When you understand how Washington DC Judges view their role and responsibility, then you understand the scale of opposition that President Trump is facing. The false media framework of our “government” only makes the issues worse. So, here’s an explanation of Boasberg v Trump.
In 2016 the DOJ-NSD headed by Mary McCord filed a FISA application seeking a Title-1 search (full and unlimited) surveillance warrant against the leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump. The method to gain the surveillance authority was to use CIA informant Carter Page who had met with the Trump campaign and call Page an “agent of a foreign power.”
The FISA Court knowingly and with specific intent approved the Title-1 surveillance warrant which was filed using false evidence (Clinesmith) and sketchy supporting documents (Steele Dossier), no Woods File was attached.
At the time of the application, Mary McCord was acting head of the DOJ National Security Division. McCord was responsible for filing the warrant application. The DOJ-NSD had no inspector general oversight. The targeting of candidate Donald Trump was entirely for political purposes and intents.
After President Trump won the 2016 election, he gave DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz authority to conduct oversight over the DOJ-NSD. IG Horowitz started investigating the FISA application. This is where things get interesting.
The FISA Court (FISC) was exposed by their willful blindness in allowing the Title-1 targeting of Donald Trump.
Justice John Roberts is in charge of the FISC.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts then appointed Judge James Boasberg to the position of presiding judge over the FISA Court (FISC).
Judge Boasberg then selected Mary McCord to be an amicus or advisor to the court as Horowitz was investigating the fraudulent FISA application.
Boasberg put the person who was in charge of submitting the false FISA application in a position to filter the results of the Horowitz investigation of that same FISA application.
In essence, think of this as protecting the Judicial Branch. Justice Roberts appointed Boasberg to defend the FISC from scrutiny. Boasberg then moves Mary McCord into position to defend the FISC from scrutiny (McCord also protects herself).
At the time, Mary McCord’s husband Sheldon Snook was working within Justice Robert’s office.
That’s how John Roberts, James Boasberg and Mary McCord all connect. All the motives and intents go back to that original Title-1 FISA application.
Remember, this was a huge scandal all by itself. The FISA Court permitted a full-throated surveillance warrant against the leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump. The Judicial Branch was intentionally influencing the 2016 election. These are not stupid people; they were not duped, conned or fooled, they knew exactly what they were doing.
After appointing Mary McCord to take up a defensive position for herself and the FISA Court (cover), Judge Boasberg then becomes the presiding judge in the case against the FBI agent who falsified the FISA application, Kevin Clinesmith. Boasberg gives Clinesmith a slap on the wrist and a few months’ probation (more cover).
This is the same Judge Boasberg gave J6 FBI agent provocateur Ray Epps a sentence of probation. This is the same judge who, on his vacation, went to sit in the DC courtroom to observe defendant President Trump who was forced to appear in DC court. This is the same Boasberg who established a horrible precedent by forcing Vice-President Mike Pence to testify before a DC grand jury about his conversations with President Trump (breaking executive privilege).
♦ Now we go back to the John Durham investigation, because Bill Barr had to ask Presiding Judge Boasberg for guidance and direction as the Durham team looked at the FISA application (Title-1 surveillance warrant) against the backdrop of the Obama government targeting Donald Trump.
This is June of 2020, Bill Barr (who was running another cover-up angle) asked Judge Boasberg for guidance on five very specific issues centering around the Carter Page FISA application. Barr asked for legal guidance to assist John Durham in disclosing information in the FISA file & evidence attached to the FISA file.
The five issues all circle around the FBI/DOJ use of the Carter Page FISA application; and, more importantly, the underlying evidence that is attached to the FISA application. [source]
I. DOJ requests guidance for distribution of material due to FOIA demands. FISC gives legal opinion
II. DOJ requests guidance for distribution of material due to ongoing and anticipated civil litigation. The FISC gives legal opinion and expands to criminal litigation.
III. DOJ requests guidance for distribution of material to internal investigative units from the FBI inspectors division (INSD). FISC gives opinion and advice.
IV. DOJ requests guidance for distribution of non-minimized information, and/or, minimized information as part of the ongoing Office of Inspector General oversight. FISC gives opinion and guidance.
