This system has been broken by liberals.
And the Republicans allowed it.

They’re part of it. Either they’re corrupt or pussies... or corrupt pussies.

It wasn't funding, it was a grant. A grant is conditional and discretionary.

This judge just made it mandatory and unconditional.

Arrest these little Maos, put them on trial

[Yaelle]

Simple solution: fund them!—20.00 is enough

Smart freeper thinking outside the box.

A "tweet response" from President Trump lamenting how wrong and illegal this decision is simply will not do. Decisive action is required to prevent the Judicial Branch (the last bastion of government power held -- and being grossly misused -- by the Left) from usurping the authority of the Executive Branch as they have successfully done with the Legislative Branch.

Our republican form of government of three co-equal branches to prevent consolidation of power in one branch is literally at stake!

Our system must have a way of unblocking an unlawful order from some two-bit liberal fascist leftist on the bench.

We need to stick by him while he drains the swamp. And it's a very large swamp.

The Swamp is draining Trump. It is time for Trump and the People to go to war - or it's all over.

If the President or Congress doesn’t sign the check, no money goes. Trump could shut the government down, let the judge try to enforce the law himself.

My point exactly. Plus, Trump could also simply take several months to get around to sending money. And stonewall the judge if he complains.

>>Time for War<<

The government has become impotent. It does not work the will of the people. 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.

9th circuit ?

Not sure, but whoever, congress should defund this court.

[DOC44]

F’em and cut off the funds and take to the supremes.

[Reno89519]

We need new judges, maybe better government attorneys as well.

[heights]

Trump needs to go to War, but he won’t....

“Sanctuary cities simply should not exist.”

By definition, it would seem to me that they are violating the law. Federal law. They don’t deserve federal funds.

And I say that as a person who grew up in Chicago; the place is already a disaster area. But “Tiny Dancer” (the nickname a Chicago radio host calls Rahm Emmanuel) is apparently insisting on making it worse.

[virgil]

Do judges have the authority to tell the federal govt what they should fund?

[hillarys cankles]

Anyone, please tell me if I’m wrong.

When the Supreme Court was blocking FDR’s wishes at every turn, didn’t he threaten to stack the court with a bunch more supreme court justices? All within his power. He forced the courts to back off.

[Political Junkie Too]

Furthermore, funding comes from Congress. This was a Justice Department grant. No judge has the authority to demand that the Justice Department gives its budget away as the judges decide.

Ignore the bastard.

New law needed that says any city or jurisdiction that declares itself a ‘sanctuary city’ can now be held directly responsible for any damages that arise from their harboring criminal aliens..................
