Agents of the federal government destroyed the U.S. Constitution a long time ago. Today, only a shell of that document’s substance remains, and its spirit has almost entirely vanished.

Thus, President Donald Trump and his allies, including Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X and head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, must defeat the Democrat-dominated establishment, including federal judges who have usurped power not granted to them by the Constitution, in order to restore some semblance of constitutional self-government in the United States.

In an interview with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday, legal scholar Jonathan Turley insisted that the recent phenomenon of federal judges “intruding” on the president’s constitutional authority “can’t stand.”
The fascinating interview covered three major issues in less than four minutes.
First, Kilmeade asked about a judge’s decision to freeze Trump’s buyout offer for federal employees.






“I think that Trump is on very solid ground with the buyout,” Turley replied. “I’m still a bit baffled by what the court is doing here.”
The legal expert then correctly explained that those buyout offers fall under the president’s Article II authority.

“I’m not, even today, certain what the constitutional problem is,” Turley said.

Indeed, for no such problem exists. Anyone with a 5th-grade level of constitutional knowledge understands that the president controls the executive branch.

Are federal judges overstepping their authority to target Trump?


Next, Kilmeade asked about DOGE having access to data from the U.S. Treasury Department.

Turley replied that while courts conceivably could address privacy-related issues, this particular federal judge went far beyond the court’s authority in denying Trump administration officials, including actual Treasury employees, access to said data.

“But I think the court really got ahead of its skis here,” Turley said. “It went way too far in shutting down Treasury officials from looking at this material.”

“I think that ultimately that can’t stand,” he added.

Finally, Kilmeade asked about a judge’s decision to pause Trump’s mass layoffs of employees at the sinister United States Agency for International Development, a CIA- and State Department-adjacent organization that has funded nefarious projects abroad and at home.

Turley responded with a useful metaphor involving Congress, the president, and naval defense spending.

“See, that’s another problem with how these cases are constructed,” the legal expert said. “

You know, Congress can make decisions.

They’re the ones who buy ships, but it is the president that decides who’s going to take the ship out and the crew. He could reduce the number of crew members.”

“I think that the court is really intruding significantly into the president’s authority,” he added moments later.
.

The key point, of course, involves restoring the Constitution. And that requires addressing the founding document from two crucial perspectives.

Only the House can initiate appropriations bills ... says so in the Constitution ... why the courts are interceding ... see there in Article III ...

Maybe read the Constitution before you copy/paste garbage ...

The conclusive truth of the matter is that the election of Trump and his actions within 22 days of his administration has stripped the Neo-Marxist Democrats of their power in the media, federal agencies, Congress and with the tax-payers in general.

If one is not part of the Democrat Media Echo Chamber Cult, if one is not beholding to USAID and willing to such donkey dong at any moment of the day or night - one is junk (in your world)

He says what MAGA wants to hear. He probably convinces himself that he actually believes it too.

People are good at convincing themselves of what they want to believe. It's the animating feature of MAGA.
 
It's a temporary restraining order. It's just keeping the status quo until the legal system has the time to evaluate the situation.

Hardly controversial and happened all the time in the last 4 years, but Mr. Turkey never seemed to care even when nutty Texas judges were telling the executive they were forbidden from talking to social media companies.

He hasn't changed
He is convinced by The Constitution.

I would ask if you are just an idiot, but it goes much deeper than that.

One ting about Turley is that he calls 'em as he see's 'em. Claiming forfeiture of credibility is the Democrat definition of their loss of control on the narrative.