V. DOJ requests guidance for distribution of material to John Durham probe, both for criminal prosecution and possible evidence gathering attached to other ongoing investigative needs. FISC gives opinion and guidance.
Now, keep in mind, with hindsight we know the DOJ (Bill Barr) was essentially walking a fine line between uncovering information and trying to protect the DOJ as an institution. John Durham was never approved to investigate the government side of the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense.
At the same time, Judge Boasberg is trying to protect the FISC from their culpability and also protect the FISA Court as an institution. Everyone has an agenda here, and none of them are good.
That leads to Boasberg outlining a cautious approach toward distribution and/or sunlight on what took place. On this issue the court says allowing a target to escape prosecution is part of the penalty upon the DOJ for wrongful assembly; a nice way to cover the issue.
Judge Boasberg does not consider the DOJ is targeting the “assemblers” for their criminal conduct. Rather his response is general toward criminals who were targets of a FISA application assembled with corrupt intent. It seemed a little weird at the time, now notsomuch.
Pages #11 and #12 hit the topic of FOIA production. Boasberg says “some” FOIA requests might warrant document distribution, but not all. However, on the topic of Carter Page getting his FOIA fulfilled, the court supports expansive distribution to Mr. Page alone.
I find the arguments and issues in/around page #14 to be especially noteworthy. In this segment Judge Boasberg is responding to the underlying raw evidence that would normally be used to assemble a “woods file”. The court notes the FBI Sentinel system would contain the minimized outcomes (redacted evidence) and this points to a bigger issue.
In response to this inquiry Judge Boasberg notes FBI investigators would have access to the minimized information within the Sentinel system; however, insofar as there was additional inquiry into the raw and non-minimized intelligence, a review and distribution would be permissible so long as there was a strong filter team in place to ensure statutes surrounding FISA securities (minimization requirements) were not violated.
Overall, Judge Boasberg gives permission and approval for all six aspects Bill Barr requested. However, he does so with several legal qualifiers and distinctions which the DOJ was told to observe. Those qualifiers were intended to protect the interests of both Main Justice and the FISA Court from sunlight upon their prior conduct in 2016.
SUMMARY – Judge Boasberg has been demonstrably political in all his determinations going all the way back to his position on the FISC when the FISA application was approved. Boasberg was then moved into position to protect the FISC from the outcome of their Title-1 search warrant approval.
Boasberg then used his position as Presiding FISC judge to protect the apparatus, while using his position as DC Circuit Court Judge to diminish, obfuscate and cloud the severe ramifications from all of the DC effort, including his rulings on the Kevin Clinesmith (FBI Agent) and Ray Epps (FBI Source) cases.
Judge Boasberg sits at the epicenter of a thoroughly corrupt and compromised DC court system.
I like this approach recommended by Hokkada:
…”It’s important to remind people that the inferior courts do not work for or report to the Supreme Court. CONGRESS creates the inferior courts and as such, Congress can eliminate courts, add courts, and control funding of the courts. Congress also can impeach. And a key element of impeachment is the hearings process.
A hearings process that subpoenas Federal district court judges to testify before Congress would cast a lot of sunlight on the corrupt Judicial-Lawfare-Complex. Could the end result be impeachment? Certainly.
But it could also lead to something better in the long run: descope of the Federal court system which has grown bloated, corrupt, and arrogant because it answers to nobody.
They’re the 3rd branch of government for a reason – they are not elected by anyone, and therefore hold the least amount of power when it comes to governance. SCOTUS doesn’t even control their own budget. They can’t levy taxes. They can’t declare war. They can’t decide what constitutes citizenship.
The answer to all of this is sunlight. Simply compel Biasberg to testify in open public hearings about his role in Lawfare and his interpretation of the Federal district court’s ability to direct the actions of the Commander in Chief, issue “nationwide injunctions” and so forth. Then let’s get into his direct role in Lawfare.
Roberts wants to pretend impeachment of Biasberg is about a “political disagreement”. But it is not. This is a judicial coup d’etat we are witnessing. And the only way to stop it is to descope the judiciary and limit its ability to issue injunctions.
