Sessions’s immigration orders threaten judicial independence


BY SARAH SHERMAN-STOKES  — 12/18/17 09:40 AM EST

An executive memo just released by Attorney General Jeff Sessionspromises to reduce the crushing caseload in immigration courts nationwide. Unfortunately, the memo contains dubious assertions about the current state of our immigration court system and appears poised to lead to improper hiring, dangerous quotas, a threat to judicial independence and the further erosion of the rights of noncitizens, including lawful permanent residents and asylum seekers.

Utter BS.  The pendulum of "Judicial Independence" has swung way too far, to the point Judicial is now the most powerful branch of the Government, which it was never meant to be.
