Bingo. I learned that growing up, the quiet ones are the ones to watch. When they speak it really means something based upon real work. Love to know what he is doing to clean up his section of the swamp, and what they are really working on vs. the Obama Justice Department. My guess their new high priorities are MS-13 and all gangs, the border, and stopping human trafficking, not the Holderesque continuous busting of L.E.'s chops...
Europe has absolute control of their media, their courts and other institutions that have imposed a totalitarian policy of persecuting anyone who even mildly speaks out against the atrocities these monsters are committing.
I know many people have seen the following video. It is the norm, not an isolated incident:
"Italian Reporter sympathetic to muslim refugees gets assaulted by them at the Termini in Rome.(click on photo)"
Yet *another* instance of the need of Congress to do IT’S FRIGGIN’ JOB.
Surprised Sessions, Ryan and McTurtle weren’t in front of the cameras, shrugging their shoulders, saying, “Well, the Court has spoken...We TRIED.”
Even if a 5-4 ruling could be won in favor of Trump’s order, be sure that it would be a very narrow ruling, only applying to the situation at hand, leaving leftist judges free to do mischief in every other case.
There needs to be a definitive opinion that clearly affirms the president’s sworn duty to protect our border from OUTSIDERS for any reason.
Well then -- if that was done and somebody sued, and the judges decided in their own interests...what would happen?
Kleindienst v. Mandel, 408 U.S. 753 (1972) ... a 6-3 decision.
In this case, it was the AG who refused to grant a temporary nonimmigrant visa to a Belgian journalist and Marxian theoretician.
In summary, plenary congressional power to make policies and rules for exclusion of aliens has long been [408 U.S. 753, 770] firmly established. In the case of an alien excludable under 212 (a) (28), Congress has delegated conditional exercise of this power to the Executive. We hold that when the Executive exercises this power negatively on the basis of a facially legitimate and bona fide reason, the courts will neither look behind the exercise of that discretion, nor test it by balancing its justification against the First Amendment interests of those who seek personal communication with the applicant. What First Amendment or other grounds may be available for attacking exercise of discretion for which no justification whatsoever is advanced is a question we neither address nor decide in this case.
From a dissent in the instant opinion ...
The Court repeated Justice Harlan's holding that the government's power "to exclude aliens altogether from the United States, or to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which they may come to this country, and to have its declared policy in that regard enforced exclusively through executive officers, without judicial intervention, is settled by our previous adjudications." Id. at 766 (quoting Lem Moon Sing v. United States, 158 U.S. 538, 547 (1895))
Read the Lem Moon Sing case.
Then tell me there is no definitive opinion of the Courts that clearly affirms the executive's power to exclude classes of alien.
Courts are lawless - a great gig because they have been allowed to usurp the power to make law. The courts have demonstrated they are unworthy of deference or respect.
I read a great timeline of the Comey firing yesterday. You didn’t hear Sessions say one solitary word about that before it happened. That’s called actions speaking louder than words.
DOJ, (sorry but) retards: SCOTUS has the only jurisdiction over this proceeding, according _the_ law, USConstitution. SCOTUS has original and (therefore) only jurisdiction when a state brings a case against the Federal government. Hawaii is a state and an executive order is a via the Federal government.
Retards or just plain lawless actions by DOJ and most of DC?
If a judge ignored the law, and accepted jurisdiction of such a case, they would be in even greater disregard of the constitution than they are now. They would be denying the ability of Congress to determine their jurisdiction. That would be a different animal altogether from coming up with crazy rulings on cases that are legally before them. Their decisions would be entitled to no weight, and they should be removed for judicial misconduct. The clerks in those courts should not even accept a filing, just like the Supreme Court does not accept cases unless it comes to them from a proper source.
Except they don't want.
I completely agree with you about how lawless leftist courts have become, but they are not strictly lawless when it comes to an issue they hold dear. They strike down states’ proper laws to protect themselves from the externalities of illegal invaders when it’s a Republican state administration, but allow states to represent themselves in lawsuits attacking this same federal authority over immigration when a republican is in the federal driver’s seat.
Let a state negate the “gay marriage” ruling and see how “lawful” judges suddenly become.
Yeah - “lawless” isn’t the right word. “Dictators” works better, and lord knows dictators are up to their armpits in laws.
Heller was 5-4 and it still stands.
But is nevertheless attacked incessantly.
<>Why not find some republicans to impeach these judges???<>
There is zero political upside to reps or senators. Voting to impeach/convict will anger some constituents and sic the media on the offenders.
Return the senate to the states and be eventually rid of anti-9th and 10th Amendment lawyers.
Article V.
Muslims will take over the US because today’s congress is too corrupt to take on scotus and deny islam 1st Amendment protection.
The Bill of Rights IS a suicide pact, and will remain so until the senate is returned to the states.
Anything other than a 9-0 would be a loss.
Yes, those judges should be ignored, let them try to impeach. I said before the election the only way Trump could undo the Obamites agenda was to be just a ruthless as he was, others were shouting Constitution these judges demonstrate, why that ship has sailed. These judges and their ilk amend the Constitution by fiat on a regular basis.
Therein is the rub. Some day the people will learn that the Congress has happily hid behind the courts for years in order to stealthily implement their true agenda.
Good and great can’t be enemies.