If crimes are discovered, such as aiding and abetting terrorist organizations, the judges should be removed. Judges can “obstruct justice” too. They are not Jesus in black robes. They are every bit as tempted by corruption – perhaps more so because they are deemed infallible by the Chief Justice – as any politician.”…
All of that and more. His daughter, Katherine, works for a far-left organization that advocates for illegal invaders, including violent criminals. There should be no ‘mass incarcerations’ and none should be deported? Wonder if her pronouns include ‘cat’? What is it with these judges and their commie daughters?
More than the daughter apparently. Viewing the responses on Lura Loomer’s X thread, his wife and sister are also activists with ties to NGO’s.
Money.
These Obama Judges aren’t working for $175,000 a year! They get their real money via relatives through laundered $$$ in NGO’S funded by the US government.
That’s the racket.
DC Circuit is the judicial firewall for the swamp.
FBI is the protection racket.
Ever wonder how much insider trading type info the FIB can gather with a 702?
Thieves of the public purse, living it up in luxury no doubt, while the citizens struggle more and more every year. They all live in the highest earning zip codes I’m sure. They are just thugs and thieves dressed in nice respectable garb.
Perhaps it’s time for Americans to listen to the audio and view the video of what violent people do to other people, including children?
Any person who can hear and/or see torture and wanton murder of another yet continue advocating for evil is likely psychopathy manifest themselves.
Then make shame and shunning great again.
It’s no wonder they have such compassion for criminals and plunderers of the public’s money, they are the same as them, exactly the same. Plundering and abusing the law-abiding citizens and taking their money by force. I hope this exposure leads to their plunder and abuse ending and the citizens getting restitution. Lord knows we deserve to be made whole again after they have robbed us for so many years.
Judges are not the honorable people that we were taught to respect. Just like the prior president.
Many of the professions that were once respected no longer are. Judges, lawyers, doctors, scientist, preachers, teachers, coaches, scout leaders, NGOs, Main Stream News, FBI and cops. You can find more honor, decency and respectability in a group of plumbers, electricians, machinist, roofers, masons and bus drivers.
Boom.
Not even the military leadership since Obuttface, this 20-year veteran is very sad to say.
Indeed! I am so disgusted at being lectured by my internist, physical therapist, and others about how awful Trump is!
Because they know socialized medicine would give them a job for life, with bonuses and holidays off the charts, and no chance of ever suing them!
They only tried that with me once.
Did they fire you, or did you leave, or do y’all say nothing during an appointment? Curious hostage in a Commie state.
Scientists cowered in fear (still do), afraid of losing grants for their research.
And because it has become common knowledge that they give the results that the issuer of the grant expects, they have lost their prestigious standing.
That’s how it goes when you have a real president.
You got that right.
I would suspect that one could always find more honor, decency, and respectability in blue collar workers than judges, lawyers, ect. You come across to me as surprised at this.
Ugh! I BRIEFLY dated a Superior Court Judge (Los Angeles), and what a wackadoodle he was! I’ve never met a more narcissistic, bloviating LIAR in my life. He asked me to move in with him within a week of meeting me, meanwhile, his ex was stalking him, breaking all of the windows in his house. He was completely impotent…turns out, he couldn’t perform unless he was being denigrated by the woman (Mommy issues). When I dumped him, within two days he was back with the ex, and shortly thereafter married her (his second marriage). Within a few years, he was divorced and had married another stupid woman. That this “judge” makes determinations that affect people’s very lives, is frightening. He is retired from the bench and now is a master litigator for a mediation firm. Go figure…
Respectfully toward your position, this is hilarious beyond words. Also incredibly tragic.
Even worse, I’m not one bit surprised at any of it.
It was quite the experience. What an eye opener!
OMG – you never know.
I guess I’ve been lucky.
Like lawyers, they are just good at using words and performance to massage whatever ruling they want. It’s truly all a facade. The decisions are made before the cases are ever even heard – just have to have the performance aspect for us peons.
My grandfather used to have a saying,
“He’s as crooked as an honest judge”. Unfortunately, I now know what he meant.
With those principles in mind, the Ludecke Court concluded that the Enemy Alien Act vests in the president the sole power to decide whether enemy aliens should be deported:
In sum, no federal court, from a district court to the Supreme Court, can interfere with the president’s decisions about deporting enemy aliens.
