Lawfare 2.0
Link to quote: Turley: Federal Judges Have Overextended Themselves, Have Intruded Into Areas Of Article II Presidential Authority | Video | RealClearPolitics
Leftwing District Court judges are now exceeding their authority in trying to obstruct President Trump's policies. It was all well planned and the planning began during the summer, well before the election. From Politico in July:
"Now, Democratic attorneys around the country are already gearing up for the possibility of a second Trump administration by beginning to map out an aggressive legal strategy to fight him again in court — this time with a fresh sense of urgency.
Democratic attorneys general are exploring hiring outside experts and dispatching staff to study areas of the law anticipated to come under attack, like reproductive health, immigration and the environment.
They are identifying staff members best equipped to fight assertions of executive privilege — which Trump invoked in his most high-profile controversies — and states best positioned to lead bigger cases.
And they are scrutinizing Project 2025 , the 900-page blueprint from The Heritage Foundation that lays out a conservative agenda for the next Republican presidency.
The early but serious preparations are an acknowledgment that a second Trump presidency would entail these lawyers filing lawsuit after lawsuit against the federal government, to mitigate what they view as a significant threat to democracy and individual rights."

The ruling class once again conspired to used lawfare against the will of the American people. In his first term President Trump faced 64 injunctions out of 127 injunctions issued since 1963. In a PBS interview on the "PBS NewsHour," Senate Minority leader gave away the game plan when he said:
"We did put 235 judges, progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump, last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.
And we hope that the appellate courts, when it gets up there and the Supreme Court will uphold those rulings."
"Chuck Schumer admits the quiet part out loud— Democrat-appointed judges are really activists who are there to stop Trump
Schumer Gives Away the Judicial Game in PBS Interview
Democrat state AGs, democrat activist groups including the ACLU and numerous law firms are all filing lawsuits. It will all come down to the SCOTUS and there are already 3 cases there. Chief Justice Roberts may be the person with the future of the Republic in his hands.
He must act soon.
In the news:
President Trump said he was very angry at Vladimir Putin for not being serious about peace and threatened to penalize countries that buy Russian oil if Russia thwarted a cease-fire deal with Ukraine.
Voters in Wisconsin will elect a new justice to the State Supreme Court tomorrow. The race has become a test of will and money between both political parties as well as a confrontation between Elon Musk and George Soros.
Israel has built outposts and fortifications in Syria and Lebanon. Hamas said it had accepted a cease-fire proposal, less than two weeks after a previous deal collapsed. Israel says not so fast. This time there will be new conditions.
The French have their own version of lawfare. A Paris court found Marine Le Pen "guilty" of embezzlement, endangering her plans to run for president in 2027.
The police in London forced their way into a Quaker Meeting House and arrested activists gathered there to plan Gaza war protests.

Good morning and welcome to the news.
Spring has finally sprung along the Potomac
Fox News Digital asked travelers in Washington, D.C., this weekend if it was illegal to touch or pick the cherry blossoms in bloom. (Ashley J. DiMella/Fox News Digital)
I guess I'm proud of Canada's Justice system, its Judges and Justices, and I knew some extremely well, including the one for whom I articled (i.e. apprenticed) and personal friends, where there is no adherence to political bias, as compared to the situation in the USA.
I'm not familiar with the Canadian Justice system. I am proud of what the US used to be before the late 60s.
It's understandable that you're not familiar with the Canadian justice system, but I am, and you can take my word on my opinion of it. As for the America I used to know and love, that was in the past as well.
Stop the fucking whining. I remember Ken Paxton bragging he single handedly filed over a hundred lawsuits against the Biden Admin himself. Hypocrites...
The subject is nationwide injunctions by District Judges.
No, the subject is MAGA whining when a judge finds against Trump. Whether the ruling is correct or not.
District judges have no such authority. The sooner the SCOTUS puts a stop to it the better.
If that was the case we wouldn't be having this discussion. I think Robert's was clear when he told litigants to use the established appeals processes.
That is the problem. They have authority over a district. We all need to know where the limit is.
I think Robert's was clear when he told litigants to use the established appeals processes.
He was very clear. And the process goes all the way up to his COURT. He may not want it, but the moment of truth has arrived.
