Lawyers representing President Trump and the office of the presidency have filed an urgent response motion to remove a court order by U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer that blocked the Treasury Secretary and “political appointees” from accessing Treasury Department systems. [SEE ADMINISTRATION FILING HERE]
The filing is in response to District Judge Engelmayer’s blatant effort to engage in judicial activism and violate the Article II separation of power. The Chief executive cannot be limited in scope or activity by the judicial branch, let alone a single circuit court judge within the regional judicial branch who is attempting to block the executive branch nationally.
“Basic democratic accountability requires that every executive agency’s work be supervised by politically accountable leadership, who ultimately answer to the president,” Justice Department attorneys wrote in the 11-page filing, calling the order “impermissible” and “anti-constitutional.”
WASHINGTON DC – […] The attorneys are asking Manhattan-based U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas to quickly end or modify the order to ensure Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his top leadership can be briefed on the payment system and perform their legally required roles. (more)
From The Twitter – “Donald Trump’s actions since his inauguration have caused public discussion of some questions in Constitutional law.
I’m not a lawyer. But I have more than a passing acquaintance with Constitutional law – I’ve been studying it ever since I was an individual amicus in the Supreme Court case that struck down the Communications Decency Act back in the 1990s.
After 30 years of studying issues around the First and Second amendment and the doctrine of judicial review, I have some thoughts.
There are several intermingled issues here.
First: when JD Vance says that the courts do not have the authority to intervene in the administration of the executive branch, he is probably correct.
The judicial review power is generally considered to extend modifying or striking down laws, not to allowing any judge to interfere in the president’s administrative authority over the executive branch.
Second, any judge that rules that the Treasury of the Secretary may not have unlimited access to Treasury department data is setting himself up for reversal. This has never been litigated because it’s a ridiculous overreach that has never been attempted before.
Third, there are serious questions about the authority of federal judges below the level of the Supreme Court (what the Constitution explicitly calls “inferior” courts) that may now be forced to a resolution.
For purposes of separation of powers, only the Supreme Court itself is considered co-equal to the executive and legislative branches. Inferior judges are not.
One question, therefore, is whether the President may assert separation of powers as a defense against rulings of an inferior judge. Certainly, invoking separation of powers against a ruling of the Supreme Court itself would trigger a constitutional crisis, but that’s not the situation we’re talking about here.
This has not been litigated, but I think the President is likely to prevail on the question.
The fourth question is about the authority of federal circuit court judges to issue injunctions with nationwide effects outside the circuit where they have formal authority.
Until very recently, federal judges were so reluctant to raise this Constitutional issue that they almost never issued such injunctions. They issued injunctions only for their own circuits and left it to the Supreme Court to resolve questions about nationwide application.
But nationwide injunctions in contentious cases have become more common recently, and it is likely that the Supreme Court will be forced to address whether inferior-court federal judges do in fact have nationwide authority.
I think it is quite unlikely that the Supreme Court will affirm this.
I am not addressing here the question of whether I think Trump and DOGE’s authority to block Treasury payments should prevail. I am predicting that it almost certainly will prevail.” ~Eric S Raymond
Surely these Deepstate maneuvers to keep the deep state afloat were expected?
We control Congress, no mechanisms in place to trigger judge impeachments? No fast-tracking legislation to protect the audits?
I believe most of these challenges will eventually be thwarted, they’ll get a couple of wins here and there, but Congress needs to do its part.
As usual, crickets.
Congress is fully compromised by all DOGE digs up.
They quietly cheer anything that might save their corrupt posteriors.
Can you imagine what ideas Peelosi and McConnell would come up with right now if they were in charge. We would be walking the plank.
unfortunately, congress will use this “opportunity” as they have always: as means to express special interest deals in exchange for doing it’s damned duty.
yes President Trump will have to cut some deals with Congress. And make some concessions.
there are some things you can not change about DC…everything is subject to some kind of a deal.
which should not be surprising. aggravating yes, but not surprising.
and this is why I refer to stage 4, transfer of power (as revolutions go), as the most tricky part. the pendulum swings, but the outcome about how much power is actually transferred is hard to predict. we can expect one thing: Congress will never give it to every single policy that President Trump and maga demands. (this helps to explain clearly, how Congress was capable of funding programs that corruptly spent billions and billions of dollars toward projects that are beyond the pale…oversight…pffffttt….Congress doesn’t do oversight. Congress is deep into money laundering. your money btw. OUR MONEY).
