I read every post and not one advocated firing judges. Isn't that the topic? "All over the internet" more fake bs. I honestly don't think some of you are going to make it for 4 maybe 8 years.
Cute post Ron... my understanding of the law is that judges cannot be fired they need to be impeached. To be impeached they need to have committed a crime or some form of an immoral act. Making a ruling or a decision that goes against the acts of the Emperor is not an impeachable offense. Well not yet anyways ! Not until Donald Vladimir Trumpovsky become emperor.
Yes fired if it could be proven they were doing this only because of partisanship, or some nefarious motive. These days it is hard to know if the actions of a judge is driven by his primitive tribalism or if he is honestly seeing something that looks like the current law or the Constitution is being violated. If a judge is so unprofessional as to go against trump because he dislikes him, he should be fired. But this is impossible to prove unless he confessed it. LOL
One of the first thing that the Left did after completing their takeover of the nation's universities from the Right was to forbid common sense from being used or promulgated. Well that along with thereafter eschewing the possession of ethics, integrity, or honor. Essentially if you have any of that you snuck it in with you.
Do you mean like "Pizzagate?" The left has nothing on the right when it comes to sowing fake news. Just look at Breitbart, Infowars, World Nut daily or any of your other right-wing sources of information. No doubt they'll be switching to Russian propaganda outlets pretty soon.
Firing judges for making bad decisions is quite a stupid idea. Given the time it takes to get judges appointed, firing them would render the benches woefully understaffed. There are methods to remove bad judges, called impeachment. And a bad decision is in the eyes of the beholder. Far to much of a partisan action than anything that is given adequate thought and study.
A clerk, correct? Incapable of doing her job due to her cult/myth beliefs? How is that comporabble to a federal judget issuing a ruling?
That wasn't directly my point. The talk about "firing the judge" is rhetoric but it's generated by real attacks and insults launched against the judge by Trump himself and others. The key problem is that they're not questioning the legal validity of the decision or the basis on which it was made (which ironically I think they could have done) but appear to be simply stating that there should be no legal question at all over the Executive Order because Trump says it's about protecting Americans. Can you not see the dangerous logic behind that attitude? This is only a stay on parts of he EO until their legality is established. Maybe if it hadn't been rushed in so quickly, ignoring some legal advice in the process, this problem wouldn't have come up. It's also worth noting that the elements of the EO requiring the relevant agencies to produce reports on which further executive or legislative decisions can be made aren't covered by the stay and can continue.
Or to abolish the Court System, which has been long overdue to begin with. The morons in robes with their overly complicated version of English(that says surprisingly little) actually think they can rule over the political state. The Founders made the mistake of creating this rogue entity as a "checks and balance"(it's not a check and balance, it's an usurper of power.) and Jefferson bemoaned this mistake, but it was too late. With Dred Scott and the reversal thereof, the people on both sides noticed the Court's great evil to the State. And through Trump's EO, we're once again taking notice of the thorn in our society. The existence of the Courts. Get rid of them, they're an antithesis to freedom, even to a democracy.
Fed circuit judges are appointed. Until the SCOTUS makes a ruling it's anything goes for liberal dissenters ...
ah, so you want the President to be able to do what he wants, without any judicial oversight? that's Fascism.
I am a Fascist-Technocrat after all. There can only be a political state or a judicial state, and I have absolute contempt for the Courts. As seen in their inability to ever rule on the Middle Ground, I see no purpose in the judiciary. The Founders made a mistake in letting this thing exist. Only the Political State should exist.
I think the issue is that there are people on the right who actually advocate this - and that is frightening. There are people who want Trump to be the dictator. It's good that it seems it can't happen, but the right is getting scarier. I hope they are a small minority, but not so sure.
Federal judges have no authority under the constitution to enjoin either the President or Congress. The author of the Constitution Jefferson outright said so. The Federal courts were only to hear civil and criminal cases with no authority over any other branch of government any more than the President or Congress can order the Federal courts what to do. - - - Updated - - - What can be done is stop federal court forum shopping by Congress passing legislation defining limitation on shopping venue.