We already do. The right cheered when a district court stopped Biden student loan forgiveness.
And when you get that 6 to 2 ruling from the court you don't want?
Abuse of the TROs will have to end. Yet again, Democrats take a tool, break all norms using it and require adults to step in and set new rules.
Border Czar Tom Homan warns Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs that if she keeps blocking mass deportations of illegal aliens, she will face arrest!
Make sure it's legal AND DO IT!
Are you advocating Civil War?
I'm sure that arresting a Governor violating the law does not equate to a Civil War.
Sure... things will just stop there. Perhaps Hobbs and Abbot can be cellmates?
Abbot followed immigration law. Joe Biden didn't.
Biden followed the Constitution, Abbott isn't.
Brandon never followed the Constitution.
Failure to enforce US borders and immigration laws isn't following the Constitution.
Neither is ignoring multiple Supreme and lower court rulings on his EO's for Renter Moratoriums and College Debt Forgiveness.
Weaponization of the IRS, FBI, CIA, and DOJ against his political opponents sure as hell isn't in the Constitution.
Nor is threatening to use the US military against his political rivals twice.
Democrats/leftists are always guilty of what they accuse Republicans/Conservatives of.
Says only MSNBC and CNN
Abbot's AG obtained favorable rulings in 75% of his lawsuits against the Biden admin.
That's where I stopped reading.
“Make sure it's legal AND DO IT!”
So on one hand you parrot the narrative that federal courts are stepping outside their jurisdiction and on the other, you applaud the federal government in threatening a state official for administrative malfeasance in her jurisdiction.
The hypocrisy is astounding.
States don't ever supersede federal law. You know about the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution?
State and city officials have no legal requirement to assist ICE either.
You go get her “Bull Connor’s”
BTW before 1960 the US had a number of kangaroo courts, but you wouldn’t know about fhat.
Exactly. If they were moving even faster, one might call the situation in the US right now a "Judgesurrection." Chew on that for a few minutes.
The way I see it they may win on one of those cases.
A group of Columbia University grads tore up their diplomas on campus over the weekend to protest the school and the feds’ detention of former student and anti-Israel demonstration leader Mahmoud Khalil.
Columbia U. grads tear up diplomas to protest school, Mahmoud Khalil arrest: ‘I’m not a proud alumni at all’
Did they really tear them up?
Probably gender studies diplomas and they finally realized they are not worth anything.
Those are easy to rip up.
and they finally realized they are not worth anything.
For those who were taught to change the world, George Soros is hiring.
Who the fuck cares if they did? They still have to pay their student loans.
They are really going to work for a living?
Are you afraid they may have some power over you?
You mean like having Chuck Schumer getting them appointed as District Judges?
It would serve MAGA right if he did, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for this kind of nonsense to happen.
Not only do they have to pay their student loans, but the diplomas are still valid. It's not like tearing up a copy of a diploma all of a sudden invalidates it. All they have to do is request another copy to be made so they can display it, though I wouldn't be surprised if many conservatives are completely clueless about that fact since they've never put much effort into pursuing higher education. They say it's because they don't trust it, but I suspect the reality is closer to the fact that they're just too fucking lazy and comfortable in their ignorance.
Personally, I'd much rather have a physician with a torn-up diploma doing my surgery than a rightwing religious conservative that ridicules higher education and never worked hard to get educated and receive a college degree.
Judging by the poverty level in red states? You know those trump supporters aint working.
LMAO
No, they are going to move to West “By God” Virginia and inbreed.
A completely toothless display that means nothing. They tore up a piece of paper, not their actual degrees. Additionally, Columbia University has a very simple process to get a replacement diploma which can all be done online.
Request a Replacement Diploma | University Registrar
All of this was merely a performance for the masses.
And was said elsewhere, they still have to pay their student loans.
They really are that dumb!
I hope their names are out there somewhere for potential employers to notice
I think Musk should assign "Big Balls" to the task of finding out if they really did.
“Big Balls”, hey MTG you can come out of the closet now
SOROS 1, musk 0 and musk put in ten x the money musk did.
Actually, it is more like Soros approximately 800 and musk 0.
It really was something new for Musk.