God Bless America
Some carefully aimed indictments could quickly curb that dynamic.
Eleven inches of persuasion will pale next to NSAi.
The Presiding Judge in each U.S. District Court assigns judges to cases. This assignment is supposed to be random and take work loads into account. It is now clear that Presiding Judges are acting improperly to game the system against the President. Every case filed against the President since the inauguration has mysteriously been assigned to an Obama or Biden judge. That is not statistically possible with random assignments. Pam Bondi needs NSA telephone call and email information to investigate this, and if there is a conspiracy—which seems highly likely—needs to have the judges involved arrested and prosecuted.
meanwhile, the administration needs to seek an immediate Writ of Mandamus from SCOTUS putting a stop to these improper nation-wide TROS.
Strongly agree! Hopefully, WH is on top of this and the Public is seeing, once again, the Deep State in action that will make some of the actions down the road seem much more palatable.
It’s actually the women who work in the district court clerk’s office that are working for Lawfare to assign the judges based on a RANDOM WHEEL selection process. These are the same women who count the votes in the Detroit Milwaukee Madison and Philadelphia elections offices.
Do you think they won’t cheat for $$$ on the side from Lawfare?
AKA whores
Exactly! Welfare moms!
:~)))
It is something to see – an elected President having to defend the rights and authority of the position of the Presidency itself, whether the chief executive of every agency in the Executive branch, and now, with rumors flying on X about top military people already planning on ways to circumvent the Commander in Chief’s orders – President Trump is having to fight both the legislative and judicial branches of the government.
Deep state going to lose, but in between now and then, it really is going to be the Big Ugly isn’t it?
The Administrative State declared war on our very Constitution; they’ve already compromised all three branches, and the Executive branch is the first one to actually fight back.
first they said he peed in a Russian bed with whores.
then they said he was putins’ puppet.
then they impeached him …twice.
then they claimed he corruptly tried to defraud the election.
then they claimed he tried to mount a coup, an insurrection, with violence and some kind of overthrow of the entire us government
then they claimed with 92 counts/charges he committed crimes, and is a criminal
they also claimed he has small hands and even smaller rally crowd sizes.
now they claim he does not have the plenary power as President to review, audit and direct the branch of the executive to comport to his policies.
what’s next? they will probably claim President Trump is an alien from another dimension, some AI abomination that got out of the wuhan lab.
when you see the pattern, you cannot unsee it.
why would these Corruptors go to such incredulous lengths and attempt to destroy him and steal his power?
ah you see, it was never about President Trump..it was always about YOU AND ME!
they are afraid of THE PEOPLE and the power we actually have. Once we understand that fear and what it means…
the whole world will change…
some have called the problem of the Corruptors as the BIG UGLY..and that is true.
but the is another side to that equation…a reality that the corruptors have tried with all their might, money and influence to destroy:
THE BIG SUNLIGHT..>THE PEOPLE.
I just wanted to be left alone…to be treated fairly. to have trust and confidence that our central government had my best interests AT HEART.
these Corruptors are none of those things.
these are specific people btw…they have names, places, locations, families, bank accounts and associations.
we will tear them to bits.
mark my words. They will rue the day, they decided to steal from us.
God Bless America
👉Excellent and exactly 💯 regitiger👍👌 👈
There is the court of law, and there is the court of public opinion.
President Trump must rouse the court of public opinion against the corruption to such a high degree that the process of rooting out corruption cannot be stopped. President Trump must address the people directly in a televised national address ASAP and reveal whatever needs to be revealed to expose the corruption, and make it impossible politically and judicially for the process to be stopped.
President Trump must use the court of public opinion to overshadow our corrupt courts of law, whose “judges” are clearly aiding and abetting the corruption.
Yes, said this from the beginning. He needs to appoint someone to do an information campaign that clarifies to the people what he is doing in all things, so they understand. Someone who will send this info to all spheres of media, blast it everywhere, every day, all the time. That’s how you get out in front of the lies. Should have been happening from day one. If you want to win, you must own the media on every level. He did a good job with his campaign that way, but not following through now. He should have a government office that does this. Must be on every social media platform and every news outlet. Every time he’s going to do an EO or change something there should be an advanced information campaign explaining it and how it works for good for the people. Otherwise he’ll be playing defense forever.
