Supreme Court Hands Trump Administration A Decisive Victory Over A Rogue Judge And The Lawless Ninth Circuit In a Supreme Court blow against liberal activist judges 'rolling their own' rather than following the Constitution and legal precedence Trump wins a decisive victory over the ACLU and various politically motivated leftist organizations. Pretty much these leftist organizations judge shopped until they found a Trump hating liberal activist judge who would rule that Trump and company had no legal standing to take money earmarked for preventing drugs from entering the nation to use that money to build a wall to prevent drugs from entering the nation. The judge ruled in the Open Borders Left's political benefit and the liberals infused Ninth Circuit Court upheld the rogue judge's decision. Trump took it to the Supreme Court and Justice Roberts and a majority of the court decided that Trump was perfectly within his rights as Chief Executive of this nation to use that money to help build the wall. Well . . . duh! Eventually Roberts is going to get tired of having to go through the process of over turning the rulings of rogue leftist judges and begin issuing stinging rebuttals where they will do the most good. https://www.redstate.com/streiff/20...ve-victory-rogue-judge-lawless-ninth-circuit/ It's as if liberal activist judges think that the judicial branch supersedes the other two branches of government.
No reason why it shouldn't have been 9-0. That moving around of financial priorities in Congress happens all the time. Of course the decision also assure The Trumpster of a second term, which is likely why it was closer than it should have been. Nancy Pelosi's comical response is at the 14;30 minute mark.
All these 5-4 judgments is troubling from a constitutional perspective. Something needs to be done to stop some low level federal judge from making nation wide injunctions.
Yes . . . how DARE Trump do what I as Speaker of the House do all the time! But I also liked Nancy's response earlier in the segment when asked if she and A.O.C. buried the hatchet after yesterday's private meeting and Nancy's reply was . . . there was no hatchet. Of course hers and A.O.C.'s hand were both gripping a hatchet with hatred for one another in their eyes while she said that. Nice!
From what I have read only the Supreme Court justices themselves can do anything to stop all this 'judge' shopping by radical leftist groups. Well, I suppose that the Legislative Branch could create a law addressing the issue, which would thereafter be challenged by a host of . . . liberal . . . activist . . . judges.
This is a huge win for Trump and the democrats are throwing a temper tantrum over it for multiple reasons. First it's a political loss and they will no longer be able to claim Trump isn't keeping a campaign promise. Secondly they know the wall will work and stop illegal immigration and last but not least the democrats fear America will see the wall works which will not bode well for them in the coming election.
That wall will pay for itself in no time. It may be a 'racist' or 'inhumane' symbol to some overly sensitive snowflakes but Trump also understands what a good investment it is. He may also have saved a great many American lives.
Federal judges who are overruled 3 times by the supreme cpurt are incompetent and should be automatically removed from office
What comes as a complete mystery to me is why Trump fans are so determined to prevent increasing border security in a meaningful way. Homeland security says less than 6% of illegals come in between ports of entry where the monument is proposed and virtually no illegal drugs. Invest the money, as Congress has tried but Trump blocked, in improvements to border checkpoints and increase the Coast Guards equipment budget. Just a couple of weeks ago the Coast Guard caught a submarine with a huge cargo of drugs. They say they catch only a tiny percentage of them because they only have two ships patrolling thousands of square miles due to budget constraints. If you want to build a monument say so but don't give us bull about increased border security.
Exactly how are illegal entrants between border checks counted? Dems refuse to help fix border crisis because bashing Trump is more fun. There isn’t a good solution, and the continual ratcheting up of the rhetoric by the left only ends up actively harming these kids. Democrats are telegraphing the message that as soon as they win the White House, people who cross the border illegally can stay. Sen. Bernie Sanders referred to “racist child prisons,” because the Trump administration is housing children at an army base that served as a World War II internment camp for Japanese-Americans. He was silent when the Obama administration did the same thing. Will a President Sanders detain any migrants? Sen. Liz Warren says, “We should not be criminalizing mamas and babies trying to flee violence at home or trying to build a better future.” Sounds like her administration would let everyone in, too. But we simply can’t admit every mama and baby (and presumably a daddy or two). Such unrealistic rhetoric will only exacerbate the misery of the migrants and serve as a boon to the smugglers who profit off their misery. Open Borders Democrats are out of step with voters.
There is no such thing as a low level federal judge. I'm more concerned with 9-0 rulings. A 9-0 ruling says that the case never should have gotten to the SCOTUS in the first place and the lower courts have failed in their job. A SCOTUS case should always revolve around interpretation, not precedent.
Much like them conservative activist judges it seems. And I'm sure you;ll correct me if I am wrong, but the judicial branch is the one that interprets the constitution and the laws of the land in adjudicating relevant disputes. The system seems to be working. You know that whole structure where one has the right to appeal any adverse ruling by a judge to another court. But I get how politicizing the judicial branch is the very best way to suborn it.
Open Borders Democrats? Makes a great partisan bumpersticker for the stupid and uninformed, fraught with "meaning" but lacking in substance.
What do you mean, as if? The entire Democratic party relies on left-wing judges to enforce its policy decisions when those decisions prove deeply unpopular with the American public. The Supreme Court rubber-stamped Obamacare, not because they thought it was Constitutional, but because conservative judges don't think the Supreme Court outweighs both of the other branches of government. S.Ct. vetoes of liberal policies coming out of Congress in the last 50 years are so rare that you can tick them off on one hand.
