It would seem the radical liberal left has unleashed the judiciary on the executive branch. In effect, the federal government is cannibalizing itself from within! What a country, how is our system of governance supposed to work when separate, but equal branches of government are at war with each other and openly hostile towards one another?

Yes, the left uses the judiciary to enforce nation wide TRO’s in response to policies it doesn’t agree with, but the opposite seems not to apply. In other words, why seemingly were there no legal remedies for the intentional obfuscation of enforcement of US immigration laws, thereby allowing millions of undocumented migrants into our country and in effect, “flooding the zone?”

So many times we see a race to the bottom by the left. Whether it be flooding the zone with illegals, or massive demonstrations in the streets as recently advocated by Illinois Governor, JB Pritzker. Yes, the left uses these and other tactics to intentionally overwhelm our system and openly root for the failure of our system of government!

These tactics are nothing new, have been tried before, nothing less than treachery at the highest levels and clearly Marxist in origin.

Very good LT.

The appeals court’s comment that…”The government is likely to succeed on the merits because the district court likely lacked “subject-matter jurisdiction to enjoin USAGM’s personnel actions.”

Seems pivotal. Because that argument can and will be applied to many of these cases against the president.

Article ll describes the president “shall” “ make sure the laws are faithful executed” as a proscribed duty. And as the president does his executive actions, by a variety of means, to ensure fraud is not being committed, waste and corruption are not being suborned in the spending of the people’s money.. district courts are butting in for political aims.

This new dicta from the appeals court’s in USAGM, is pointing out the district courts lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Saying these many district courts all over the country, lack subject matter jurisdiction to enjoin executive actions. Actions that are directly proscribed by Article ll of the constitution.

In sum, a good first step towards settling the matter of district courts running the executive branch.

In the tax world there exists the tax injunction act.. where if a business or person wishes to adjudicate a tax law, they must pay first and litigate later.

We could use similar deference for the executive branch. Whose duty is to move quickly with dispatch and without interference from inferior courts, because our national security depends on potent executive power.

Thomas Cole has it correct” The government is likely to succeed on the merits because the district court likely lacked “subject-matter jurisdiction to enjoin USAGM’s personnel actions.”

Now let's brings this all back to Santa Barbara. How many Ex Parte TROs filed with NO NOTICE and lack of lawful service to litigants in the SB Court? THOUSANDS.

If there is NO NOTICE and lack of timely SERVICE, there is NO JURISDICTION.

Welcome to Santa Barbara where the law ceases to exist.

Let’s hope the Supreme Court brings these ridiculous suits to a halt by limiting district judges to their own districts.

LT's avatar

Playing off today’s clever cartoon, can anyone imagine a District Court imposing a TRO halting Sherman’s march to the sea?

Well lets THINK BIG How About District Court Imposes TRO on D-Day

More of the same lawfare put forth by the [D] & [DS] actors, BUT with greater intensity, impacts, & implications and [they] go down in flames…

Well, as I am short on time, I cannot read all of the comments. But I will say this... Whatever the outcome this will set a precedent forever. In short, I hope we win. But given that, I hope conservatives win the next (at least) 9 elections so that I can die knowing that our freedom, which wasn't free, still prevails. God bless our country. God bless President Trump. The truth shall set you free. May we all be free 🙏🏼

Thank God for intelligent judges that follow the law and have common sense and stop authoritarians.

You wrote an entire post without the word 'union'. You might be getting tired this afternoon.

Julia Gonzales's avatar

Sorry JL I’m trying to catch up on everybody’s articles and comments, but my life just keeps getting in the way. And truthfully yes, my mattresses all still have their tags on them, so do my pillows. I’ll text you pictures if you don’t believe me.

Nothing wrong with investigating government waste, fraud, abuse, and inefficiencies. What was wrong is the way it was carried out. Without any rhyme or reason? Like a bunch of drunken crazed apes, let loose on the White House. The way trump is spending money willy-nilly, there are no dollars being saved. I’ll bet our credit rating isn’t doing much better.

JL, I live for your critique. ✌🏼

I guess conservatives don’t believe in the Major Questions doctrine anymore?

LT's avatar

Not when it is intentionally weaponized in especially environmental cases, and has created a self imposed paralysis within our federal government. Inversely, I guess liberals don’t believe in Article II anymore? What’s next, some nutty District Judge imposing a TRO against the administration in sending weaponry to Israel?

LiberalProf's avatar

“Weaponized” is what people say when they don’t like how other people use completely legitimate rules and laws to produce an undesirable outcome.

LT's avatar

Is that the same garage you indoctrinate your students with?

LiberalProf's avatar

In the sense that I challenge their leftist beliefs from the same perspective, yes. Do y’all release how much Trumpism looks like Maoism? The cult is personality is ludicrous.

LT's avatar

Let’s see, men can become women and can have babies, or how about the sky is falling environmentally and we all have 12 years to live…that cult?

LiberalProf's avatar

Ok, not at all responsive to my point—you won’t find me defending any of that stuff, but Trump is not a conservative!

Gerald Rounds's avatar

"Cult" is a baseless smear. How about supporters of hope and change?Trumpism is like Maoism? How close are we to the slaughter of tens of millions? Where are people being dragged out of their homes, paraded through the streets and publicly shamed at the hands of thugs as was characteristic during the Cultural Revolution? I'm curious LiberalProf, what is your field of study?............And anyone, what is SLAPP?

Thomas John's avatar

SLAPP - Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.

And I think the Maoist likeness the Prof was suggesting is not about political ideologies or outcomes, but about similar tactics.

Both are/were charismatic.

Both are anti-establishment and anti-norm. Either against elites or drain the swamp.

Both demand loyalty.

Both use symbolism. One the Red Guard - the other red hats, etc.

So similar in gaining traction, even if the ride and destination was totally different.

Right you are JL and the punchline? Our students are becoming Alinsky zombies, all subsidized by our tax dollars, what could possibly go wrong!

That’s what the appeals courts are for!

We are seriously going to equate legislative restrictions on behavior of the executive branch with lawsuits to stop or scare average people from exercising their legal rights? He’s the most powerful man on earth. I remember when conservatives used to believe that merited some amount of constitutional scrutiny.

THOMAS M. COLE JD's avatar

I think the point is that Trump is the voice of these people. They have been fired, shut down, off shored and denigrated. Now their voice is being SLAPPED

In essence, legalized extortion and hostage taking.

I agree with Brent that district court judges are abusing these injunctions, however something Brent didn't discuss is that they were extremely useful during the Obama and Biden Administrations, particularly during the pandemic. There were 26 injunctions issued during those 12 years. Some of the most beneficial were injunctions prohibiting Covid vaccine and masks mandates. There were a number of injunctions which rolled back EPA mandates which would have crippled our fossil fuel industry. There was one which stopped DAPA, a program which would have made it easier for illegal immigrants to apply for residency. Another halted student loan forgiveness. There were a number of injunctions that blocked Biden executive orders that used Covid to limit the separation of church and state by imposing harsher rules on churches than other organizations. Anyway, there are always unintended consequences of whatever reforms we think useful now which will come back to bite us in the ass in an administration of the opposing party.

JL; perhaps you might wish to provide some actual facts to back up your “alternative” facts. I see nothing but (very) energized democrat voters, mirroring the dear leaders continuing drop in the polls.