Cancel NBC’s broadcast license and take over PBS and NPR. To reach the 37% supporting the DIMS . They MUST get the information
MSM is not reporting this stuff, are they?? They MUST be the people who see the corruption and theft being leveled upon the US taxpayer. THEY MUST understand. When they do they will deal with the thieves their way ( not good)
Correct. His first term he failed to use the power of addressing the People. I hope he makes a national address soon.
Fully agree with your post… would add that para 2 of Decleration of Independence previewed this issue WELL…
We have a right and a duty if the situation degrades from here/now… and Praying that it does not degrade but echoing your warning Regitiger… forming the legitimacy and forces to carry it out if need be.
American Patriotism isn’t a vogue new found sensation.
it’s deeply embedded and respected because it speaks to the mindfulness of those who want to be free, to have liberty…and to have the government of their own choice.
We will win this…but not without great sacrifice.
challenge accepted.
this war will be televised.
God Bless America
Well said and God be with us all and you.
I agree with you James, except for one thing. I hope it does degrade. They’ve gotten away with their BS for far to long.
I have thought about this endlessly and I honestly don’t see a solution where there’s no accountability.
We won’t resort to a “degradation”, but they will, it’s obvious now. (They do it now, out in the open!)
I honestly wish no ill will on anyone but we have a right to defend ourselves, our families and our country. I really believe this is building into something way too big because no one will back down and it will have to happen, for no other reason but to protect this country. Martial Law.
We may need/require this “test” of further degradation but it is not (yet) welcomed fully because I have friends (biblical meaning) that need more prep for the testing times. <sigh> <impatiently spoken>
1000 times yes! I think it’s one if by land, and two if by sea time. They’re coming. This story is about to reach a climax.
Amen. Make it so!
Oh, some say the judiciary is not politicized. Hogwash, I would say 90% or more have a heavy political bias. This is a blatant violation of the separation of powers that needs to be corrected immediately. These rogue judges should all be brought up for impeachment and removal.
This appears to be a coup by judges! This will not end well if it is not brought to heel quickly. The supreme court must uphold the Constitution in all the judges tros immediately. Insane! The judges know well they do not have the constitutional authority to pull these obvious attempts to supersede the POTUS…
Whether Roberts wants to admit it or not – these inferior courts are stepping all over the turf of SCOTUS. The judicial activism at the Circuit Court levels and below threatens to make SCOTUS irrelevant, for why have a SCOTUS if national constitutional policy can effectively be promulgated from the CC level?
This is an effort to render both the Executive Branch and SCOTUS powerless. If Roberts wants to dawdle around while the Republic burns, it’s on him.
Otherwise, I’d expect an expedited ruling in PTrump’s favor.
‘But nationwide injunctions in contentious cases have become more common recently, and it is likely that the Supreme Court will be forced to address whether inferior-court federal judges do in fact have nationwide authority.‘
Better we get this out of the way now, before something more important comes up. Keep moving forward.
Indeed.
Prayers up that the judicial tyranny just forged their own coffin nail.
I stopped saying, “I am not a lawyer,” a long time ago. Why? Because we have once again been lied to about lawyers and their so-called ‘special abilities as a group.’ The reality is that well over 98% of legal professionals are one-trick ponies—arrogant, mediocre, and possessing no exceptional skills whatsoever. Just good at rote-memorizing things.
How do I know this? I have spent 30 years working with lawyers across multiple disciplines: corporate law, administrative law, litigation, prosecution, white-collar criminal defense, real estate, labor disputes, securities law, trust and estate, and even family law. I have dealt with dozens of state and federal judges in New York City, Connecticut, Texas, Delaware, D.C., Florida, Georgia, and California. If you have been in the game long enough, paid millions in legal fees over time, and seen the profession up close, you develop a solid batting average in assessing it.
As for federal judges—many are outright criminals. They know they are virtually unaccountable for perverting the course of justice, and they exploit their judicial immunity to the fullest. And if someone tells you that Supreme Court justices are exceptional, I would mostly agree—especially when it comes to their career planning and self-interest—effin’ exceptional!
Frankly, I do not know who is worse: them or the rogue elements within the intelligence and national security apparatus.
The rogue elements in the national security apparatus have long worked to corrupt the entire edifice.
The Judiciary had gotten more than its fair share of such attention.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
I worked with a a very bright woman that coauthored training materials for our nationwide corporation.
Several years ago she let drop that the NSA had expressed interest in her college aged daughter expressed as a job opportunity.