For Judge Boasberg to interfere with the president’s decision to deport Tren de Aragua and MS13 members is outrageous and creates a true constitutional crisis. Boasberg does not belong on the bench, and the House should seriously consider Congressman Brandon Gill’s Articles of Impeachment against him.
As I have said before, this dickhead POS is trying to overthrow and control POTUS, this is tyranny and treason and not only does he need to be impeached, but also executed for attempting to overthrow America. And while we are at it, since auto joe’s pardons are useless, let’s do milley and fauci at the same time. A threesome hanging…..hunter, he can just rot in prison as well as the other bidens. As for auto joe, padded cell for life. Add the Clintons and obamas and we can make it the “magnificent 7” swinging….
It takes 60 votes to convict in the Senate after impeachment.
The House, and the House alone, establishes inferior courts, and may abolish and defund them, with a simple majority (217).
The house just needs to start abolishing the seats of the renegade judges and cutting their pay.
Yeah. But good luck getting it even mentioned on the House floor.
Usually need 67 votes in the Senate to convict. It’s two-thirds of the members present.
https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/impeachment.htm
I still want impeachment in the House. Why? Because the whole country gets to hear the dung that Boasberg has shat upon us. And the whole country gets to hear his connections!
You mad..😡?? Hahaha!! Me too. Praise GOD!!! Fight! Fight! Fight!
You are correct. Ludecke 335 U.S. 160 (1948) states “ As Congress explicitly recognized in the recent Administrative Procedure Act, some statutes “preclude judicial review.” Act of June 11, 1946, § 10, 60 Stat. 237, 243. Barring questions of interpretation and constitutionality, *164 the Alien Enemy Act of 1798 is such a statute. Its terms, purpose, and construction leave no doubt. The language employed by the Fifth Congress could hardly be made clearer, or be rendered doubtful, by the incomplete and not always dependable accounts we have of debates in the early years of Congress.[6] That such was the scope of the Act is established by controlling contemporaneous construction. “The act concerning alien enemies, which confers on the president very great discretionary powers respecting their persons,” Marshall, C.J., in Brown v. United States, 8 Cranch 110, 126, “appears to me to be as unlimited as the legislature could make it.” Washington, J., in Lockington v. Smith, 15 Fed. Cas. No. 8448 at p. 760. The very nature of the President’s power to order the removal of all enemy aliens rejects the notion that courts may pass judgment upon the exercise of his discretion.”
“If that f*****g bastard wins, we’ll all be swinging from nooses !” — Felonia Von Pantsuit.
It’s no wonder CJ Roberts is coming out on the side of Boasberg.
They’re joined at the hip with the FISA scandal…which is ultimately Robert’s responsibility and accountability.
He knows if Boasberg goes down, he’s right behind him.
Can’t happen soon enough, IMHO.
In the Constitution, the term of judicial appointments is given as periods of good behavior, which is not further defined.
President Trump could start a real ruckus if he were to declare Boasberg in bad behavior and send the Senate a nomination for his replacement.
Its not just Boasberg. Another Judge says she can override the Commander In Chief, on his decision that trans can not serve in the military.
She says he did not consult with military leadership before issueing the ban, apperently she doesn’t understand we have CIVILIAN control over the military, and POTUS is not required to consult with military leadership.
This barrage of Court orders, TRO’s, etc. is to 47, what the Mueller investigation is to 45.
They are baiting him to outrite disobey a court order, just like Mueller team was baiting PDJT to fire them, as an excuse to Impeach and convict.
It won’t work, but just like the lawfare cases against PDJT, winning the case is not the goal;
underming his support, is.
Good to hear from you, Dutchman.
When Trump was first elected he said “I knew it was bad, but I didn’t know it was this bad.” That is the under statement of all time.
Thank you, Sundance for your review of past experiences with this corrupt Judge Boasberg, and Hokkada for your summary plan.
I might also add, I would love for Stephen Miller to go head-to-head with Boasberg & Roberts.
I would like to hear views from Justice Clarence Thomas.
I would like something from AG Pam Bondi.
I would like some action from Republicans! Anybody, you there?!
I would like to see B & R investigated and prosecuted for Treason. (along with many others!)
But you know the old saying, “people in H*ll want ice water”!
