Here is the fatal flaw with DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg's order:
Even
if these designated foreign terrorists are entitled to individual court
review before their deportation, which is disputed, the DC court is not
the proper court.
Judge Boasberg did not, and does not, have the
power to do what he is purporting to do. For this reason alone,
everything he is doing is lawless. But it is much worse; it is also
dangerous.
Judge Boasberg ran to his courtroom to hold a Saturday
hearing, even though he was not even serving as the emergency judge
that weekend. (How did he get this case?) He publicly exposed an ongoing
U.S. military, intelligence, and law-enforcement operation with an
American ally dealing with the most vicious terrorists (Tren de Aragua)
and international gang member (MS13) in the Western Hemisphere.
That public exposure put American and allied lives in grave danger.
Stunningly,
Judge Boasberg even ordered the President to turn around planes full of
terrorists over the Gulf of America, without knowing the fuel levels,
the security footprint back in America, or other crucial operational
details.
We saw the enormous security footprint in El Salvador.
Why would we have had that same footprint in America, as who could have
ever imagined an activist DC judge could or would order the President to
return planes full of terrorists?
And not completing the mission
would have humiliated and politically damaged El Salvador's president,
who had hundreds of military, law-enforcement, and other officials
awaiting--and who took a significant political and personal risk by
agreeing to take these terrorists.
Judge Boasberg's Saturday
hearing and order crossed the red line. But Judge Boasberg is doubling
down by demanding details about the military operation, to which he is
not entitled. Judge Boasberg says he has a security clearance, but he
definitely does not have the need to know. And allowing judges to meddle
in military operations like this is dangerous and unacceptable.
Foreign
leaders are less likely to work with the President, if they fear an
activist American judge may disclose their secrets. This harms the
President’s ability to conduct foreign policy and his constitutional
duty to keep us safe.
The President has a constitutional duty, as
the chief executive officer and commander-in-chief, to conduct
international affairs, repeal foreign invasion, and protect American
lives. The President has a constitutional duty to ignore any clearly
unlawful court order that imminently endangers American lives, like
Judge Boasberg's orders.
Judge Boasberg is refusing to back down.
So the House must move forward with impeachment proceedings for his
lawless and dangerous sabotage of the President's core Article II
powers.