She was perfect:immature , bright, no self confidence, homely and eternal victim.
😬
The depths of the depravity visited upon our nation and her children have barely begun to be exposed.
“Its not me they are after, its you”.
We all have said it before ” Shut it all down and start rehiring all over.”
This is true.
I happen to have a friend that is a highly respected attorney, supposedly an expert at something.
I’m often shocked at how dumb she is..
Another thing that many don’t know if you don’t know one well, they are quite brainwashed.
These people, as a profession, they’ve been every bit as brainwashed as teachers are and all the other government workers.
They truly live in bubbles..
The dems have always been excellent at spreading the loot around and attorneys have gotten a lot of it. This alone causes them to “see” (judge) things the dem way.
Another way the dems have enticed attorneys as a group is to make owning real estate rental property a good investment. Many attorneys own property individually or in syndicates. Which came first? Who knows, but the dems and attorneys are highly symbiotic ( they feed off each other).
I bet many of these judges are getting $ illegally.
.
I agree. I can’t stand lawyers. They make my clients’ lives hell. 🙂
.
So if I’m this judge in NY who just decided he can tell PT what PT can and can’t do then why can’t this same judge tell the Supreme Court what they can and can’t do?
I see no difference.
There is none.
Yep. Like the Parish Priest telling the Pope what the religious doctrine of the church should be.
Correct. It renders SCOTUS irrelevant.
I’d expect the Supremes to tell the inferior courts where they belong: off of SCOTUS turf.
These activists judges have been put in place like the FBI personnel that have an insurance policy to fight Trump.
Trump is not a rookie this time and he has the people this time as well.
Stop all payments until the department head is given back his oversight power
Meanwhile, I cannot get anyone on the phone from our two local PO offices. I called a third one and the nice man on the phone said the other two combined offices across the river. Hudson River.
Saturday night, we never had any mail pick up. It started to snow, so I brought the mail in about 8:30 PM. (Our mail sticks outside our garage postal mail slot (I know…odd).
No one can answer why we had no mail pickup.
a CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE – Article I, Section 8, Clause 7
“To establish Post Offices and post Roads.” – YES
Power to Establish ” INFERIOR ” Judgeship Positions – NOT
This Lawfare is just going to be passed around from Obama judge to Obama judge.
Even though Roberts says there’s no such thing.
A state does not have standing to dictate to the Executive of the US government how his designated agent, the Secretary of the Treasury, shall execute the day to day functions of the Department. Even a first year law student would know this (presuming that Fat Letitia was in class on the day it was discussed).
I love the sound of heads exploding in the morning.
If I recall correctly correctly, shouldn’t these issues fall under the original jurisdiction of SCOTUS? Seems like a lot of time is wasted in lower courts to only end up at SCOTUS.
Yep.
Yet these inferior courts usurped that jurisdiction, because they deem SCOTUS to be a conservative court.
That’s why I don’t see Roberts messing around on this issue.
Just a field observation sitting in a village coffee shop. Looked across the room and glanced a headline in a major paper being read by another customer: “Trump’s disregard for the law irks judges.”
The mockingbird media chirps on.
The MarxMerdia is a fully integrated, and compensated, element of the Derp State and MUST be destroyed!!
The war is just beginning to ramp up.
Projection. For many decades, one of the left’s favorite devices.
but he did it, didn’t he? And why? Because we’re too afraid to push on. What was he going to do? Jail everyone including the president? I’m tired of these republican pansies.
I don’t like this at all. It seems the Deep State is slowing down PDJT #47 with these lawsuits just like they did to PDJT #45. It doesn’t matter if PDJT #47 wins his lawsuits but the DemonRats are trying to run out the clock and hoping for the elections in two years and then the end of PDJT #47 presidency in 4 years. The delay tactics unfortunately worked in #45 administration and it looks like so far it seems to be working in the #47 administration. Something needs to be done to stop these frivolous lawsuits from happening post haste.
US Constitution, Article III Section 2, Paragraph 2 states:
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors,other public Ministers and Counsuls, and those in which a State shall be a Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.
Since the suit was brought by multiple (22) State AGs, representing their States, this so called judge has NO authority to even hear this case.
Article VI, Paragraphs 2 & 3. specifically requires the Oath of Affirmation by all State or Federal Officers.
