Impeachment-Coup Update

The President, the rule of law, and our Constitution continue to be abused as the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump continues.

We’ve done many media interviews on the current crisis, notably with Lou Dobbs and Dan Bongino. (My interview with Dan was retweeted by President Trump!) The president is going to be acquitted but with significant damage to our republic, the very notion of self-government, our Constitution, and the rule of law generally. As I’ve previously noted:

There has been nothing in American history that compares to the coup attack against President Trump. It has been nothing but a wild abuse of the Constitution. Frankly, the word impeachment should be replaced with the word coup, because the president was illicitly targeted for removal from office for doing his job in asking questions about Ukraine corruption and its ties to Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden and Burisma. To be clear, the president was also attacked for objecting to the House Democrats’ abuse of his office.

The U.S. Senate should reject these acts of tyranny by the House of Representatives. In the meantime, you can be sure that we will investigate the Biden-Ukraine scandal, as well as the Deep State scandals and the illegal spying on the President of the United States. Our republic is at stake.

I encourage you to call your Senators to let them know what you think about this latest assault on our American system. You can reach them at 202-225-3121.

In the meantime, you can be sure that Judicial Watch will continue to do the heavy lifting in court to expose the historic scandal that is the criminal conspiracy and abuse targeting President Trump.


Judicial Watch Files New Supreme Court Brief in Key Abortion Case

Abortion advocates around the country are abusing the law as they challenge efforts to protect the health of women and their unborn children. We’ve gotten involved in one Supreme Court case in Louisiana, which passed a law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.

We have filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Dr. Rebecca Gee v. June Medical Services, et al. (No. 18-1460), in which we oppose abortion providers’ efforts to overturn Louisiana’s Unsafe Abortion Protection Act. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in the case on March 4, 2020.

In our brief we argue that abortion providers petitioning the court to overturn the law lack a legally protectable interest in the outcome, otherwise known as “standing.”

We point out that plaintiffs generally may file a lawsuit only to protect their own rights, not the rights of others. In this litigation, the lower courts allowed third party abortion interests to challenge the law on the theory they represent the interests of women. As our brief points out, expanding health and safety requirements for abortionists can be argued to be in the best interests of women:

Plaintiffs’ actual interests were made clear: unfettered access to perform abortions free of any regulation, ostensibly for financial gain. No individual women appeared as plaintiffs to the case. No women testified that they preferred not to have their abortion providers have admitting privileges or that they preferred abortion providers ignore the FDA-approved use of abortion medications. It defies logic to think women would not have an interest in these things, hence the conflict of interests between the litigant abortion providers and the third-party women right holders.

We urge the Supreme Court to rein in this abuse of the courts for political ends:

Petitioners’ claim of assumed third-party standing would effectively gut both the purpose and application of third-party standing. They would essentially be free to challenge any law that even indirectly touches on abortion simply because they fall into a category of favored litigants. This defeats the purpose of the political process, thwarts the will of the people, and contravenes the role of the Legislature. In every case where litigants like Petitioners have used assumed third-party standing, legislative hearings and debate, public hearings and debate, and political and election exercises have been for naught – completely neutralized by Petitioners’ desire to leapfrog the political process and usurp the courts.

It’s clear that the Supreme Court should put a stop to this misuse of the courts by interests that seek to overturn laws passed by the people’s representatives.

I appears now the Democrats plan for the impeachment trial is “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with bull$hit”.

It looks like for once Michael Savage was right when he warned Trump not to trust the GOP in the Senate.

Only 53 people need to watch this thing on Saturday and they are a captive audience. I’ll be watching, but I doubt I’ll be surprised by what the Trump team presents.

Half of this country believes the president is evil and nothing is going to change their mind; and 50% believe that Trump is the best thing that has ever happened to this country in decades.

Perhaps it’s time to program us up some liberal panic. I wonder how much crazier the left gets if all of a sudden there is a dramatic increase in the number of searches involving the words Biden, burisma, Obama then all sorts of illegal activity type words. Might be a good way to see how the network functions. Better start buying some domains and get some of my Russian bot programs dusted off

If President Trump is going to speak at the Impeachment Farce, I don’t give a darn what day it is. I will be listening. Most people these days have cell phones. Seems they could listen even if not ‘home’.

At least once each hour Trump’s lawyers need to spout:

“Democrat Senators will be learning stuff they were never told about by listening to CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC and NPR, because those networks censored everything that did not smear the President. In defense of the President, everything will sound shocking and new to your ears, because your chosen networks knew the truth would be disastrous to Schiff’s parody.”

This would help balance the Democrat’s snarky little remark that, “Republicans will learn stuff they never learned because they only listen to Fox News.”

What are you talking about? The only people who are getting played and who look like jackasses are the Democrats. It don’t matter a whit what the public sees, even though it will be recorded with all the highlights being replayed on TV. And it continues into the weekdays. In fact most people are off Saturdays and will be able to watch it if they want.

And anyone capable of critical thought understands Trump’s case has already been made. Why do you think even many of the Democrats are now admitting this whole impeachment BS is a lie and a loser that’s blown up in their faces?

“Honduras Arrests U.S.-Bound Iranians as New Caravan Heads North”

I know we’re all preoccupied with the Sham-Peachment, but this FACT cannot be lost in the fray.

President Trump IS providing us a wall...and it’s way, WAY South of our Border - and the SA Countries down the line as well as Mexico, ARE paying for it.

President Trump is going to be just fine, and will wear his ‘Impeachment Badge’ with honor.

‘Rats can POUND SAND! And President Trump WILL be re-elected...in a LANDSLIDE.

There is no doubt in my Military Mind! Keep the FAITH, Freepers! :)

You are so right, my FRiend.

The Rats are so ticked that Mexico and other countries are working with President Trump to stop the invasion of illegals they could chew nails.

They’re having tantrums right now because they know there isn’t a chance in hell that he’ll be removed from office and they know he’ll be reelected.

MAGA!
