White House says U.S. judges 'usurping' Trump's authority

The White House on Wednesday accused judges of "usurping" executive power after a series of rulings against Donald Trump's administration, including one that blocked the deportation of Venezuelan migrants and drew the president's ire.

As it should be. When the felon Don does illegal things like send innocent people to a prison in El Salvador, without due process, the courts have to step in.

Well, yeah, they think King Trump has absolute authority.

Judges are saving the country from little Duce's dictatorship..

Keep going judges, defeat MAGA regime..

No! Trump is ‘usurping’ the judges’ authority.

He’s the KING! He said so himself!

"If a President doesn't have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President,

There is something called due process, Your Majesty. Also, there are things called laws which even a president must follow.

"Not only are they usurping the will of the president and the chief executive of our country, but they are undermining the will of the American public,

How does this silly girl live with herself?

Leavitt is right, they will win in court eventually, they just need to continue to appeal and keep going.

they will win in court

And if they lose they will disregard the law.

Besides, why bother with the courts? As the silly girl behind the podium says, judges have no right to mess with the orders of our emperor god.

She is right. It's the will of the people - that being the voting public.

Biden was counting as border “arrests” the people they actually immediately released into the USA.

Cooking the books to make people think the illegals were detained and sent back when they were actually allowed entry.

Does this lower court judge's view on his jurisdiction and legal standing to hear such a case comport to the 'law'?

Certainly, judges often need to responsibly tell plaintiffs that their 'case' falls outside the court in question's parameters. Why?

Because if there's no 'guard-rails', we'll soon have judges micro-managing every single agency the Executive/Pres. oversees, from CIA, FBI, Border Patrol etc. regarding National Security and other matters, putting ongoing operations and those carry of such operations in peril.

so it had to be intentional.

Cooking the books to make people think the illegals were detained and sent back when they were actually allowed entry.

Yes, everything is a conspiracy when your brain is rotten by alt-right pundits and influencers. Except the conspiracies that are unfavorable to the right, of course, those are all lies and fake news!!!

No, it was reported as fact with data by the head of ICE.

Isn’t it interesting that one partisan activist district judge can supposedly block foreign policy of an elected President?

But even the Supreme Court requires a 5 judge majority?

Our MAGA friends are on the record for openly supporting dictatorship. All the whaddabouts and “landslide mandates” will change that. They believe a president should not be accountable to laws or courts. Simple as that.

No, the Constitution decides that.

The powers granted to the elected Executive not the appointed district judge.

No more than the left does

No, that’s just you assuming, if Dems wouldn’t have done what they did to undermine democracy, screw up the nation and then in the end lose their party they wouldn’t be in this mess, they only have themselves to blame, I don’t feel sorry for them, they had a chance to do right and they didn’t.

Exactly

Trump doesn't have authority for all the things he is trying or claiming to have authority over.

There's nobody more partisan than Trump. Nobody. He makes Mitch McConnell look like a lefty-liberal.

In the US, nobody - NOBODY - is above the law. That goes for billionaires too - at least it is supposed to. It also applies to stable-idiot Presidents living in fantasy land.

The will of the people isn't the final law in the US. There are protections in our laws against the tyranny of a majority - or a loud mouth official. Lots of things that Trump can't do, regardless of what he claims. Too bad he doesn't read and comprehend anything and he won't watch a reality TV show that would teach him the laws which constrain him and his office.

The powers granted to the elected Executive not the appointed district judge.

Exactly

Just sounds like a lot of whining to me. Deal with it if you think you are right.

As Black said, they probably won’t lose based on the fact that the executive overrides any local authority, that is the reason why this Dr. That was a kidney transplant specialist will not be coming back. He had every right to deport her given that the administration saw her as a possible and potential threat to the nation, the Constitution backs him on that.

Nope. It doesn't. The deportation was completely illegal. And she was expelled in defiance of a court order.

The will of the people isn't the final law in the US

oh? That’s an interesting viewpoint.

cause this dictatorship you screaming about would be against the “will of the people”.

The deportation was completely illegal. And she was expelled in defiance of a court order.

and where is she now?

still deported, right?

Nope. It doesn't. The deportation was completely illegal. And she was expelled in defiance of a court order.

—The will of the people isn't the final law in the US

oh? That’s an interesting viewpoint.

It’s a fact. And absurd that this point needs debating.

Trump is not above the law, even though he won the popular vote. Got it?

Calling for this earned Trump admonishment from John Roberts.