By bringing this suit, and taking up this case, the Commie Judge and State Ags should all be charged with violating their Oath of Affirmation, which is prima fascia evidence of violating the the Supreme Law of the Land; the Constitution. This certainly constitutes “bad Behaviour”. All should be disbard and removed from office per Section 1: They only are allowed in there office …during good Behaviour.
Us Attorney General, Pam Bondi, should immediately charge each one of them individually, and file directly with the Supreme Court since they have “original Jurisdiction”.
If someone could please post the full text of all of Paragraph 3 here, much appreciated. This is going to get interesting.
DOJ snuck in a truth bomb about our Treasury operations and who really has authority and access to set up payments.
Information warfare at its finest.
Sorry, meant this as a reply to my own post below.
💀🙏💀
The Lawfare tactic worked very well for them in Trump’s first term- so clearly they will go right back at it.
Team Trump is going to have make some choices here as to how they are not going to get suckered back into playing that game.
If the words on all the parchment support what he’s doing, then I say carry on and ignore the clearly corrupt activist ‘Judges’.
Joe Biden ignored the Supreme Court and kept right on cancelling the college debt.
They did whatever the hell they wanted to do.
Is the priority here to impeccably play the game OR is it go get your damn ball down the field?
Pam Bondi certainly has lot’s of work to do, let’s pray she’s as quick about it as President Trump is. God Bless OUR PATRIOTS!
she has a hair appt evidently.
TeamTrump needs to set a Oval Office address ASAP
This is nothing but a coup by a bunch of leftist judges
We can’t let them get away with this
Where the H is she? Pam Bondi !
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/02/10/new-federal-judge-makes-ruling-against-trump-admin-that-can-only-be-described-as-a-soft-coup-n2185417
A Rhode Island federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze ALL the federal spending that Trump froze.
“All those crazy grants that were being given out by USAID to organizations promoting transgenderism and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in foreign countries? A left-wing judge just told American taxpayers they have to keep paying them and that the executive branch has no discretion in how federal bureaucracies operate. It’s hard to see that as anything other than a soft coup.”
A TRO is not appealable because it’s “temporary” and only in effect until a full hearing.
But as Margot Cleveland points out, Trump can file for a write of mandamus because of the extraordinary usurpation of executive authority.
Ketanji Brown Jackson is the supervising justice for the First Circuit, which is probably why they filed it in Rhode Island.
I bet that bint knows what a dollar is.
Writ of mandamus. D#%! autocorrect.
.
Writ of prohibition?
.
These are legal speed bumps that should have been predicted by a legal OPFOR team. Wonder who in Mar-a-Lago’s closest of close circles played the various Lawfare ‘characters’. Again, this is less than a month in and probably built into the 100 day time-table, just as a construction schedule will have contingencies for delays. Far worse though is the impression of institutional impropriety that these legal challenges convey to the wider country, compelling the Democratic Party to defend the activist judges whose rulings are forcing them to swallow daily doses of political hemlock.
Broken record time: the Executive branch (PDJT) of government is auditing the Executive branch (Treasury ) of government.
The Legislative branch pitches a fit and asks the Judicial branch to stop the audits because why? What happened to separation of powers?
What happened to furthering a conspiracy?
Most of Congress could be up for removal in one fell RICO prosecution.
fema claimed no money to help NC, but just gave away 50+ million to illegal alien invaders. We are at war, when can we start shooting traitors?
the “opposition: has put together a “dossier” of sorts on the DOGE team. It’s important that we know what they know.
also noting: this is NOT the complete list of everyone working DOGE efforts. More to follow as I get more details.
https://projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-doge-tracker/
The opposition is doxxing DOGE you say?
targeting with force…yes
we must remain vigil and take care to notice these things and to protect those who may not necessarily understand the danger (grave danger, is there any other kind?)
God Bless America
Paragraph 3, Page 8.
Excuse me.
WTAF?
Isn’t this worse than the SCIF at Perkins Coie?
The Federal Reserve is a privately owned bank, not a government agency subject to the direct supervision of POTUS.
(Yes, I know the whole set up is likely unconstitutional).
yes sir, it is.
Delay, delay, delay…….The libs are playing the “run out the clock” strategy.
It must not be allowed to succeed.
That GROWN MEN with law degrees have brought this suit are sad comments on the educational institutions that certified them, the condition of our current legal system, and the political climate we ‘enjoy’ at this moment.
