Trump attacks the Federalist Society!

[Oddball]

I had my concerns with many of these Trump judicial appointees that were being recommended by the Federalist Society. I will say though that many of these individuals did have stellar academic credentials. Many of these appointees were not idiots. We are now seeing that some of these appointees are not automatons that MAGA and Trump was hoping for.

The only reason you're saying that now is because some of them are ruling against Trump.

If you clowns didn't have double standards....

NOT the courts.

The courts are responsible for applying the laws written by Congress and as a function of the Constitution.

The President is required, per the Constitution, to faithfully execute those laws.

Execute the law....You said it right there.

The immigration laws that Trump is currently trying to "execute" were put on the books by Bill Clinton.

I don’t think that’s what Leo had in mind when he began to build his judicial empire, but that’s what happened.

Of course he wanted people to believe that and I am glad he was succcesful, glad you guys are on board now!

I don’t agree with the judicial philosophy of the Federalist Society and their strict constructionist nonsense. That does not mean they did not vet lawyers with excellent academic credentials. That is not to say that the Federalist Society at times did not push for those with subpar credentials on occasion. I will condone a judge regardless of who appointed them if they make what I consider the right decision.

Faithfully execute the laws.

The immigration laws that Trump is currently trying to "execute" were put on the books by Bill Clinton.

CIVICS 101

Laws are passed by Congress, Presidents don't "put on the books". Laws are passed by Congress and the President can either approve or veto. But without Congress there is no mechanism to "put on the books".

[Harry Dresden]

Let me translate RINO as used by MAGA.

RINO is a “conservative” who exercises independent judgement apart from Trump and does not march in lockstep to the directives coming down from the WH.

im sure your side doesnt like it when they are ruled against what they want also...no difference....

Stuff the "CIVICS 101" condescension.

The immigration laws are already passed by congress and signed of by a president - Bill Clinton.

You're just being obtuse on purpose, aren't you?

"Strict constitutionalist nonsense" means that you don't really GAF about the document at all....It's just an inconvenience to be circumvented when you don't like it, and the be-all-end-all when it suits you.

So take you sanctimonious non-standards back to neo-Marxistville where the both of you belong.

No in the least. I just don't believe in the Unitary President Principle currently in vogue.

The laws CONSTRAIN what a President can do, he his not all powerful.

Well they were put on the books by Clinton csuse he signed them into law

And without the president there is no way to put them on the books

Once in the books the presidents job is to enforce the laws

The unitary theory doesn’t say the president doesn’t have to act within the law and is all powerful

 

[dblack]

I don't think the flock even understands it.

And they're not interested. MAGA just want the purple hairs and the brown people to go away. They're skeered!

Clinton was president in 1798?

Remember the last go round when the dems were all up in Trumps shit about the FS's list of SCOTUS picks....Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Of course he wanted people to believe that and I am glad he was succcesful, glad you guys are on board now!

What?

Are you glad because the Federalist Society came perilously close to achieving its goal of creating a unitary executive above the law, and bending jurisprudence to the desires of the oil billionaires who financed it.

Or, are you glad that appointees that they had installed actually uphold the law.

Because your fuhrer clearly isn’t. He expected rubber stamps. So did Russel Voight.

 

[martybegan]

They are.

Which is why they;re not rubber stamping Trump’s lawlessness.

When a District judge issues a nationwide TRO they are not staying in their own lane.

the SC has to quash that shit.

 

[struth]

Clinton was president in 1798?

Nope, he signed the Immigration Reform Act of 1996.

I think you are referring to the Alien Enemies Act, which is only being used for a select few illegals...not the vast majority

I am confused, are you agreeing with Trump then now? You guys are all over the place on this thread

I think I understand what you're saying, JLW, you're more of a communist manifesto sort of person.

 

[TimFitz]

He's smart to keep the Federalist Society at arm's length.....Run by RINOs for RINOs like McConnell. He found out all about that his first term.

He never did before.
