files.

“If CIA-DOGE integration is real, and it sticks, then the Deep State will evaporate into a shallow pond. The DOGE dashboard would collapse the financial hydra into a one-necked money chokepoint. It would move the levers of control back into the White House. No more shadow government. No more covert meetings between “resisters” discussing how to undermine the elected President and thwart his agenda.

To be perfectly clear: DOGE in intelligence suggests, not just draining the swamp, but the engineered desertification of the swamp.”- from the article

It’s what we voted for.

If they do not, I pray every illegal and every Tda is shipped to the homes and cities of those who believe they belong here.

After all, it is not against the law to provide the illegals, including criminals and gangstas among them, free air, train, or bus fare to places where people live who really feel they need to be in the USA!!

” Nearing the Final Battle Against the Deep State”

Nearing the end?

Not one single agency has actually been abolished. over 100 years of progressives building the deep state and all that’s happened is some staff has been cut, budgets potentially reduced.

Everything that was in place is still in place and any future president can put it all right back, it can all be restored.

Not one single administrative agency has actually been abolished. It remains 100% intact.

We are before the beginning. We are not even actually at the beginning yet.

There are agencies that have been pared down to their absolute minimum requirement though.

But yes, there is still a lot more that needs to happen before we reach the end, because of the way many of these agencies have been established to make it harder to abolish them completely.

People just do not understand the realities involved. They did not design the swamp to be easily dismantled, or drained as we are want to say.