If Trump or his appointees cannot audit or stop fraud from the treasury due to court order, his only alternative is to close Treasury until that order is vacated. No further government checks will be cut. No electronic payments will be made. Okay, judge, the ball is now in your court.
Otherwise Trump becomes lawless if he defies the court, and is subject to impeachment again.
By the way, that would kill two birds with one stone. The other federal judge who ordered the Administration to unfreeze payments, will have to talk to the judge that effectively shut down treasury.
So I guess the question comes down to, which federal clown show judge is running the country. Because, according to about five federal judges at current count, the President does not. Chief justice Roberts, that ball is in your court.
We will soon find out if Chief Justice Roberts does, or does not, live up to his reputation as a judicial coward who will not rise to the occasion when the occasion demands it.
We have had a feckless Chief Justice for way too long. He’s really the main sad spot in this episode — a GW Bush judge — yeah, Roberts, I said it!
CJ Roberts is indeed a coward, but he’s got his back against the wall here. The Left is forcing him to act when he doesn’t want to.
The Circuit Courts have usurped the jurisdiction of SCOTUS. If Roberts allows this to stand, Deep State knows they don’t have to worry about SCOTUS ever again. The Supremes are then functionally irelevant, and dismissed from the power equation.
PTrump’s legal response is necessary – to give SCOTUS the tools needed. PTrump’s Executive response ought to be to remind these inferior courts they can pound sand while he goes about administering his Executive Branch duties.
I cannot see Justices Thomas and Alito remaining silent if Roberts goes AWOL here.
Why not get about 200 US Marshals to go in with the Sec of the Treasury and the DOGE team, and say, dare you to come get me. You court has no power over me.
A good idea from Wayne Root:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/wayne-root-president-trump-elon-musk-doge-are/
Sundance, I know it is a flood right now. . .
But look hard at Paragraph 3 of this pleading.
[The Federal Reserve]
Remember Musk just tweeted about Ron Paul auditing the Fed?
This is the gateway.
Can Bondi intervene and say that Musk and his team are investigating financial fraud in the Treasury Department? POTUS should assign a Secret Service Agent to the DOGE team to investigate any potential fraud discovered by DOGE. Then can Bondi threaten to investigate the Judge for obstruction of justice if his ruling has no merit or basis in law?
I haven’t heard a peep out of Bondi except some “warnings” … lol, she ain’t gonna do shat
Looking like you are exactly right.
I think appearing on TV cable shows is what she wants to do.
The 4 or 5 federal injunctions that have been issued against the Trump administration represent and attempted coup d’etah by the federal courts. Trump must react by shutting down all of a part of government. The government cannot run an autopilot. It cannot be run by federal judges. Otherwise, we have an oligarchy by federal judges. Trump needs to call them out and call up Chief justice roberts.
It seems we have an oligarchy that is running the Federal Judges who are running the country.
Each day we learn more and more re depth of government corruption. These people will never stop.
So, realistically, how long will it take for this ridiculous Court Order to be thrown out?
Two hours?
One day?
Years…it’s lawfare. I hope the American people can see this for what it is.
Maybe time for President Trump to get on the air. Showcase some of the waste that these judges are demanding that we continue to spend money on.
Dig into the details of a few of the most outrageous expenditures, provide verifiable facts and showcase how the US taxpayer is funding this waste/fraud. Make a mockery of the activist/corrupted judges that are making these judgements.
Expose them in a way that the common person can understand what is going on.
good idea
Remember that four Bimbo federal judges in the Washington DC District and Appeals Court ruled that President Trump had absolutely NO IMMUNITY from prosecution by Jack Smith whatsoever.
Then two Bimbo justices on the Supreme Court, ie, Soto-Mayor and Kagan ruled the exact same way. No immunity for President Trump not even for official acts!
All six Bimbo Judges were 100% WRONG and yet they all still have their jobs to continue being 100% WRONG without fear of any consequences! Why is that?
When is that going to change???
Good heavens.
Everybody take a deep breath.
We are winning.
The DS assets in the judicial branch are exposing themselves to the normie audience.
They are the next line of otherwise largely invisible defense.
Now we see them in their full stupidity.
Most of these rulings have the durability of a snowflake in Miami.
The sky is not falling.
If roles were reversed, the left would ignore any ruling against it.
The Biden Regime ignored a number of SCOTUS rulings particularly concerning educational loans.
