Kurt Schlichter: We are totally going to crush the Dem's Puny Lawfare Offensive

[martybegan]

So here's a take on why all these cases are going to crash and burn, and Trump is doing the right thing by not just ignoring them.

We Are Totally Going to Crush the Democrats' Puny Lawfare Offensive

Everybody needs to calm down and take a deep breath – the DOGE revolution is not in danger because a bunch of obscure district court judges in blue jurisdictions have signed ridiculous temporary orders purporting to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to actually be president. Don’t listen to the black pill battalion. We’re not losing this fight. We’re going to win it. Listen to the vice president – JD Vance has gotten a lot of heat because he pointed out that this is a legal farce. As usual, he’s right. And, to the extent there is a constitutional crisis – which there isn’t – it was brought on by uppity jurists hoping to distract the administration from its mission by embroiling it in a separation of powers fight. Except that’s not going to happen. The President and JD Vance are not going to fall for it. What they will do is use the judiciary to police its own misbehaving members, and when it’s all done, these legal fights will solidify the administration’s ability to act decisively in the future.

They were hoping for Trump to just ignore them, but he isn't falling for it, at least so far.

He points out a few of the issues with these orders, all big ones.

One of them:

I was an active lawyer for 30 years, including in the federal courts. I’ve never gotten an emergency temporary restraining order. I don’t know anyone who’s gotten an emergency temporary restraining order. The rules for getting emergency temporary restraining orders are so onerous, and the judges so reluctant to grant them, that it’s an exception to the exceptions-level kind of thing. But it’s easy when you’re a Democrat suing Donald Trump! For litigants who are not suing Donald Trump, there is a whole list of things you have to show just to get a regular restraining order, much less one issued at 1 AM on a Saturday morning when the opposing party hasn’t even had the opportunity to respond. Among those showings is “irreparable harm.” In one order, the anti-Trump plaintiffs claimed that the “irreparable harm” was that they weren’t going to be able to read a government website about some DEI nonsense and, therefore, their patients were going to die. That’s simply crazy. Yet, the judge nodded and signed.

His view is wait until the SC steps in, because he believes Roberts et al don't want to set a precedent of some district court being able to shut out the appointed officials from doing what the elected President wants done.

Trump is smart to let the judiciary fix its own mistakes. Keep in mind that part of the reason the Democrats sought these orders is to provoke Trump to act precipitously and to disobey the courts, thereby creating the constitutional crisis they claim exists but really doesn’t. Instead, Donald Trump should read the orders narrowly and work around them where he can. His people should appeal all of them and let the system do its job. Eventually, these silly decrees will all get tossed out and there will be established precedent banning such antics in the future. SCOTUS has no desire to referee a couple of hundred stupid district court orders on micro-topics, like requiring the DOGE people to put new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out.

Beating them at their own game will have lasting impacts on how Trump can proceed with his agenda.

Here's what's going to stop the DOGE revolution.

When people don't get their checks and services promptly.

Then the South African Vampire will be offered up as the scapegoat, and X will be vilifying Trump again.

The only reason that will happen is through malicious compliance by some drones.

They are stopping contracts with NGO's and foundations and all the other shells made to filter government money.

They are doing a lot more than that.

Usually, you should know what you are doing before you start mucking with things.

But Musk is a guy who turned Twitter into a nearly worthless company with no revenues.

X is as strong as ever, and a big reason the left can't fake its messages anymore.

Happened all the time in the Biden administration, but now it’s some appalling aberration.

Nothing during Biden has approached the level of bullshit being pushed by leftists and complacent Judges.

How many preliminary injunctions were issued by district courts on Biden's EO's?

That wasn't a preliminary injunction, it was a ruling. They also of course don't reference the actual case.

In a 155-page ruling

Try again.

Preliminary injunction. Not a ruling.

 

[martybegan]

Preliminary injunction. Not a ruling.

Your article said ruling.

155 pages isn't an emergency injunction.

Also, I thought this was something your side wasn't happening, so why would it be an issue?

Preliminary injunction. Not a ruling.

Judges who are no more qualified than block captains and even some community organizers. Little talent. Like Sunday morning kitchen clacks with people drinking coffee and eating doughnuts/pastries solving the world's problems. Rising nations would not even sense a tidbit of this. We have not been a rising nation for over 50 years. The racism queens have lived off of this since then. And show no changing no matter how many trillions of dollars spent.

It’s a wild ruling and was appropriately demolished when it came to the Supreme Court. The preliminary injunction was total bullshit and makes no sense. The plaintiffs couldn’t show irreparable harm by being kicked off social media, and they couldn’t even show that the government had anything to do with them being kicked off social media.

Yet one district court judge was able to dictate the manner in which the government could communicate with a company, as if that’s anywhere within their authority.

Total bullshit.
