If you ever doubted that Washington’s corrupt cartel of Democratic law
firms, judges, NGOs, and deep-state bureaucrats is a machine designed to
thwart the Trump administration, just watch as judge after judge blocks
the president’s ability to keep his campaign promises.
It may not be brown paper bags changing hands, but this lawfare that
defies the people’s will is every bit as corrupt.
It will be up to the Supreme Court to define the limits of presidential authority, but Chief Justice John Roberts’ preemptive scolding of Trump
for musing about judicial impeachment doesn’t bode well for the president.
Trump won a resounding mandate in the November election, winning every
swing state, the popular vote and both houses of Congress.
Democrats are rudderless, fighting each other and incapable of mounting an effective opposition.
So they are depending on the federal courts to be the “last bulwark
against Trump,” as the New York Times puts it, celebrating the fact that
almost 600 federal judges in courtrooms from Rhode Island to Seattle can
issue emergency rulings to “stop the White House in its tracks.”
Politico has dubbed it the “court case presidency,” noting approvingly
that “the courts have provided the only real opposition to Trump 2.0 so
far.”
And so they have.
According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, judges issued more than 14
injunctions against Trump administration actions in February alone, with
160 “resistance” lawsuits winding their way through the system.
For example, we had Judge James Boasberg, an appointee of President Barack Obama, blocking the deportation of illegal alien criminals deemed a
national security threat.
Judge Theodore Chuang, another Obama appointee, blocked DOGE’s dismantling
of USAID, which turned out to be a slush fund for shady Democratic
projects rather than a foreign aid agency, and ordered a stop to the
freeze on $2 billion being sent out of the country.
Judge Ana Reyes — an appointee of President Joe Biden — blocked Trump’s executive order banning transgender individuals from military service.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt weighed in at her press
conference Wednesday, pointing out that “67% of all of the injunctions in
this century have come against … President Donald Trump … and 92% of those
have been from Democrat-appointed judges. This is a clear concerted effort
by leftists who don’t like this president and who are trying to oppose or
slow down his agenda.”
The judge who has most angered Trump is Boasberg, chief judge of the notoriously left-leaning Washington, DC, District Court, who convened an emergency hearing Saturday to block the deportation of 251 dangerous
illegal alien criminals, going so far as ordering that the planes be
turned around in midair.
Midair disaster attempt
Trump had invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 Saturday to deport two planeloads of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, who he declared are “perpetrating, attempting, and threatening an invasion or predatory
incursion … and conducting irregular warfare against the territory of the United States … at the direction, clandestine or otherwise, of the Maduro regime in Venezuela.”
The planes landed in El Salvador, which is being paid $6 million to detain
the deportees for a year, as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown
on Biden’s disastrous illegal migration project.
“One unelected federal judge [is] trying to control foreign policy,” Bondi railed Wednesday.
“There are 251 reasons why Americans are safer now because those people
are out of this country.”
But Boasberg has stepped up his pressure, demanding DOJ lawyers provide
minute details of the flights — potentially to hold members of the administration in contempt and serve as the basis for a future impeachment
of Trump.
Trump lambasted Boasberg on Tuesday as a “radical left lunatic, a
troublemaker and agitator,” and called for his impeachment.
Some Republican members of the House are moving to impeach the judge for
what they say was a “lawless” order that endangered national security.
“The judge in this case put the lives of every single person on those
aircraft at risk,” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told
CNN.
“Did he know how much fuel was in those planes? Did he know the flight conditions? Did he know the weather conditions? Did he know how many crew hours? Did he know the need for crew rest? Did he know any of that? No.
This judge violated the law. He violated the Constitution …
“These same district court judges didn’t do a damn thing to stop Joe Biden
from flooding this nation with millions of illegal aliens. [They] didn’t
issue any injunctions to save the lives of Jocelyn Nungaray or Laken Riley
… How are you going to expel illegal alien invaders from our country who
are raping [and] murdering little girls if each and every deportation has
to be adjudicated by a district court judge?”
Back with a vengeance
The same lawfare that haunted Trump’s first term and dogged his four years
in the wilderness is back with a vengeance.
After the Russia hoax and two impeachments, Trump’s enemies used the
courts to try to bankrupt him, throw him in prison and take him off the
ballot. When all else failed, they tried to assassinate him.
But the lawfare only made him stronger as the American people woke up to
the ruse.
Now his mugshot has pride of place in a framed New York Post cover in a corridor off the Oval Office.
Haven’t Democrats learned their lesson?
“They can’t help themselves,” says attorney and legal commentator Mike
Davis, who founded the Article III Project to push back on lawfare against conservatives.
“Dems are like fat kids at the all-you-can-eat buffet.”
Davis wants Boasberg impeached and says even if the attempt isn’t
successful, the process would be worth it to act as a deterrent to other activist judges.
In her press conference Wednesday, Leavitt read off a list of dangerous criminal aliens captured in recent days by ICE agents around the country,
who should be next on Trump’s deportation list, if only activist judges
get out of the way.
In San Francisco, ICE arrested a citizen of Guatemala convicted of sexual battery. In New Orleans, it nabbed an Ecuadoran citizen convicted of rape
on Long Island.
In Dallas, another Mexican with convictions for assault with a firearm and “rape with a foreign object” was picked up.
Houston ICE arrested a Guatemalan convicted of indecent sexual contact
with a child.
“These are heinous criminal alien monsters who the previous administration allowed to flood into this country,” said Leavitt.
Yes, and these are the monsters whom the Democratic lawfare machine is
working overtime to keep in the country, in opposition to a president who
is doing what he was elected to do.
The Supreme Court needs to rein in the lawfare, or we won’t have a
country.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.
Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
