Based on some posts by trump supporters I've seen it appears a civics class refresher is in order.

A Decision to Limit Presidential Power


Separation of powers among three branches of government is a central principle in the U.S. Constitution. According to Articles 1, 2, and 3, the Congress makes laws, the President as chief executive enforces them, and the federal judges interpret them in specific cases. The separation of powers is neither rigid nor comprehensive, because the Constitution includes a system of checks and balances that provides each branch of government with ways to limit the powers of the others. Further, the Constitution requires each branch to cooperate with the others to carry out certain duties. The system of separated powers with checks and balances prevents one branch from accumulating so much power that it can dominate the others and rule tyrannically.

Perhaps the best way for trump devotees to think about this issue is to ask yourself whether you thought Obama or Biden had the right to disregard judicial rulings they didn't like.

C'mon guys, this is basic stuff.

Explain to me why SecTres is now barred from looking at outgoing funds, while FEMA can sent out funds in violation of a presidential EO?
 
Which Supreme Court ruling has Trump violated? The Supreme Court has yet to do anything in regards to Trump's second term. You are simply being disingenuous or utterly ignorant.
This one would get another nine-zip....
I'll never forget the look on the faces of the Democrat politicians the first time the court through a nine-zip at them over the ballot issue.

Jackson, Sotomayor and kagan may all hate Trump but they also are fiercely protective of the court's parameters. I would look for another nine-zip decision on this one.
 
Biden's efforts with respect to the SC ruling and student debt relief were a workaround, not a direct violation of the ruling.
Workaround = ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to do something that Berg80 likes.
But since we're on the subject, should Biden have been allowed to ignore a judicial ruling altogether? Cuz that is what you folks seem to be suggesting trump can do.
What remedy does the constitution call for if a president ignores a judicial ruling altogether?
 
berg's "Mr. Obvious" TDS thread of the day.
Presidential power has limits but he didn't show any in the OP.
Article 2 says the president runs the Executive branch, not the Judiciary and not Congress.

Yeah none of them are going to be able to do anything to stop him from looking at the records.
If anything a SCOTUS case may require some form of confirmation.... Or may politely ask for it.. but I even doubt if that would be the case.

Is it any wonder that they want to stop the records from being exposed? Look at the massive public opinion damage already done to the Democrats over just a few big items that have been released already? I have a suspicion it's just the tip of the iceberg! DOGE may indeed find 2 trillion in waste and fraud. P

This isn't about Separation of Powers, Berg...it's about protecting the unelected Bureaucrat Class that refuses to take orders from an elected President. The American voters overwhelmingly sent a message that they want change. They're tired of the woke bullshit. Tired of DEI nonsense. Tired of over burdensome regulations. Tired of Government waste and corruption. But instead of allowing Trump to do what the American people ELECTED him to do...the Left is doing everything it can to stall that change! They're actually PROTECTING Governmental waste and corruption...claiming that simply auditing Government is a threat to America!

Yeah this has the potential to be a completely catastrophic election season for them at the midterms especially given all the sympathies that are coming from the other side. A lot of their own constituencies are on board with auditing the government. I'm guessing this could cost them 15 to 20 seats in the House and five or six in the Senate. Trump is fully aware of this and will be taking full advantage of it. I hear one of his chief advisors is his own son Barron who is on record as having a 170 IQ by the way.

If some obscure hyper-partisan federal judge in Florida ruled that Biden had no right to pause funding for programs in which there was strong evidence of fraud, waste and abuse, of course he should have ignored that judge.

Probably missing a paycheck.... In fact I wonder about a lot of the posters who post here as hacks.
It would make sense that that's where their money is coming from.

You know they had to shop around hundreds of the federal judges to find two with one foot in the grave retired part-time federal judges with nothing much to lose. Even at that the stays are very tentatively worded.... Just buying a little time for something maybe hoping to scrub some records.
 
You are all about the limits of the executive

But there must be limits on the judges also
There are. They haven't exceeded them as the trump admin has.
 
Let us know when you’ve taken one.
It’s no surprise that an expanding group of federal district judges, appointed by presidents of both parties, are systematically blocking President Trump’s and Elon Musk’s power grabs. This is, after all, how the system works.

Yet Trump’s advisors are outraged. “If a district court judge wants control over the entire executive branch…he should run for president,” Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller tweeted Tuesday.

For those of us who lived through the reigns of Judges Matthew Kacsmaryk and Reed O’Connor (so, like, we who were alive six months ago), this is a surprising turn of events.

The Kacsmaryks and O’Connors thwarted the Biden administration constantly, and on much hackier grounds than the bipartisan swath of judges are acting on now. The resulting epidemic of right-wing litigants challenging federal government actions in the random corners of Texas under the control of these friendly judges grew to such proportions that both congressional Democrats and the administrative bodies of the courts halfheartedly gestured in the direction of doing something to fix it.


Check your area. You might be able to attend a remedial course.
