 GOP lawmakers urge Trump to respect federal court rulings
by Alexander Bolton - 02/12/25 6:00 AM ET

Senate Republicans are urging President Trump to respect the rulings of federal judges who have blocked his executive actions to freeze spending federal grants and loans, dismantle the U.S. Agency on International Development (USAID) and ban birthright citizenship.

GOP lawmakers have been reluctant to criticize Trump’s actions, fearing it could make them targets for primary challenges next year.

But they are growing increasingly worried about the nation plunging into a constitutional crisis if Trump ignores court orders halting his most aggressive actions.

“The White House should comply with court rulings, the Congress should comply,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday.

“We have a judicial system. If you don’t like the ruling, you can appeal the ruling and you can follow that through. But we are a nation of laws and it is not necessarily for you or I to be the final arbiter here. This is why we entrust the judiciary with this responsibility,” she said.

Trump later on Tuesday said he would abide by court rulings, and that he would appeal those with which he disagreed.

Watch and see who steps up to 'advise' Trump to back off, because chances are they are chin deep in the grift.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Plunging into a constitutional crisis because of Trump?  I declare b.s.  Quite the opposite.

Phone calls to our GOP Senators need to be made saying we want Trump to fulfill the will of the people and that includes ending birthright citizenship.

They should instead be urging federal judges to respect the Constitution.

Reporters always run to Murkowski and treat her pronouncements as if they represent the Republican Party at large, completely ignoring the mood in the rest of the room.