From the BBC, partly financed by USAID:
Vance questions authority of US judges to challenge Trump
10 Feb 2025
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gx3j5k63xo
Among the other Trump actions being challenged in court cases are:
Ending birthright citizenship
Transferring detained migrants in Guantanamo Bay
Establishing Doge, an unofficial agency
Offering federal workers buyout incentives
Housing transgender inmates in facilities that match their sex at birth
Banning transgender people from serving in the military
Banning executive branch diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives
Removing the heads of independent government agencies
I think they’re buying time while they burn everthing (records), to the ground.
The internet is forever. They may burn their paper trail, but their digital trail will remain.
I do understand A.G. PAM B. just was put in charge of DOJ, …. what do you guys think she should do, how fast should she act, is she in contact with Trump Team every very hours on this issue. At this point she is so new, I want to be fair to her, how long would it take for her to get up to speed. She has access to Lawyers in the DOJ and others she can ask for their input.
Do you feel so far (after a week) she is doing the right thing or are you confused like me. I just hope she is not another Jeff Sessions or Barr.
I don’t know any answers, but have the same questions.
It is time for A.G. Bondi to get busy. Now.
I sort of hope Pam is talking to all the constitutionalists that are the most famous. We see Trump list them all the time, Mark L, Turly, etc. She should put them in room or zoom, and go around the table for advice and legal options. If she is NOT SURE, call the best legal minds in the country, and get this best advice. DO NOT TALK TO DOJ in the Dept she is in, or House/Senate lawyers that are corrupt or anti-Trump. I hear nothing from her.
Warfare on Lawfare
“This feels like a national exorcism.” — Charlie Kirk
James Howard Kunstler
Feb 10, 2025
https://www.kunstler.com/p/warfare-on-lawfare
Excerpt:
…late Friday (when most citizens are checking out of the week’s struggles) Judge Paul Engelmayer out of the Southern District of New York blocked DOGE and other executive branch officials from accessing US Treasury records of expenditures. The injunction, comically, prevents Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent from seeing what his agency doles out money for — that is, from managing anything his department does. The suit that prompted the ruling was brought by nineteen states’ Attorneys General led by NY AG Letitia James. So, you see how this works.
You must also imagine that the White House was prepared for these lawfare shenanigans, though they haven’t shown their hand in response so far. This is a constitutional quarrel, of course, since it concerns who has authority between the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary over agency spending and, in particular, who gets to audit it. The actual objective by the plaintiff in these cases (the Party of Chaos) is simply to delay any corrective action.
The DOJ under Pam Bondi can designate the US Solicitor General to petition the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) for certiorari — to expedite the resolution of this constitutional issue as to whether Mr. Trump, as chief executive, and his bona fide appointees, can carry out executive functions. The arguments against that appear to be weak.
It is the President’s duty to see that the laws are faithfully executed, meaning that the departments under him do their jobs correctly, which would give him inherent authority to audit and restructure agencies like USAID. Both judges Nichols and Engelmayer are arrogating executive and legislative functions on policy-making to themselves, triggering a separation-of-powers dispute that the SCOTUS must adjudicate promptly.
What matters most in these cases is that SCOTUS has an opportunity to put up new guardrails against the hijacking of the federal courts for the purpose of lawfare — that is, for political dirty-fighting under color-of-law. The law is slow-moving, arcane, and incomprehensible to most non-lawyer citizens and that is why the Party of Chaos has misused it so liberally.

Lawfare 2.0: A New York judge launches a coup
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/02/lawfare_2_0_a_new_york_judge_launches_a_coup.html
Excerpt:
Under the Constitution’s organization, regulatory and administrative bodies are all part of the Executive Branch. And as Art. II, Sec 1 explicitly states, “The executive Power shall be vested in a President…”
The president has plenary (i.e., absolute) power over all executive branch bodies, including the Treasury. This means neither Congress nor the judiciary may interfere. Additionally, as commander in chief, the president has plenary authority to classify or declassify documents and to authorize or remove security clearances.
Where an authority is plenary, no judge may substitute his judgment for the president’s. And yet that is precisely what Judge Engelmayer has done. This is a coup by lawfare.
If allowed to stand, Judge Engelmayer’s order will amend our Constitution by fiat. This is as great an assault on the fabric of our constitutional Republic as our nation has seen since 1776.
Trump’s response must be aggressive and resolute. To vindicate the Constitution, he must declare that the judge’s order is null and void, and he should send a message to the House asking it to impeach Judge Engelmayer.
