Who can stop it? The Democrat State Media will never fight it, too many turncoat Republicans to get anything done in Congress. I think pitchforks and torches might be only way and since most of us are law-abiding citizens that’s not gonna happen.

Who can stop it?

It seems to me there should be three impeachment resolutions pending before the house judiciary committee. But there are none. Why?

This is from the judge:

The injunction says it “does nothing more than implement the effect of the Government’s flawed interpretation of the Order. It does not affect the ability of the Attorney General or the Secretary to enforce existing conditions of federal grants ... nor does it impact the Secretary’s ability to develop regulations or other guidance defining what a sanctuary jurisdiction is or designating a jurisdiction as such.”

So, toothless injunction?

I don't know just WHO Trump is listening to, however, I DO know that whomever it may be, they need to be sent packing!

This is WHY, since our nation began, people have been suspicious of those who have absolutely NO experience with any type of government experience...with some exceptions for generals; none of whom, except for Washington ( though he DID have dealings with the Congressional Congress,prior to America being a nation ), were much good at being president.

What I find shocking, is the fact that through the years, Trump has been interested in politics, but he NEVER seems to know much about it! All N.Y. state schools had the same syllabus, when he and I were in grammar school. Since I learned much of what I know, back then, about politics, especially in the 5th, 7th, and 8th grade, I'm now wondering if he has a lousy memory or slept through those grades. Also, private high schools, in most states, did ( and some still do! ) a GREAT job, starting with having to know and understand the Constitution, backwards and forward, back then and also we got a belly full of THE FEDERALIST PAPERS and the ANTI ones too.

Trump; also needs to learn HOW to break knees in Congress and get our supposed side on board with him.

Trump can legally have these guys arrested for sedition, treason, high crimes, fraud, etc.

Just do it.

They have zero standing whatsoever.

This is what I can’t figure out. How do criminals bring lawsuits to overturn the laws?

“Does it matter? Judges are despots which is just how the crooked politicians like it.”


Yep, it’s their out on promises. It furthers their agenda and they don’t get the blame.

You know a court will stop the wall too...IF they ever fund it.

“The President needs to address the nation, citing chapter and verse of the Law and the Constitution, showing point by point where the Judicial branch has overstepped its constitutional authority.”

The people of the United States don’t care. They are ruled by the Establishment and happy with it. Trump is boxed and WILL be impeached and convicted if he budges. They are signaling they have him and he will play their game.

The people won’t help him. They are meaningless peasants. And they won’t revolt. This nation had gone totalitarian long before Trump came around.

But for some reason he won’t. I guess cause he’s a law abiding President with a lot of integrity.

But we voted for him to do these things and a ###ing judge is turning everything back?

Send it to the SC.

We citizens are to just sit down, shut up and take a bite out of the big ol 54!t sandwich. Other than that......we have no remedy.

You only have no remedy if you truly believe you don't.

New law needed...

What - another law for the leftist judges on the courts to ignore?

Yeah, that'll snap 'em in line.

“Our forefathers dropped the ball on this one.”

We’ve reached the end of the American experiment. The limits of our system have been breached by an open revolt from the ruling establishment against the people’s will as demonstrated in a national election.

There is only way out of tyranny’s box (and we are firmly inside that box). And I very much doubt the American people are up to it.

He may well have not been paying attention in school! Remember by age 13, his parents sent him off to military school because he was getting to be too much for them to handle. This does sometimes happen with very intelligent boys.

My take is that he isn’t all that familiar with the Constitution and would greatly benefit from a strict constructionist crash course, asap.

This is one very intelligent man. But he’s not God. He needs lots of help, but not from the likes of Gary Cohn, Dina Powell, McMaster, etc. These creatures came on board on the advice and recommendation of the Prince and Princess.

He took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not to “obey” illegal rulings by usurping activist judges. He took the wrong path with his response to the judges blocking his immigration EO, and now has set a precedent for honoring their illegal usurpation.

It truly is one big, fat, hot mess.
