Good grief, Trump is setting some kind of a record for number of EOs blocked by federal judges barely 100 days into his presidency. Who could have guessed that electing a bunch of morons with practically no political experience or knowledge of the Constitution would result in this shit?
I'm oddly feeling very patriotic to see judges still beliving in our country and our Constitution more than many politicans (if it doesn't suit their political adgenda) and our own president.
It's great to see my hope after the election that our judicial branch would be the ones who actually have the power to keep our heads above water and are doing their jobs and not being compromised by corruption and partisan politics.
Checks and balances!

....but it's not a Muslim "ban" I thought?

I love how he tweets like his staunch voters are going to save him on these issues. This isn't the court of opinion.

I like how he just casually insinuates that maybe the judiciary branch isn't very good.
Like he'd prefer to get rid of it.
And his base probably wouldn't care.

So, yet more shit he likely read on his Twitter feed and is just regurgitating.

He always says they have a terrible record, yet he loses every single time to them. This guy is beyond pathetic.
Official statement from White House is... just read it.

The whole "I'm President, my word (should be) law" attitude is terrifying
And once again the orange shitstain puts it on the public record that his blocked EO was a Muslim ban.
Well said.
DAMN!
This guy needs to run for President.
Glad to see that at least this part of the US government is sane.

San Francisco is a "threat that imperils our citizens" hahaha.
That's what years of "King Obama does whatever he wants and has full power over everything" does to idiots
This is such a weird dumb fight for the GOP. Like, who the fuck cares if San Francisco wants to let some illegal immigrants live there. They just made up this whole "omg, they're murdering people in the streets" based on one incident and ran with it like it was a fucking pot of gold. I don't get it.

He can't do this. You have to impeach judges which require congress.

Look at how spaced apart each tweet is.
Does it really take him 8+ minutes to type up 140 characters?
They're big on his revenge list now.
If I remember right, he directs someone else to make them?

That's makes it even worse, though. How could dictating a short sentence to someone else take such a long time?

They'll write anything to make people look bad. And morons will eat it up all the same. We need to get rid of Fox news and all the other terrible site spreading lies like this.

Fucking up taxes, leaving NAFTA which will fuck over state's economies, threatening to end judges like he can do that.

Why doesn't he work with congress to pass legislation that are similar to his EOs?
RPGCrazied
Member
Because that requires votes, which he can barely get.
Poltergust

Probably because these EOs will never get past the Senate filibuster.
What amazes me is that he most likely won't push for any of these to get to the Supreme Court knowing the results will be the same.

Eh, he can't unilaterally remove judges, but he can sign a bill--which already exists--to split the court, or abolish it altogether, while reapportioning their case-load.
It's the Legislative branch's ultimate nuclear strike on the Judiciary.
And for anyone who doubts the lengths even "moderate" Goopers would go to crush the power of an independent court, consider that Jeff Flake introduced this bill, this session. The same Senator who is fighting to stay above 50% approvals in an ever more purple state.
Neutering courts that disagree with modern Conservative radicalism wrt Constitutional interpretations, is top of the wish-list for most of the party, and has been so for decades. Don't let Conservatives and their accomplices in Media bullshit you that there is a living specimen of 'moderate conservative' somewhere out there, because their base sure doesn't elect them.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I love when Trump complains that judges aren't elected
that part is in the constitution you love so much

This talk of breaking up the 9th circuit because he doesn't like its rulings is some really terrifying shit. Really hoping there are enough checks and balances to keep the orange pudding from even getting near it.
