Last week they wanted No Kings. Now they want Trump to be a king and override Congress.

Seriously though, does this stick? It might be a good way to defang the left’s Zombie Apocalypse for a few weeks and simultaneously identify a shit ton of fraud and illegals on the dole? Thoughts?

The usurper shadow president has been very busy ordering his judges to thwart the Trump administration at every turn.
I hear satan’s demon is going to be out campaigning tomorrow with Abigail Spam-burger.

Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do. I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the Government closed through the monthly payment date and, even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out. If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay. The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s Office Number: (202) 224-6542

The Supreme Court has ruled that federal district courts do not have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions against executive actions. Instead, a district court’s power to issue an injunction is limited to providing relief only to the specific parties involved in the lawsuit. This means a ruling in one district will only apply to those plaintiffs, not to the entire country, a decision that restricts how federal policies can be challenged and could lead to a patchwork of conflicting rulings across different circuits.
This decision is applicable to the legislative branch.
So the dead heads in this district will continue to get their free junk food?
Why didn’t the judge just order Schumer to vote for the budget?
Why don’t the executive and legislative branches request of the SCOTUS, that it paddle its democrat inferior court judges, again?
President Trump has nothing to do with this, except waiting to sign. This is a coequal branch of government and the democrats, again, are playing judicial overreach.

I guess the judiciary is running the country now. It is beginning to look that way.

I have a solution for this.
