I'm glad you reminded me of this. It didn't register with me at the time why Justice Alito was so adamant that the district court lacked jurisdiction with the USAID 2 billion dollar ruling.

Roberts is going to be confronted with having to uphold the Constitution whether he wants to or not. Otherwise our judicial system is going to lose all credibility.

Roberts I'm convinced is compromised and Barrett ... well, I'm not so sure that she hasn't been as well.  Just sayin'.

Never mentioned:  The Judicial Branch of the Federal Government consists of exactly nine Justices and nothing more.  All inferior Courts are part of the Legislative Branch, and are under the control of Congress.  Any decisions from them against the Executive Branch are violations of the separation of power.

A normal SCOTUS would shoot this down in an instant, but we don't have one when we have Barrett and Roberts.

Total and utter bullshit.  Go read the Constitution.

Art III, sec. 1, first sentence:  "The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

The district courts and the circuit courts are all "inferior courts" that have been ordained and established by Congress and they are therefore Art. III courts that exercise the judicial power of the United States.

They are most definitely not so-called administrative courts, like the U.S. Tax Court.

The wife of Obama judge blocking Trump's deportation of illegal criminal aliens is the founder of an abortion NGO funded, indirectly, by USAID and Soros. I understand his daughter also may receive taxpayer funds for some leftist cause.

Protecting Terrorists Is Just The Latest Of Judge Boasberg’s Partisan Activism
An activist judge in Washington, D.C. tried to prevent Trump from deporting designated terrorists from U.S.
By: Beth Brelje

Miraculously, another case aiming to choke off President Donald Trump’s executive authority has landed in the lap of U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg.

The activist judge in the Washington, D.C., federal court worked overtime this weekend overreaching his power in a failed attempt to stop Trump from deporting alleged members of Tren de Aragua, which is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. ...

Last year, President Joe Biden’s administration designated Tren de Aragua a transnational criminal organization, meaning this was not just a Trump thing. Everyone agrees, Tren De Aragua are bad hombres. Who could be opposed to removing terrorists from the U.S.? Hardcore Democrats who passed the bar exam and are still hellbent on seeing Trump fail. Even if it means a few more daughters are raped and killed by terrorist gangs.

By Saturday, opposition to terrorist deportation surfaced from the anti-American ACLU and the far left lawfare firm, Democracy Forward, led by Marc Elias (he has an entire page at The Federalist). The meddling attorneys whipped up a complaint and went to Old Faithful, Judge Boasberg. They asked for a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump Administration from the deportation. ...

Between August 2016-June 2017, four FISA applications were requested and approved, launching the Russia collusion hoax that attacked Trump for years. Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith later pleaded guilty to lying on one of the FISA applications, a serious violation that carries a maximum five years in prison. As “luck” would have it, Boasberg was also the judge in Clinesmith’s case, and he served no prison time. 

Boasberg has handled dozens of Jan. 6 cases and has sent many Trump supporters who were at the Capitol that day to prison, a harsh outcome compared to his Tren De Aragua gang ruling. ...

If everyone agrees they should be deported, then why not deport them in the normal way instead of trying to twist the AEA into pretzel bits?

Normal way??  What would that be??  Obviously deportations that accommodate and cater to the poor ILLEGALS who are raping, murdering, and torturing our citizens ISN'T WORKING!!

For crying out loud.  Our country has been invaded by ILLEGALS, our citizens are being attacked and murdered by them and people are worried about HOW they are being deported?    :thud: :thud:

Finally something from SCOTUS

excerpt:

Quote
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts indicated in a statement that seeking impeachment is not an appropriate response when disagreeing with a judicial decision. 

"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose," he said in the statement.

The impeachment bandwagon is so ... well, leftist. It's what they did to Trump, after all.

No, the House Should Not Impeach Judge Boasberg Over His Tren de Aragua Restraining Order

I have previously written against calls to impeach federal judges who have ruled against the Trump Administration in the issuing of temporary restraining orders (TROs) and preliminary injunctions. The latest target of such calls in the House is  District Court Judge James Boasberg, who issued a temporary restraining order against Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.  GOP members are making a mistake in engaging in the same impeachment craze that took hold of the Democratic members in prior years (and continues this year). The way to respond to such rulings is to appeal them, not to try to remove judges (which is neither warranted nor likely).

One of the greatest abuses of the Democratic party in the past eight years has been their use of impeachment investigations and charges against their political opponents. From President Donald Trump to conservative justices, liberal members have demanded impeachments over everything from opposing the NFL kneelers to hanging revolutionary-era flags. ...

That would be using the laws Congress duly enacted to remove aliens who were present illegally. 

There’s a whole comprehensive system of immigration law.  Maybe you should try reading it sometime.


And if it’s not working as it’s supposed to, then Congress can change the law. It’s what Congress is there for. 

But no; let’s have a major temper tantrum and misuse a law that was not written for this circumstance and do it in a way that gets everything undone by the courts, so that the only lasting effect is the animus and hatred it engendered.

Wow.  Way to go Mr Trump.

Really?  So, what foreign government has declared war on the U.S. or has perpetrated an invasion or predatory incursion against US territory?

I really wish yall would learn to read statutes.  The AEA requires that a foreign government have acted before the president can use it.  So far, that hasn’t happened. 


So no - emphatically no - Trump is not using the statute as intended, or as written, and the judge is correct.

So, according to that logic, any government on earth can seek to infiltrate its trash into the United States as long as they don't declare war on us first.  I don't think so!

No, you didn’t read the statute.  A foreign government must EITHER declare war, or perpetrate an invasion or predatory incursion against US territory.

50 USC sec. 21.

Lots of noise about impeachment. We must study every ruling & act accordingly w/ everything on the table (noting: 14 Dem votes required in Senate.). But, more fertile ground… 1) House can pass a resolution stating there is/was an invasion, 2) we can defund radical courts.

Although the Alien Enemies Act has only been invoked in major conflicts, Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Harry S. Truman continued using the law after the cessation of hostilities in World Wars I and II. World War I ended in 1918, but the Wilson administration used the law to intern German and Austro-Hungarian immigrants until 1920. And World War II ended in 1945, but the Truman administration used the law for internment and deportations until 1951. In its 1948 Ludecke v. Watkins opinion, a narrow majority of the Supreme Court upheld the Truman administration’s extended reliance on the Alien Enemies Act, reasoning that it was not the judiciary’s place to second-guess the president on a matter as “political” as when a war terminates and wartime authorities expire.

General info above, it sure looks like most of what Pres. Trump has been doing was researched and is on solid legal footing.

The country has been invaded and illegal aliens are only one component of the asymmetrical war we are in.
