Trump, Departmentalism, and the Judiciary
One particularly powerful obstacle that has quickly materialized against the Trump Administration is the federal judiciary. Lawsuits challenging Trump’s flurry of executive orders have been filed, and federal judges have begun placing temporary injunctions on the president’s EOs.

Trump's legal team should go into every hearing with the judge and claim that the spending for all of these crazy programs and other expenditures is unconstitutional, whether approved by congress or not, and then ask the judge if he is ordering them to commit unconstitutional acts. Then, politely inform the judge that he has no power to make such a ruling and that they will not comply with such unconstitutional orders. This would cover a lot of bases for most of the spending. After all that, Trump should proceed with impeachment proceedings of said judge(s) for making unconstitutional rulings.
ReplyDeleteFor most of it (I don't know how much) there's precedent to claim that it's constitutional. Abuse of the commerce clause, twisting "necessary and proper" to mean whatever the fuck the statists want, etc.
DeleteIt'll need to go to the supreme court, maybe we can get some strictly constructionist rulings instead of the "living document" bullshit that claims it could mean anything at all (in which case why bother having a constitution in the first place?)

The Supreme Court.....ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!
DeleteHow fast they forget Obama's "I've got a pen and a phone and I"m not waiting for legislation" and Biden's multiple attempts to forgive student loan debt after several rulings by SCOTUS telling him he couldn't.
DeleteToo many of these old crones in black robes are the ones who need to face justice. Their rulings are not based on the Constitution, but on their own biases.
ReplyDeleteTrump is playing 4D chess and the opposition is playing checkers. The idea is to get these in front of the Supreme Court as quickly as possible and slap these obstructionists down once and for all.
ReplyDeleteAnd if he loses then say "screw it and screw you, your honor". Unless the judge has the Mafia or the Cartels on his/her side then who is going to enforce their ruling? If Trump accomplishes nothing else then let's hope he re-establishes a lasting Balance of Power among the 3 branches of government. As it stands, both Congress and the Judiciary are beyond corrupt, so a strong Executive can either restore things or take us down an unchartered path.
