some of these judges need a good smackdown and a reminder that they're NOT legislators. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

the 'judge' needs to go fuck himself - he doesn't make policy, he is supposed to adhere to the law the EO that created DACA was designed to sunset Trump let it do what Obama wanted it to do, so perhaps the 'judge' should go have a chat with his boy-toy Braaaaawk and find out why he was so stupid [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

Well, this judge seems to want to completely relitigate the 5th Circuit's decision to enjoin DACA back in 2015. Barry couldn't help him with that then, and can't help him with that now. | |||

That wasn’t DACA was it? It was DAPA, which was enjoined, the Supremes backed the injunction 4-4 and it is proceeding to trial according to this wikipedia listing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...Parents_of_Americans Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

So courts rule on the law (legislation) and there is no DACA legislation because it was done by executive fiat. How then can a court rule on something that was never legislated? Also, riddle me this... say Trump tells the judge to kindly suck a soft turd from the southern end of a northbound mule, what can the courts do? Law enforcement is part of the executive branch, so who “enforces” the courts order if we get the Presidential version of nullification? Law enforcement is not absolutely bound to comply with judges or court orders, hell my agency tacitly ignores them on many occasions. At times they are unenforceable, we don’t have the resources, or other “legitimate” reasons but at the end of the day what the judge to do don’t get done. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??? ![]() | |||

Executive orders are simply outside the scope of the judiciaries authority. Suck orders should simply be ignored. Congress, if needed, should pass a law specifically limiting their jurisdiction. | |||

The law is already there. It’s called Article III of the Constitution. The problem is, the very first Chief Justice, John Marshall, pulled off an incredibly sneaky but none too subtle power grab in 1803 when he wrote the decision in Marbury v. Madison, manipulating text and doing some pretty impressive rhetorical gymnastics to establish what we now call “judicial review”, which appears nowhere in Article III. It’s all gone downhill since. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Courts have jurisdiction over EOs. Look at the travel ban. The President does not have power to do whatever pops into his head. Power is either found in the Constitution, or in an act of Congress authorizing the President or an executive branch officer (Cabinet) to act. Courts can certainly review EOs for source of authority. This litigation is over whether or not it can proceed while the validity of the order is challenged. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

I think that's the way it used to work (as per the Constitution). Unfortunately, today's judiciary has appointed themselves an even greater power and role than the legislative and executive branches. The original concepts of law and order have all but flown out the window at this point as the judiciary has taken over where the legislative and executive branches have failed to act 'appropriately'.

God makes his own rules, if he feels like he needs any. If a judge can try to hang a politician (or an EO, or a law, or a regulation, or anything else) out to dry, the judge has to claim that he (or she, or it, or whatever happens to be squatting on the bench) has to claim there are rules and that the rules have been violated. If there are rules for politicians, then there are rules for judges. If there are rules for judges, then judges' decisions can be constrained or reversed. Thus, for example, we need to get Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court rather than simply assuming there's nothing that can be done. There's no one who can be gotten into Heaven to oversee (or second guess) God. Heaven only knows where engineers go after they die.
Maybe I misread him, but he seems to think that it all springs from the same source - to weaken the case against one is to weaken the case against the other. But you're right, I should've tied (or at least tried to tie) the two together in the post. | |||

Here again, it is better to light a candle rather than merely curse the darkness. The Texas Attorney General filed a motion for a preliminary injunction which sets forth the claims and arguments. https://www.texasattorneygener...epress/Mt_for_PI.pdf 62 pages worth.

OK, I am clearly not understanding this at all let me get this straight Obama wanted a piece of legislation and it was rejected by Congress so he wrote an EO called DACA the EO called DACA has a sunset provision it was hoped that Congress would take up DACA and make it law before it sunset Trump was elected Trump decided that he didn't want to extend the EO so he let it expire and now some judge is telling Trump he needs to reactivate an EO that he didn't write and has expired even though Congress doesn't want to deal with it did I get this right?

As Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson put it, “We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final.” The judge who made this latest ruling is a district court judge. The decision will undoubtedly be appealed, and if the appellate panel concludes the district court did everything correctly, didn't abuse discretion, followed appropriate precedence as required, the ruling will be upeld. Otherwise, reversal! Sometimes lower court decisions decisions are so flagrantly bad they earn summary reversal by a unanimous Supreme Court.
