Trump's Dangerous Disregard for the Courts

[j-mac]

No, that’s a made up MAGA narrative to cover up their drive to fascism.

I’m sure you’d say the same if Conservative judges were doing this to libs right?

Activist courts should not only be disregarded but dismantled.

‘In Marbury v. Madison (1803), Chief Justice John Marshall declared that “it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is”—and, he might have added, for the other branches of government to accept the court’s judgment as authoritative, even when they disagree with it.
[…]
The core problem with Mr. Trump’s understanding of the Constitution goes even deeper. During his first term, he told an audience at an event: “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.” Article II gives a president broad powers, but Mr. Trump’s comment amounts to saying that a president’s decisions take precedence over those of the Article III branch (the judiciary) and the Article I branch (Congress). Much of what Mr. Trump has done in the early months of his second term rests on this proposition, which runs counter to the theory and letter of the Constitution. Congress and the judiciary are coordinate, not subordinate, branches of our government.

Mr. Trump’s approach represents the danger against which James Madison warned in Federalist No. 47: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands . . . may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” When executive orders supersede legislation and judges are threatened with impeachment for doing their jobs, this could be the eventual result.’

Trump is indeed the very definition of tyranny – arrogant, authoritarian, anti-democratic, with contempt for the rule of law and Constitution.

312-226.....America hating judges lose.

We The American People are FOOLS for allowing these Marxists instigators into our free speech forums etc.
They would NEVER allow reciprocity.

Their only goal is to destroy our nation from the inside.

Very convenient, Celia , when it is used for manipulating the ways in which you might arrange the composition of the judiciary .

Very convenient as a way to overlook the obviously corrupt practises .

Away with your Fake Moralising

You're wasting your time with that one.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Trump is attempting to reform the government.
He is trying to stop the greedy corrupt Democrats from stealing trillions of the Taxpayers money.
The Radical Left Judges are trying to protect the Democrat Thieves.

Conservative judges blocked democratic administrations and we never seriously considered ignoring them.

I know .
But if you don't try to educate them, you get accused of cruelty to "children" .
Because that's what they are in the real world .

And I enjoy playing with the likes of Celia ..
Reminds me of the old days when I had real future prospects to knock into shape.

Marshall's "judicial dept" consisted of the Supreme Court not unelected district court justices.

I can understand that but you are trying to teach her how to run when she still doesn't know how to walk.

Yes .
I can be too kind and caring .
That's me to a fault-- a complete push-over .

Did you have a straight face when you typed that?

I can foresee you making some ill informed comment about student loan forgiveness.

Am I right?

So you compare the early 1960's to now with judges. Conservative judges have kept the nation from moving left. Progs moved left at will.

Or , are you not flesh and blood but a Troll Bot like Bugger and Mucky for example and pretending to be a Cult Christian .
One of the Devil's children that my Mum always warned me about .

We are in a Constitutional crisis when we have democrat activist judges trying to resist the opposing party's policies and not following the laws themselves.

The constitutional crisis involves Trump trashing it in favor of an imperial presidency. Is this 27 BCE Rome?

The judges are corrupt.
