Healey sues Trump, charges order strikes at 'lifeblood' of Mass. economy

Massachusetts (lesbian) Attorney General Maura Healey is suing President Trump over his controversial executive order on immigration that she said strikes at the state's “lifeblood” in barring workers and students vital to its universities, medical centers and technology firms.

“Because of our people we have truly become a global state and a global leader,” Healey said. “That’s just one reason why this executive order is such a threat — because it threatens the vitality, the livelihood, the lifeblood, that drives so much of Massachusetts.”

Healey's message to Trump: “No one is above the law.”

“Our job in government and here in the attorney general’s office is to make sure that we uphold the rule of law, that we uphold the tenets and the principle set forth in our state constitution and our United States Constitution,” Healey said. “The executive order is unconstitutional and must be struck down, and we need to be prepared at all turns to take action as an office when and if someone acts in ways that are unlawful or unconstitutional.

“Whether it the president of the United States or a federal agency … we will be prepared to take action,” Healey said.

Flanked by business leaders, education officials and directors from advocacy groups, the Democratic attorney general blasted Trump’s immigration order as “harmful, discriminatory and unconstitutional,” and announced that she’d join a federal lawsuit filed in Boston on Saturday against the measure.

“She ought to be disbarred for filing such a frivolous lawsuit”

This carpet munching public nuisance also has a suit against Exxon for global warming.

“Unfortunately so is the current Governor, Charlie Baker.”

Ah yes, Tall Deval, current leader of the republican wing of the Massachusetts Demonrat party.

So there is zero percent unemployment among Massachusetts natives that he has to truck in refugees to fuel the economy?

Didn’t think so.

Washington's Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, at the encouragement of leftist Governor, Jay Inslee, are suing the federal government in order to halt President Trump's immigration executive order. It is all grandstanding meant to keep Republicans from controlling both the State House and Senate. It should get tossed out, if the District Court observes the U.S. Constitution and Federal Law.

Ferguson’s complaint asks the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington to declare unconstitutional key provisions of President Donald Trump’s immigration Executive Order.

The complaint asserts that the President’s actions are “separating Washington families, harming thousands of Washington residents, damaging Washington’s economy, hurting Washington-based companies, and undermining Washington’s sovereign interest in remaining a welcoming place for immigrants and refugees.”

All of these assertions are baseless. What it comes down to is a matter of feelings. These leftist are having their feelings affected and it is doing them harm.

Feel this Communists! And it is not Washington rain:

IIRC, MA lost 2 House seats after the last census. No wonder the PTB there want open borders.

Healey's message to Trump: “No one is above the law.”

That's right, sweetheart, and you'll soon find out that President Trump's EO on immigration is entirely within the boundaries of the law.

So have fun with your frivolity, because when it gets b---h slapped down, you'll appear even more foolish than you do already...

There are many unemployed people in the Detroit, Michigan area.

Many people of Middle Eastern origin settled in the Detroit area about a century ago.

These people even speak English!

“Mass has three witches in power in your State: Maura Healey, Elizabeth Warren, and Katherine Clark. Drain the swamp!!!!”

Much of the eastern part of Massachusetts is swamp land.

They also have Rattlesnake Hills.

There are reasons why real estate around Boston is expensive.

Maura Healey = Rabid Dog.

Politically and legally, she needs to be put down.

Totally out of control—like Fauxcahontas, the Senator from MA.

What a terrible condemnation of the universities, colleges, public and private schools in mASS.

The educators above can’t produce enough educated Americans to meet the needs she outlined in mASS.

Was she in office when Obama banned travel from those same 7 countries when he was Potus.

President Obama puts six month ban on Iraqi refugees in 2011 and media…. crickets.

President Trump puts 120 day suspension, 60 days less than Obama, on Syrian refugees 2017… media explodes.

Obama selects 7 countries for enhanced visa security policy and media… crickets.

Trump uses Obama law, same Obama DHS policy, and same 7 countries; for a 90-day visa suspension, rats and media explodes.

Where was this $oreA$$ B$tch, when Obama probably sent 91 Cubans to death or worse when he refused to accept those 91 Cuban refugees from Mexico.

Full title...........................Obama Refused 91 Refugees – Sent Them Back to Castro’s Hell-Hole 2 Days Before Inauguration – Liberal Media Was Silent.........................

Mexico has returned to Cuba the first contingent of Cuban migrants since former U.S. president Barack Obama decided Thursday to end a U.S. policy of granting residency to Cubans who arrive on U.S. soil.

Mexico’s National Immigration Institute said Friday it put 91 Cubans on a federal police airplane and flew them back to the island after the Cuban government accepted their return.

Trump needs to immediately FIRE all rat attorneys in the DOJ, as they will intentionally manipulate the legal system against him. Hire a temp DOJ to get this resolved immediately!!! Like Rudy Giuliani!!

Precisely!! That’s why the federal judges need to be purged/newly-assigned as well. This is a MAJOR opportunity for us (Trump) at this time. God has given us one last time before we need to act.

When I was stationed in Japan in 1960 a Seaman 1st re-upped and had a new Healey waiting for him at his next duty station. And I bought his old car, which he'd been driving in Japan. It wasn't a Healey, but having even a '52 Studebaker in Japan in 1960 was a BIG deal. 😊
