Can We Trust Courts to Stop Trump's Lawlessness?

[Vrenn]

‘Just following the mass of litigation against the second Trump Administration can be a full-time job.

One leading tracker currently identifies 244 distinct cases filed against the administration. Many of these cases have been through multiple stages: temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, summary judgment motions, enforcement and contempt proceedings, and appeals (and requests for stays) at each stage — in a number of instances going all the way to the Supreme Court. And Trump’s been back in office for a mere four months!

Even the past weeks have been dizzying. On May 16, the Supreme Court issued its latest ruling in A.A.R.P. v. Trump. (The letters “A.A.R.P.” here are the initials of the person who filed the lawsuit, not the well-known advocacy organization for older Americans.) The Court seemed to take a strong stand against Trump’s mass deportations. It issued an injunction preventing the deportation of immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act without due process, and it held that “notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster.”

Yet on May 19 — the very next business day — the Court issued an order that had the effect of removing “Temporary Protected Status” from over 300,000 Venezuelan immigrants, thus clearing an obstacle to their deportation. As one leading immigration lawyer noted, “This is the largest single action stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status in modern U.S. history. That the Supreme Court authorized it in a two-paragraph order with no reasoning is truly shocking.” Only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson noted her dissent.’

Can We Trust Courts to Stop Trump’s Lawlessness?

The harms that Trump is causing — to our people, our polity, our politics, and so much more — go well beyond any possible violations of law.

“Can We Trust Courts to Stop Trump's Lawlessness?”

Not the Supreme Court, clearly.

The lower courts have demonstrated a willingness to do so – but trusting the courts really isn’t the issue or concern.

Of concern is Trump’s criminality and lawlessness when it comes to ignoring the courts, refusing to obey orders and injunctions, relentlessly violating the law and Constitution with impunity.

No, the Courts can't. What they are doing right now is jamming the courts up and keeping them exhausted where they make mistakes or ruling to end it that they normally wouldn't have done.

With the mix of MAGAts in Congress, they will never get the 2/3rds votes in the Senate to remove him. In fact, chances are, the House won't come up with the votes to actually impeach him. He's got more reasons to be impeached than any 5 Mob Bosses that were convicted.

It boils down that it's going to be up to the voters in the midterms to send many of the MAGAts packing. This scares the living hell out of the sitting MAGAts but I don't seen any change where tRump won't get away with screaming threats at them for them to go against the best interests of their constituents.

The day I see the little shit actually try and defend his crap I'll be amazed

He has been called out into the 1-on-1 Bull Ring before, and pussed out.

When a Dem gets into power and abuses the office the GOP will be helpless.

 

[Moonglow]

Where in the hell did you ever get the idea that a district Judge can usurp the authority of the President of the United States?

The same way the Republicans used it against Biden.

Oh, you fill me full of fear, that you do. Nope, I fear doing nothing to run you MAGAts off and out of Washington. I want the GOP to be healthy again so we can hold our heads up high instead of holding our noses in shame.

When has the GOP ever been able to do that, Eisenhower?

Yeah, right, next fantasy.

No it’s real, hence why you are a 21 percent approval

You got it, Pard. What would happen if all the crap were to be sent to the recycling plants that the MAGAts are throwing about and we went back to the days of Eisenhower. Here is the 1956 Republican Plank.

Hundreds of thousands of jobs were created along with the great building of Roads, Bridges and Electric Grids. Yes, the grid we have today is primarily from the late 50s and we all wonder why it's falling on it's face. We were GREAT back then instead of pathetic like we are today. Here is a reminder.

I’m more concerned about what we need to do to get the courts out of the way of the POTUS doing what needs to be done to fix this country. Especially since those in the judiciary have created so many of these problems to begin with.

From that I take if you were in favor of FDR packing the supreme court, because they were blocking his mandate from the people who elected him to do what they elected him for?

Let's have another world war where we are the only ones left with a manufacturing base untouched by the industrial wars.

They aren't usurping the authority of the President.
They are keeping the President within the bounds of the Constitution.

And what war did you fight in? I have 3 on my books. And I don't mean fighting over who gets the Sugar Smacks first.

I was in the Cold War during Reagan.

Did Rachel Maddow tell you that?

 

[Anathema]

While I disagree with FDR on almost everything, I don’t blame him for doing it. You need to do what’s necessary to get things accomplished.

I’m just concerned about what that’s gonna take this time around.

 

[meaner gene]

Did Rachel Maddow tell you that?

Actually the Supreme Court, when they upheld the lower court judges decisions.