The Supreme Court needs to sanction and have U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ‘s law license suspended. The President is the President of the UNITED STATES not Washington DC. Everybody employed in the Executive branch works for The President . PERIOD…..
As Sundance has often said, ‘there are trillions of dollars at stake!’ So interference by activist Democrat-appointed federal judges in the affairs of the President executing his Executive powers is entirely predictable…and we will see more of this as the bosses of the criminal cartel masquerading as a political party are most assuredly not going to give up their cash cows and golden geese without a fight.
But President Trump has known this for months, perhaps years, so there’s little question in my mind that his legal team had already drafted the ’emergency motion‘ to void any restraining order well before the election.
But as we all know, Trump never gives up and he has a powerful ally in Musk with very deep pockets, so the best the Dems and their media allies can hope for is a delaying action in a battle they are destined to lose!
This judge may have screwed up big time. the order to remove political appointees didn’t specify Trump employees. PDJT can now remove all holdovers from Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton etc. As long as they were appointed to a position, not only treasury but any position and then imbedded at treasury. PDJT can identify and possibly fire them.
; (ii) restrained from granting access to all political appointees, special government employees, and government employees detailed from an agency outside the Treasury Department, to any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees
I never understood how some judge in another part of the country could demand what people may or may not do. Whatever happened to states’ rights? I would love to see the Supreme Court smack down the activist judges. It has been used as a “legal” loophole. That’s how Soros got all his activists in.
And, when it goes before whoever, they will say they can’t rule on it or it will be a democrat majority of judges who will go with the judge. Even then when this one is stopped, another will pop up to take its place. Considering all the lawyers and judges are getting rich with all this levitation, why would they want to ignore it and go on.
If POLITICALLY APPOINTED officials (eg, DOGE, Scott Bessent, DJT) can not access Treasury Dept records then why not extend that injunction to the Pentagon and Intelligence Community (CIA, FBI, NSA)? If politically appointed officials can not see Treasury records, then certainly they are not qualified to see much more secret military and intelligence community records?
PS: Why not have a judge write an injunction that bars Trump from writing executive orders and put a stop to the whole thing at the root?
“Until very recently, federal judges were so reluctant to raise this Constitutional issue that they almost never issued such injunctions. They issued injunctions only for their own circuits and left it to the Supreme Court to resolve questions about nationwide application.
But nationwide injunctions in contentious cases have become more common recently, and it is likely that the Supreme Court will be forced to address whether inferior-court federal judges do in fact have nationwide authority.
I think it is quite unlikely that the Supreme Court will affirm this.
I am not addressing here the question of whether I think Trump and DOGE’s authority to block Treasury payments should prevail. I am predicting that it almost certainly will prevail.” ~Eric S Raymond
That will GUT Federal district judge lawfare:

Part of the Trump/DOGE plan all along?
The deep state is in an existential fight for its life.
Let nothing that happens in the courts, in the Congress, or on the streets be a surprise to you.
Calls for violence have been made by elected Dems. Believe them.
Each day, the innate differences between good and evil more closely approach a kinetic confrontation.
Calls for violence are the only thing the Left has in its quiver. They are setting the stage to use the inevitable reversals as “justification” to try unleash the violence of the mobs. The money for those riots could come straight out of the pockets of the Soros contingent of billionaires, as USAID has been cut out as a source.
The riots, however, would take place in reliably blue cities – LA or Chicago, for example. Rioting anywhere near common sense is found, probably wouldn’t suffer the rioters very well.

Revolution.
Revolutionary.
Revolutionary Suicide.
“Start a f*ing revolution.” – Max Azzarello
Agree. Once DOGE began even a glance into USAID and is now looking at other fed agencies, the Left became apoplectic, now in a frenzy. No wonder – the Left knows what’s buried, and that deeper searches will reveal it. They have no voters of any number to help them. All that the Left has remaining is a tantrum, violence, the teenage-level rejection of reality. Evil doesn’t like being revealed.
“The movement was actually far deeper and more dangerous than an effort to secure funds from an already depleted federal treasury.
“The American Communist Party planned a riot of such proportions that it was hoped that the United States Army, in its efforts to maintain peace, would have to fire on the marchers.
“In this way, the Communists hoped to incite revolutionary action. Red organizers infiltrated the veteran groups and took command from their unwitting leaders.”

Wow.
That article is equally compelling and damning of the judge’s order.
Thanks for sharing.
