Trump vs. the Judiciary


The current battle between President Donald Trump and the courts is far from unprecedented; in fact, it’s just what this country needs.
Over the past week, Trump has taken a great deal of flak from all sides for reprimanding (in his own, coarse way) federal judges who have blocked his immigration order, despite the fact that presidents have taken similar actions in the past, with no constitutional injunctions whatsoever.

The current battle between President Donald Trump and the courts is far from unprecedented; in fact, it’s just what this country needs.  Over the past week, Trump has taken a great deal of flak from all sides for reprimanding (in his own, coarse way) federal judges who have blocked his immigration order, despite the fact that presidents have taken similar actions in the past, with no constitutional injunctions whatsoever.  Here’s a secret: Trump’s far from the first president to go toe-to-toe with the federal courts. In fact, President Obama’s rebuke of the Supreme Court in the 2010 State of the Union address regarding the Citizens United case was significantly more bold and telling.



This is incontrovertible proof that these judges, and far too many other judges, simply do not believe that the American people have the right to govern themselves. Of course, these power-hungry judges have long been aided and abetted by Democratic politicians who grew weary after years of losing policy fights in the political arena.  So they took their fights to the judicial branch and invented the notion that the Constitution is a “living document,” meaning it doesn’t actually mean what it says. Rather, it means whatever you can get some flunky judge from Haight-Ashbury to say what it means. This is how the courts discovered a constitutional right to abortion in a constitution that says never mentions a single medical procedure.  Liberalism has been dead for 30 years, since the far left loonies destroyed the values of free speech and unrestricted inquiry when they took over the universities and then destroyed the Democratic Party with their warped devotion to abortion and illegal immigration, just to name two.

For the fascist left, open borders and unchecked immigration are the most essential part of their Cultural Revolution:
Open Borders provides the following ingredients for the Left
1. Large numbers of non-white ethnicities that can be indoctrinated by the Left into voting blocks by promoting Naziesque pseudo-science like White Privilege to teach white-hate and by designating these new immigrants victim class status deserving preferential treatment.
2. An abundant supply of cheap heroin that together, with hopeless economic conditions and the Left’s continued cultural vilification of whites as deplorable purpetuates the epidemic suicide and overdose rates of working class white America
3. Low wages, while this hurts all working class American citizens white, black and brown alike it is used by the Left to increase racial and ethnic resentment as all groups struggle for survival. As the Globalists luxuriate in their Soho Lofts and Beverly Hills Mansions they are far removed from the realities of anger, pain and fear seething around them. They are also removed from the danger.
These policies are also necessary for the continued ascendancy of the globalists who take advantage of cheap labor and trade agreements to strip mine middle America and bejewel their kingdoms on the coast. The SJW gestapo threaten any dissident with Racist, sexist, xenophobe. And universities indoctrinate White-hate, hate of Western Culture to a new generation of young people. Stronger together meant everyone together against the common white enemy, the deplorables.



As for Trump’s disparagement of the judges, only someone ignorant of history can view that as frightening.
Thomas Jefferson not only refused to enforce the Alien & Sedition Acts of President John Adams, his party impeached Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase who had presided over one of the trials.
Jackson defied Chief Justice John Marshall’s prohibition against moving the Cherokees out of Georgia to west of the Mississippi, where, according to the Harvard resume of Sen. Warren, one of them bundled fruitfully with one of her ancestors, making her part Cherokee. When Chief Justice Roger Taney declared that President Abraham Lincoln’s suspension of the writ of habeas corpus violated the Constitution, Lincoln considered sending U.S. troops to arrest the chief justice.  FDR proposed adding six justices to emasculate a Supreme Court of the “nine old men” he reviled for having declared some New Deal schemes unconstitutional.  President Eisenhower called his Supreme Court choices Earl Warren and William Brennan two of the “worst mistakes” he made as president. History bears Ike out. And here we come to the heart of the matter.



   Here is what Thomas Jefferson wrote on this topic:
"To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."
-- Thomas Jefferson letter to William C. Jarvis, 1820.
"...the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch."
-- Thomas Jefferson





 Time to break the unaccountable supremacy of the judiciary. The Founders might have meant to create three, co-equal, balanced branches of government; but the courts have appointed so much power to themselves, and face so few checks on their power, that it has effectively become a tyranny where one branch feels free to overrule the other two.  There is, I believe, a solution. The left enamored with FDR and his legacy. That is good. FDR in a 1938 Supreme Court case faced intransigence that threatened his agenda. His approach was that he would appoint additional justices to help the existing nine make their decisions. The case was referred to as the "Switch in Time that Saved The Nine". The court reconsidered in the light of having an expanded group of justices to help them. I suggest that our president carry through on the FDR plan. We need five or six additional Supreme Court justices to help get things done.
