Since the very beginning of his term as President, Donald
Trump has been hit with a lot of TROs, injunctions, and other legal
procedures blocking his measures to undo many of the things Biden did.
And a lot of the things Biden did are why Kamala Harris got a severe
beat down in general, not to mention her own incompetence in particular.
But the results of the last election demonstrated pretty clearly that
most voters did not care for DEI, FBI/Legal overreach, and perhaps most
of all, the invasion of illegal aliens enabled, abetted, and encouraged
by federally crafted negligence on our southern border. We didn't like
that, so we voted in someone who promised to restore the latter and
eradicate the former. The progressives did not like that, so after
coming out of shock, they began doing the same stuff that they did with
Trump before the election: lawfare. And even though those things didn't
entirely work out so well for them, they seem to be big believers in
persistence. If, at first, you don't succeed...
Everyone knows about Judge Boasberg
and Judge Reyes,
who blocked
Trump's deportation measures against terrorist gang members and the
prohibition of transgenders in the military. Last week, Trump called for
the impeachment of Boasberg and was rebuked
(at least indirectly) by SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts for doing
so. Checks and balances, I get it. Then you have U.S. District Judge
Jesse Furman
attempting to block
the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Middle Eastern guest who has no
inherent right to be here except at the pleasure of the federal
government. As a foreign national who actively supports terrorism on
college campuses, his proselytization diametrically conflicts with the
outlook of said government, and now he is a cause célèbre
of the American left. Move over, Luigi Mangione. So, to date, there are
some 30 at least, maybe more, injunctions against Trump's EOs and
orders. More likely to follow. It's a lot more than have ever been
issued against any other president in history.

So
okay, I understand that Trump is brash and bold, and while I am sure he
runs these measures past Legal before he issues them, it's apparent
that many of them are still...brash and bold. They're controversial, no
question. But are they legal? I guess we will learn soon enough since
the administration is currently going through the legal appellate
process to find a remedy. This will take time, and no doubt will be
slow-walked by a bureaucracy that hates Trump's guts. As for impeachment
of judicial members, it will never happen unless Republicans get 2/3 of
the majority in the Senate and hold a majority in the House two years
from now. So, I don't know what the answer to the problem is, but I do
have the following question about these federal judges who seem to have
realized the power they have over an administration.
Where were these Guardians of Justice when Joe Biden illegally
invited and lured in millions and millions of "new Americans and
undocumented immigrants?" Where? Why nowhere, of course. These robes
seemingly had very little to say about U.S. Code § 1325
(based on Article IV, Section IV of the Constitution) and its
undeniable violation. A violation that has, and will continue to for
decades, fundamentally changed the history of America. Letting in
millions and millions of aliens, and then making the citizenry pay for
their everything from schooling, health care, drunk driving
deaths, rapes, murders, and any other crimes they committed while here
has changed life for us all on many different levels.
Now, progs
like to use descriptors from "hard-working, good people seeking a better
life" to "who will pick our crops and make up our hotel beds?" (Note to
any progressives in the unlikely event of reading this: The latter
sounds an awful lot like "who will pick our cotton and sweep up around
the Big House?") Basically, I don't care if they are good people; I only
care if they are bad people because they should not be here in the
first place. We have plenty of our own good people and really don't need
any new bad ones.
Still, where were these judges when Biden (or
whoever was pushing the knobs behind the curtain) was busy
border-busting? This newfound sanctimony and sudden respect for the rule
of law was absent over the last four years, and the impact it will have
on this country is going to be generational. And I cannot help but
wonder if any of them can be suspended for impropriety. The only
reasoning I can follow is that they are either partisan or incompetent,
and neither of these will present well before the Federal Judicial Conference, the policymaking body of the federal judiciary. According to the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980,
a judge can be subject to complaint and reprimand for operating with a
bias, mental incapacity, or otherwise unable to do his job fairly. And
again, I think that if you're not going to enforce border law (when the issue is presented
to you), it's either because you're partisan or incompetent. This panel
cannot fire judges, but they can reprimand them and rule that they
should voluntarily retire. All that might do is put a scratch on their
legacy, but at least it does that. If these people are egomaniacs, maybe
it will hurt some. Who knows. Perhaps a reason they will give when
called into the principal's office is that "Well, President Biden never
issued an EO or a directive that we could properly strike down. He never
proclaimed verbally or in writing an order that effectively said, 'The
border is now open to all foreign nationals; come on in.'"
No, he didn't. He just (and again, it was probably somebody else)
covertly let the friendly bureaucracy know what his wishes were, went on
speaking tours welcoming all of our new friends, and gave them food,
lodging, and airfare. From that, all things flowed since the Left
clearly understood that the Great Replacement Theory was to become their
newest debutant. And, golly, what do you know? It was organic. It just
sort of happened, and nobody, not even Biden, could stop it. Force of
nature...
What I find really, really disturbing is that these
judges who are now blocking what we voted for because of their hallowed
respect for the law did not have enough of that same respect to question
what they saw happening on the news and in front of their faces every
day. They never considered issuing any sort of TRO or injunction against
Homeland Security or Customs Border Protection. Customs Border
Protection? Weren't those guys victims in all of this? Yes, but they had
to get their orders from somewhere, and filing an injunction against
them would have forced the government's hand. It might have at least
revealed the next level of fraud. But nobody did that. And Biden?
Doesn't the buck stop with him? If we can all agree that it did (and
yes, I know he was non compos mentis, but a TRO or injunction would
still have demanded a response), then where did all of this newfound
judicial courage to challenge the White House come from? Well, I guess
it came from hating Donald Trump. From institutional animosity comes
amazing things.
So, what can the new administration learn from this? I suppose they
can determine that new policy has to be implemented in the dark with a
wink and a nod...."Just do it...You know what the Boss means." I
guess they can also learn that eventually, when the Right relinquishes
power, our own federal circuit judges have the exact same tools to use
to block, obfuscate, and slow-walk a Democratic president's will. I'm
not advocating that because it corrupts a system we all believe in, but
on the other hand, progressives count on it to hamstring us. Trump, in
his last term and nearly 80 years old, could also simply ignore these
rulings and enforce his own orders anyway. Joe Biden defied a SCOTUS
ruling and forgave $48 billion
in student loan debt, and nothing happened to him/his administration.
No federal judge — neither on the circuit nor the highest court there is
— seemed to have anything to say about that. Well, why shouldn't Trump
do the same thing and just ignore them?
Because as tempting as that might be, Trump has more integrity
than that, and he knows it would help to wreck the system even more so
than it already is. So he goes through the appellate process and tries
to right the wrongs, relying on the same judiciary system that screwed
him in the first place. I just hope there are still some good judges
left in that pool.
