    1. judges are liberal and therefore not qualified..damn near every single one of em..liberal law schools..
    2. judges cannot determine what laws mean
    3. doesn't matter what they say

    did I get the order right or are you supposed to mix it up when you repeat the talking points?

    like all 66 judges who ruled against the false claims of corruption in the 2020 election..all corrupt, every single one of em. 0 - 66..smdh @ people that still believe anything he says

    Looks like the SCOTUS reversed this one, even if it is temporary it shows the SCOTUS's thoughts on the issue.

    Donald Trump Suffers Double Legal Blow In Hours

    President Donald Trump suffered two legal setbacks on Tuesday when one federal judge in Rhode Island halted some of his cuts at federal agencies, and another in Manhattan blocked him from canceling unspent aid intended to help schools move on from COVID.

    U.S. District Judge John McConnell, Jr. in Rhode Island said Trump can't unilaterally end the funding and programs for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Minority Business Development Agency, and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

    judge rules that the admin lied about why prisoner had to be transferred. what happens when you lie to the court?

    'Wow!’ Expert stunned as judge exposes Trump admin's bid to skirt detainee's rights - Raw Story

    The case in question concerns Badar Khan Suri, an Indian-born researcher at Georgetown University who was working legally in the United States before being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March and transported from Virginia to a facility in Texas ahead of a planned deportation — a move that some obvservers decried as a "government abduction."

    On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles of Virginia tore into this move in a blistering opinion, writing that the transportation to Texas, which the administration had claimed was about bed space, was a blatant attempt to prevent Suri from exercising his legal rights.

    "Drawing all inferences in favor of Petitioner, the Court infers that Petitioner's transfer to Texas was not about bedspace," wrote Giles. "The second issue — Petitioner's NTA — also suggests that Respondents' design was to forum shop and spirit Petitioner away from this District before his counsel could file a petition."
    .......................................
    "WOW. Judge Giles concludes that ICE’s decision to transfer Badar Khan Suri out of Virginia to Texas was intended 'to make it difficult for Petitioner's counsel to file the [habeas] petition and to transfer him to the Government's chosen forum,'" he wrote. "Judge Giles says that ICE’s claim that it sent Mr. Khan Suri to Texas because there wasn’t enough bed space in Virginia is not believable. [She] emphasizes that ICE issued a Notice to Appear listing an address as a Texas detention center BEFORE he even got to the field office!"

    the very core of the powers he is attempting to exercise is fictional

    we are not under invasion

    there is no national emergency

    'Prodded onto the shakiest of limbs:' States sue Trump over 'fake' energy emergency he declared in 'unsupported and unlawful' executive order, suit says

    A coalition of 15 states is suing the Trump administration for declaring a national “energy emergency” earlier this year “despite the absence of any emergency,” according to their federal complaint.

    Led by attorneys general in Washington state and California, the coalition challenges the president’s “fake” energy emergency that he declared on Jan. 20 under the National Emergencies Act, according to a Friday press release. They accuse the Trump administration of declaring the emergency in an unlawful attempt to “bypass critical ecological, historical, and cultural resource review” processes and proper permitting procedures for hundreds of fossil fuel projects that are being proposed “in and around the nation” — and “presumably many more in the future,” per the complaint.

    The states say that to date, the use of emergency procedures were limited to “projects necessary during or in the aftermath of natural or human-made disasters,” like hurricanes, flooding and the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which the coalition cites.

    “But now, prodded onto the shakiest of limbs by the President’s unsupported and unlawful Executive Order, multiple federal agencies now seek to broadly employ these emergency procedures in non-emergency situations,” the complaint says.

    Mass layoffs of Trump and Musk halted immediately

    The initiative, part of a broader effort by Trump and Musk through the Department of Efficiency Governmental Efforts (DOGE), sought to eliminate wasteful spending, cut jobs, and drastically reform the federal government. However, the plan faced a significant legal hurdle when U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco issued an order blocking the executive plan to lay off thousands of federal workers.

    Judge Illston's order affects departments such as Veterans Affairs, the Social Security Administration, State, Treasury, and Transportation, just days before the layoffs were scheduled to commence. According to Politico, the judge suspended all new layoff notices and halted the execution of existing ones until May 23. This impacts notices issued by the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management, temporarily stopping the planned dismissals.

    Yes, it looks like he won't lose, or hasn't lost, every single court case. Of course, some of those are decided by judges that he appointed himself.

    It's interesting to step back and take a look at these cases though. He's using a law from the late 18th century to be used in wartime, with regard to a group that, absent any official evidence or review, he simply personally decided to say was a "terrorist organization." Then he decides who's in that group without, well ........ a trial.

    The only thing more preposterous than this laughable abuse of the law is that any rational American adults would tolerate it. But then, we do know by now that Trump supporters have no problem with him committing crimes and breaking the law.



    A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump has the authority to invoke a wartime law to deport members of a Venezuelan gang he designated a terrorist group....

    U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee in Pennsylvania, concluded that the president can remove individuals affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations under the AEA.

    So you are saying that since the judge was a Trump appintee that the decision was political. Then if an Obama or Biden apponted judge rule against Trump is that political as well? You can't have it both ways, but you will no doubt try.

    Nice try. I wasn't really saying that this ruling is invalid, merely implying that the very few supportive rulings he gets are frequently from people he appointed.

    But if you do want to find comments from someone - and a public figure no less!!- who has regularly and consistently degraded our judicial system by making disparaging comments and even telling outright lies ........ why just look for the person you voted to be the President of the United States of America.

    Hey, I've always liked this one!! It's about a judge who is an American citizen, but Trump, in a racist attack, says won't do his job because of his family heritage. Thoroughly baseless.

    - TAPPER: I don’t care if you criticize him, that’s fine. You can criticize every decision. What I’m saying, if you invoke his race as a reason why he can’t do his job.....

    - TRUMP: I think that’s why he’s doing it. I think that’s why he’s doing it.



    But I do want to thoroughly congratulate you on your insistence that we all do our part to honor and respect the integrity of members of the judiciary branch. Well, that members on a chat forum do. The President of the United States is apparently free to tell all the (frequently racist) lies that he wants to.

    He edits his own thread titles all of the time. No issue with that. It is often to match up with his last post in the thread, not the OP.

    It starts with battles against the court, using something popular with his supporters, like immigration control. This method has proven successful in Turkey, Mexico and El Salvador. Once the courts are defeated, Trump can do whatever he wants as a dictator without the normal checks and balances. Will the Founding Fathers be defeated? Will Trump turn the U.S. into one of the sh!tholes that he once ridiculed?

    Trump’s Legal Strategy Has a Name

    So is it your contention that he edited it and that it wasn't edited by a moderator/administrator?
