Federal judge orders Trump to reinstate Obama's Waters of the US rule
Washington Examiner ^ | 08-17-2018 | Josh Siegel

Posted on 08/17/2018 7:03:55 AM PDT by Kevin in California

A federal judge issued a nationwide injunction Thursday against the Trump administration for delaying the Obama-era Waters of the United States rule, dealing a setback to a key piece of President Trump's deregulatory agenda.

The decision by the U.S. District Court in South Carolina means that the so-called Clean Water Rule is again operative in 26 states where district courts have not halted the regulation.

Tell the judge to go “f” himself. He has no authority period.

“I wonder what would happen if Trump ignored the ruling.”

Paul Ryan would initiate impeachment proceedings.

By what legal authority can this judge make this ruling?

There has to be some way to stop these judges from making policy that does not have laws behind it. The president should be the only one making policy for the government not some random federal judge.

In all seriousness, pretend for a moment that you're a state "water regulator in, say, Bozeman, MT.

Are you going to follow the directives issued by the president, or some numbskull judge in South Carolina?

I think it's a valid question and scenario.

Remember when the W. Bush AG fired all those attorneys across America?

Imagine, if you will, having an AG with balls in the Trump Admin doing the same thing.

Something is very wrong with our system if some leftist judge can override the President the people voted for. Something very wrong indeed. At the very least the judges ruling should be put on hold while it goes up the chain with the original order standing. Most these leftist rulings are overruled in a higher court.

This is the clarity that putting yourself in others’ shoes brings to this issue. Thanks.

Congress needs to fast-track impeachment proceedings against Federal judges who try to usurp the authority of the other branches in this way.

Congress' no. 1 priority is to evade responsibility. That is why they let the bureaucracy and the judiciary encroach deeper and deeper into what should be Congress' role in governance. It is much more fun to make high dudgeon speeches about over-reaching bureaucrats or judges than to, say, pick up the responsibility yourself.

Nothing. That insane judge has no army. Trump does.

You should learn something about how federal judges are appointed. Then you’d know that this is being addressed at a pace never equalled under any other administration.

I have a little stream behind my backyard that occasionally overflows its banks and runs through the bottom of my back yard during a heavy rain. If some bureaucrat pays a visit and tells me I can’t mow back there, I will personally kick his butt.

Government by Obama too. Apparently every executive order by Obama is forever law of the land! This is tyranny.

“Why does that one judge win? Because he was first?”

You just the exposed the fallacy in these little federal judges decreeing rulings outside their freaking little jurisdictions.

Will not be some bureaucrat, but the Coast Guard (armed of course). Give them static and the Marshals Service will be paying you a visit you will not like.

There has to be some way to stop these judges from making policy that does not have laws behind it. The president should be the only one making policy for the government not some random federal judge.

Article III, Section I:

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. [emphasis added]
Congress can nip this in the bud. Set it up so that challenges to an EO go directly to SCOTUS, or if in a Federal court, that jurisdiction applies only to that district or circus. This is waaaaaaay overdue.
