    Not when they heard their president told them Mexico will pay for this wall.

    Like they care about you. They haven't done anything about the border for decades yet you think they will do it now? Because you threatened not to vote for them?

    Hate-Trumpers overestimate the power of the courts.

    You never know what will happen when something is presented to a judge.

    We’ll see.

    You tell me how it's even possible to overestimate the power of our judicial system and rule of law? This is a country based on rules of laws. If we don't give power to the rule of law then what happens, lawlessness? Is this what you want, to usurp the power of our legal system to keep a check and balance on lawlessness and possibly anarchy?

    A president such as Trump has been, one that attempts to de-legitimatize our courts, is a man that's trying to get away with breaking laws, it's that simple.

    Ummm. I wrote "power of the courts".

    Apparently the difference between "rule of law", which I didn't mention, and "power of the courts" was too difficult for you to understand.

    Don't be too embarrassed. Everyone has their moments.

    Have they found an unelected democrat demigod to take over the other two branches of government yet?

    I think that you're the one with a problem with reading comprehension. In case you didn't know it, the courts are there to UPHOLD the rule of law. If you don't believe that the counts have the power to do that, then you're way out of touch with reality.

    Except when they make the law which is called judicial activism. That is the 'power of the court'.

    Not even in the slightest.
    You confuse your hyper-partisan, bigoted opinions with fact.
    Don't be offended - its common among your people.

    The problem, of course, is your unsupportable opinion that there's a rule of law to be upheld here.

    Excuse me? Projecting are we?

    I never wrote the courts don't have the power to uphold the rule of law.

    Learn how to be wrong gracefully. It appears that's something you're struggling with.

    Believe me, I'm not offended in the least. I have a tough hide that doesn't feel the least bit offended by anything a Trump defender says.

    Oh please, if you can't keep up with comments of others, at least try to keep up with your own. You started this with your ignorant comment. As I have clearly refuted your illogical statement, you have once again morphed your own comment into something that's completely disconnected from your own content.

    Seriously? You elected the king of chaos, and he even admitted it himself.

    March, 2018 at the annual Gridiron Press Dinner.

    "So many people have been leaving the White House. It’s actually been really exciting and invigorating. I like turnover. I like chaos. It really is good,"

    LOL

    Always fun to see Progressives degenerate into the personal attacks and insults. Apparently they think that sufficiently masks their lack of legitimate argument and logic.

    BTW - How could the courts side with these Federal Workers, when no legislation or appropriation bills have even hit the President's Desk?

    Care to explain that one?

    Have fun HumbledPi.

    You have a short-term memory problem, you're the one that started with the insults. Oh and about that bill to hit his desk? Well, there is a bill that is due to be voted on by the House any minute now but guess what, McConnell will refuse to take it to Trump. Yeah, now that's what we call partisans politics.

    This was an easy one to explain. RIght, ocean?
