BREAKING: US judge blocks Trump order to cut off funding to cities that limit cooperation with immigration authorities.

[Windflier]

Trump needs to cite chapter and verse of the Law and the Constitution on national television, then tell this puke judge to pound sand.

Enough!

[Jim W N]

Based on which article and section of the Constitution????

Nowhere to be found because the Leftist judges make it up as they go.

OUST THEM ALL!!!

[Kevin in California]

Exactly!

[sarasota]

Obama’s back.

Trump had better take the gloves off with this crap, and the GOP. Enough of this crap.
Everytime Trump does something on immigration the left goes right to their judges , and ties him up , whilst they wait for next year thinking they will get more senate seats to block Trump for the next two years.

Absolutely we need a Constitutional crises. I am not kidding.

Here's how Mr. Trump could to do it, in 10 easy steps:

1. Acknowledge the court's order.
2. Release the real statistics on illegal immigration; you know how the official number's been the same for the past several years?
   (Some estimates put it at about 30 Million; or 10% of the US population.)
3. Declare a state of invasion.
4. Acknowledge Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution:
   

   The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.

5. Issue orders to the Army to secure the land border; lethal force authorized.
6. Issue orders to the Navy to secure the ocean borders; lethal force authorized.
7. At his point there's several possible responses:
   1. Judicial — They try to issue an order declaring the above orders illegal.
   2. Legislative — They try to impeach over the above orders.
   3. Executive — Passive nonfeasence (firable) / active defiance.
8. Acknowledge the definition of Treason in Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution:
   

   Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

9. Prosecute those that defy upholding Art 4, Sec 4 for Treason.
10. Laugh you watch them fall right in to the trap!

And what makes this so great is that there's virtually no way that the legislature wouldn't act treasonously here, their globalist elitism blinding them to the actual danger here. (They're also so mindblowingly arrogant that I'd almost bet money they'd think that the law [re: Treason] doesn't apply to them.)

Carrying the water for the Democrats while they are out of power.

[kiryandil]

A judge can now determine how taxpayer dollars are spent? A judge can write the budget??

See what happens when you skip ONE DAY in your senior high school government class?

That must have been the day when the teacher talked about the Power of the Purse being transferred to the Federal Judiciary... /laughter

[Edward.Fish]

Time for the Republican leadership in Congress to show some cajones.

Well, that made me laugh.

[headstamp 2]

So basically a federal judge is fully sanctioning illegal activity.

[kiryandil]

If he does, ignorant Congressional representatives would use this as grounds for impeachment.

They won't be doing much impeaching if they're trying out for the Spandau Ballet...

[dware]

Has to get to Supreme Court now that gorsuch is there.

Obunghole care went to a majority "conservative" bench @ SCOTUS as well.

[manc]

Agree

[hopespringseternal]

Ultimately this is congress’s battle to fight. They can either begin impeaching these tyrants or specifically remove their authority over immigration issues (which they do not have in any case.)

[Shady]

Yes. It is past time for Mr. President to tell these judges to take a hike when the stop enforcement of existing law...period!

[buckalfa]

"Furthermore, funding comes from Congress. This was a Justice Department grant. No judge has the authority to demand that the Justice Department gives its budget away as the judges decide."

I have,searched and have yet to find the judge's basis for the ruling. Could it be the rationale is that since only Congress has the power to fund something, then only Congress has the power to defund?

[MileHi]

Judges who don;t give a damn about the law.

They care only about outcomes.

[Yaelle]

Do we think alike or what?my #54

[wardaddy]

We are ruled by the 9th district

If this can’t be fixed Trump should ignore them

[wardaddy]

It’s not an actual ruling

These judges have decided to grant injunctions baring an actual ruling because it suits them

They could have easily and more judiciously ruled Trumps order stands till actual ruling made

They are colluding with ANTIFA sorts to thwart the presidency

It’s time to make a stand
