Why are MAGA Republicans trying to neuter the judiciary?

[Mack The Finger]

What is a MAGA REPUB anyway ? How do you tell them from regular REPUBs ?

 

[mudwhistle]

Red herring fallacy; failed attempt to deflect.

The thread is about the fact that the fascist Trump regime has contempt for the rule of law and is willing, with the support of Republicans, to violate court orders in pursuit of its lawless agenda.

The problem is Democrats are so corrupt that they think they can pull the wool over 33% of the public and never have to explain themselves.
They don't want anyone discovering all of their scams.....and so they bribed a few judges to issue ridiculous court orders in a lame attempt to stop Trump from exposing them. It's all a delay tactic. But when all of their slushfunds dry up they'll be up shit-creek.

The Constitution worked well for 250 years. We will actually see if Trump ignores Court orders.

So you believe the three branches of government are co-equal’s?

 

[tahuyaman]

Only the SCOTUS is co-equal, the lower courts are inferior or not co-equal.

That’s actually inaccurate. The Supreme Court is not infallible. The judicial branch has the least power.

Too bad, the Constitution is clear who controls the executive branch and it isn't unelected activst judges.

Marbury v Madison says you’re full of shit

Marbury v Madison says you’re full of shit

Marbury v Madison does no such thing. Try harder.

You're wrong about the student loans. Biden did not violate the Supreme Court Order he forgave student loans that were not part of the lawsuit. Look it up rather than making inane comparisons.

Trump, if he flagrantly violates the judiciary, spits in the face of the Constitution and its separation of powers. It will no longer be three co-equal branches of government, it will be an executive branch without limitations.

When judges overstep their authority they must be challenged

These are activist partisan judges

 

[j-mac]

I believe Trump isn't staying in his executive lane.

Oh YOU believe? Well, why didn't you say so..?

Just trying to help. The female judges are dykes whose perversion leads to all kinds of kinkiness; the male judges can't satisfy a woman except through sex toys, especially if they represent instruments of absolute power.

Marbury v Madison is about as settled law as you can find

Like 200 years worth of respected precedent… until Trump

Don't Believe What You're Told by Discredited Authorities

Jefferson was outraged at SCROTUS's coup of the Constitution and threatened to impeach the "Just Us"es one by one. That made them back down and state that Judicial Review was a non-binding opinion.

All comment that aren't directly related to a case are called obiter dictum and express only a desire that the decision might be changed in the future. In fact, the snarky SCROTUS refused jurisdiction over the Marbury appointment just to fool people into thinking they were megalomaniacs.

It Takes One to Overthrow All the Rest We Suffer Under

‘After yet another federal judge stopped the Musk/Trump onslaught by temporarily blocking Musk and his team from accessing Americans’ records from Treasury Department computers, MAGA Republicans attacked judges. “Outrageous,” Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) posted, spreading the lie that the judge barred the Secretary of the Treasury from accessing the information, although in fact he temporarily barred Treasury Secretary Bessent from granting access to others. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) said the decision had “the feel of…a judicial” coup. Right-wing legal scholar Adrian Vermeule called it “[j]udicial interference with legitimate acts of state.”

Vice President J.D. Vance, who would take over the office of the presidency if the 78-year-old Trump can no longer perform the duties of the office, posted: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”

As legal scholar Steve Vladeck noted: “Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that whether acts of state are ‘legitimate’ can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them. Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.” Of Vance’s statement, Aaron Rupar of Public Notice added: “this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders.”’

On Friday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order “protecting Second Amendment rights.” The order calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi to examine all gun regulations in the U.S.

A long, tedious cut and paste from someone's blog.

You did find a blog with all the expected slogans; :criminal", "authoritarian", etc.

Only the SCOTUS is co-equal to the executive branch.

Wrong; Congress is too.
