Among the most potent are high court decisions that have interpreted financial threats like the one Trump is now making as an unlawful intrusion on state’s rights.

Oh.

NOW State's rights are just towering above Federal law and Presidential authority, right?

For the past eight years it has been the All High Holiness Hussein welding the Almighty Word of The Won.

But now it is States Rights.

Got it.

NEWS FLASH!

As long as he tries, Trump wins with Americans either way.

The leftist courts are rapidly working their way down to the level of respect decent people have for the Fake Media.

Like the Fake Media, Hollywood, the ACLU, PBS, NPR, NAACP, BLM and others the liberal courts are becoming just another division of the corrupt democrat party.

I wouldn’t bother fighting it out. Just cut their budgets for not abiding by the law and move on. Let them figure out how to fund themselves without federal funding.

Bring it on.

I want Trump to indict and jail the scum who are running this state. And deport every last illegal that the bastards are serving.

Going to be fun when Jeff Session starts locking up Mayors for obstruction of justice.

The LaSlimes need to have their office fumigated. Imagine all the newspaper employees with brain eating maggot infestation.

Speaking of state's rights and such, every program cut from the federal budget means that states get to choose if they want to take on those functions. If the federal government cuts money to Meals on Wheels, the states can increase their contribution to make up the difference. Bit by bit, states will take on more responsibility paying for illegal immigrants. Each decision the states make will be, do I want to spend money on the citizens, or do I want to spend money on illegals.

Pretty soon, citizens, even in blue states, will question the money going to illegals when they see their own taxes going up compared to non-sanctuary cities and states. Then we will flip more blue states. Illegal immigration is not a winning issue, it will split the democrat party.

Just send federal marshals to arrest mayors and governors on felony harboring charges and this crap will stop overnight.

I think they got it backwards. It is a fight where Trump has nothing to lose.

Big difference imo. And you cannot measure the wins or losses just by court rulings. There is also a PR battle for hearts and minds, for votes, for congressional districts, for campaign funds for candidates... And more, including a fight in DC between the Executive and Legislative branches and all that entails (fundraising, lobbying, endorsements for key races, challengers, seats to flip etc).

Since Trump has nothing to lose, he has every incentive to go balls out. This is what these never Trump protestors don't quite understand. By being so quick to react harshly negative, they discourage any form of compromise whatsoever. They will complain vociferously no matter what, so Trump has nothing to lose going for all the marbles. The left ran the most hateful campaign perhaps ever (and there were some pretty mean ones back in the day), not just questioning his inexperience in office and his policy proposals. but attacking his very character as a human being, casting him as a heartless racist xenophobe sexist cheating stealing liar... There is no defense for any of that (which is why he ignored it, and why they played those cards). But they went way too far and left themselves no room to walk it back. They brainwashed themselves into forgetting everything they knew about him over the last 40 years and installing in their minds a caricature invented by the Hillary campaign. They wanted to believe that hate to justify their support for the very weak candidate Hillary.

The names they called him (sexist, racist) are the thought crimes few people can forgive. So now these leftists are stuck in a negative feedback loop whereby "we must hate racists for the good of the world, and whatever racists do is automatically suspected as evil, and Trump is a racist, so go back to the beginning of this sentence". And besides the fact that this perpetual rejection of all things Trump is simply moronic and devoid of reason or logic, these leftists have put all their advances in jeopardy. If they reconciled and forgave and started to use polite reasoned arguments they might actually be heard, and may moderate Trump's aggressiveness, and may possibly retain some of what they want or even gain a thing or two. But they do not see that, they are past sensibility. Trump has nothing to lose, his opponents have put everything at risk and will lose some of their advances including their ability to advance an agenda in the future.

Jeff Sessions, at the age of 15, witnessed the threatened use of deadly force against his Governor of Alabama and complete humiliation of an entire culture in 1963. He was there.

It was right there on the Schoolhouse steps of the University of Alabama.

The entire Alabama National Guard was federalized under the order of JFK. There was a court decision in hand (Brown) and a court order refused by the Governor.

Our Attorney General knows what to do. And he’ll enjoy it.

The funnest thing about this is how the liberals are having to defend everything on every front. A total, all-out, siege. Nice to wake up every morning and see conservatism on offense and the liberals on defense.

It’s a miracle - the leftists are suddenly for states’s rights!
