Trump should not have called it a Executive Order, he only needed to explain as the law written in 1952 says, he was making a proclamation. He shot himself in the foot, it was a rookie mistake for sure.

Well, I did say “hope” LOL!

Would sure improve the whole Judicial Branch if some of the four feudal, anti-constitution SC Justices would go.

You're welcome.

Not meaning to get involved in a dispute between Freepers but just stating the facts.

Napolitano is a homo(albeit a barely closeted one) but these articles cannot be interpreted in any other manner.

Where he puts his pecker is not my concern but only God can judge him.

IMHO

Thank you for the apology. I don’t KNOW about Judge Andrew Napolitano, but I think it is plausible. I don’t believe John Roberts is gay or being blackmailed. I think he just cares more about his popularity with his fellow judges and DC than he does about the US Constitution.

It is about time that we had a President that stands up to the Supreme Court. We haven't had one for decades. The Supreme Court is supposed to be challenged, at time, either by the President or Congress.

If that had been done in the past we wouldn't now be dealing with some stupid and un-American decisions that have come out of that arrogant body.

Agreed. He should have remained silent instead of making comments like he did about President Trump's comments.

Lets say this is 1930. The The Immigration Act(The Johnson-Reed Act) was passed in 1924 which limited the number of immigrants allowed entry into the United States through a national origins quota. The quota provided immigration visas to two percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the United States as of the 1890 national census. It completely excluded immigrants from Asia. Before in 1917, there was an Act that required that required immigrants over 16 years old to demonstrate basic reading comprehension. That comprehension was to be determined in a test given at Ellis Island. A tax was exerted from each immigrant upon arrival and new requirements had to be met before one was allowed in. The total number of visas available each year to new immigrants was set at 350,000. The screening process was in full effect. Of course, the Johnson-Reed Act was racist. It caused an increase in illegal immigration. It was also anti-Catholic and the KKK rose up to eliminate Catholic immigrants. It became the law of the land until the quotas were eased in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and replaced in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

But imagine it is 1930. Suppose fifty ships filled to the max with Irish Catholics left Ireland’s Dublin Harbor and headed to New York Harbor. Instead of landing at Ellis Island, they unloaded en-mass in New York Harbor. What do you think would have happened then? It was a time of the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover was President. Illegal immigration was increasing. Increasing unemployment was at a crisis. Hoover reacted by launching a wave of raids and deportations affecting as many as 1.8 million men, women and children. The idealized notion that immigration in our past was a humane bright spot in our nation’s history is a myth.

About the same thing that happened to the Bonus Army.

Indeed it would be an improvement. I’ve had it with black robed tyrannical despots.

A great find. I was searching for an example like what happened to the Bonus Army. Not being a history buff, my search only covered the deportations caused by the rise of illegal immigration. I can imagine the Great Depression world wide. There would have been a huge pressure for people in affected countries to do anything to get to America. I have a great Irish grandfather who stole away on a ship to get into America.

“I would say that he is still being blackmailed.”

I would say that the blackmail issue never will end. You can’t un-adopt two kids. The crime has been committed and he is dealing with it. Because he’s dealing with it, we all must suffer.

Judge Napolitano is probably wrong in attributing the word "faithfully" to Madison. Madison was behind the Virginia Plan, introduced on May 29 by Edmund Randolph, but that version has nothing about the oath of office (and doesn't make clear if the national executive is to be a single person or more). There are many differences between the Virginia Plan and the final version of the Constitution.

The report of the Committee on detail on August 6 already had the provision that the President "shall take care that the laws of the United States be duly and faithfully executed..." I don't know whether Madison was a member of this committee.

Does Judge Napolitano really expect us to believe that the Framers of the Constitution intended that Anyone illegal entering the United States has a right to remain here for what is in REALITY indefinitely ?

“Links or it’s nothing but fake news.”

A photo of Roberts and two guys was posted a couple days ago. It’s one of those things that makes you go, “Hmmmm...” You know — like that pic of Obama and his butt boy cozying up in the middle of a sofa with plenty of space on either end of the sofa.

“Napolitano’s longtime friend James C. Sheil “

IIRC, Nap had referred to Sheil as his “partner”. I could be wrong, but I think he did.
