It doesn’t matter the motivation for the judge’s actions.
What matters is the effect. Just like the EO on refugee vetting is no where, so too is stopping funding for sanctuary cities.
Mark my words ... the courts will shut down the wall, too, if the President should ever go forward with it.
Trump needs to figure out how to punch though this ...
The Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980, 28 U.S.C. §§ 351-364 establishes a process by which any person can file a complaint alleging a federal judge has engaged in “conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts” or has become, by reason of a mental or physical disability, “unable to discharge all the duties” of the judicial office.
A significant quantity of the incarcerated illegals has failure to appear warrants for ducking out on their scheduled immigration court hearings. Enabling the defendants in those cases to avoid trial clearly harms the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the immigration courts. Maybe the White House could do some research there.
Then there’s the whole “hold office during good behavior” issue. Does enabling felons to escape punishment and releasing them to run riot in our cities constitute good behavior? If not, it’s grounds for impeachment.
Whatever the rationale for his ruling is, the effect is evident.
Congress could settle this easily...remove immigration from judicial review