Pray for President Trump, they are trying to destroy his Presidency and our Country!
I listened to a podcast with Lionel Nation a couple of nights ago and he defined treason by the legal standards. The bar is very high and not attainable as it has to be during a time of war. That’s why most who we think of as guilty of ‘treason’ are charged with ‘espionage’ as it has a much broader legal definition FIRC.
Yeah, I’m not a lawyer, but whatever they charge them with, just charge them already!!
IMHO and in my feeble brain, it sure sems like treason if they’re out to ruin our Country.
People want accountability & prosecutions for criminal behavior!
Wrong thread
The issue I have with Hokkada’s suggested coarse of action, is it is dependent on a Congress that is just as corrupt as the Court system.
Granted, Thune and Johnson have SEEMED to be 100% behind and supportive of PDJT, however given the political realities, what choice have they had?
Have either of those two, in their leadershio positions, come out with a full throated condemnation of this spate of Judicial overreach?
Have THEY scheduled hearings, or even formed new Committees to hold hearings?
Have they suggested impeaching these Judges?
No, they sit on their hands, instead of rallying to support the President of their party.
Hence, no help will be coming, from Congress I suspect..
Indeed, it is the very LACK of action from Congress that tells where the loyalty Johnson and Thune truly lies.
Read Hokkadas plan again.
We do not have 66 Senators for an impeachment conviction.
We do not have 66 senators for an impeachment conviction.
WE DO NOT HAVE 66 SENATORS FOR AN IMPEACHMENT CONVICTION.
THE CONSTITUTION SAYS THE HOUSE IMPEACHES AND THE SENATE CONVICTS ON WITH A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY VOTE!
As Hokkada says, the inferior courts are 100% created and may be dissolved by the House, without Senate Action.
The HOUSE needs to start abolishing the seats of the renegade Judges and cutting their pay off.
The number for impeachment conviction would be 67 Senators, not 66.
I don’t agree with a lot of this.
For starters, you suggest that Congress should limit or “descope” federal courts because they are “unelected” misrepresents the constitutional role of the judiciary. The courts are meant to be independent from political pressure to uphold the rule of law.
While Congress can impeach judges for misconduct, it cannot remove them simply because they make rulings that some find unfavorable. The impeachment process requires actual proof of wrongdoing, not ideological disagreements.
This would create a terrible precedent for down the road.
What about the rulings that get people killed as a result of their passage? When do these “judges” suffer the legal ramifications of their moronic decisions??
I hear what you are saying, but our legal system is built on the principle of judicial independence – judges are not punished simply for making unpopular or controversial decisions. If a ruling is legally flawed, the appropriate recourse is through appeals, legislative action, or, in cases of egregious misconduct, judicial review and potential impeachment.
Sorry – a ruling that you do not agree with is not egregious misconduct.
I agree.
Roberts and Boasberg don’t need Impeachment.
They have been overthrowing PDT since FISA.
They need arrestment.
One thousand percent agree! 👍
I mean rulings that get people dead as a result! Not simply unsavory decisions that ruffle my feathers of common sense!
You are advocating for a corrupt system to police itself. Do you hear yourself type?
I hear what you are saying but our legal system WAS built on the principle of judicial independence. It is now corrupt. The rulings are OFTEN out of the courts jurisdiction, as in this case. The “process” you want to “play out” takes too long and allows further lawlessness, and you are asking for a corrupt body (congress) to fix a corrupt judicial system. Something DIFFERENT needs to be done. This is a battle worth having.
These are not merely rulings that are unfavorable. This isn’t simply a disagreement of legal semantics.
These are rulings that overstep authority, because the judges have zero jurisdiction in these matters.
THAT is what males these judges’ behaviors judicial misconduct, and thus are impeachable offenses.
Hi to Robert’s surrogate here.
There’s a gulf between “judgement one disagrees with” and “judgment detached from law, rendered out only from political agenda and self-serving corruption.”
Any blurring of that like is born of the desire to mislead and from the same corruption.
“Line”
Nobody is arguing that corruption or politically motivated rulings should go unchecked.
But accountability requires hard evidence, not suspicion – which Sundancd laid out.
Keep mass murderers here pushing fentanyl, people WILL die, period. Pretty simple.
I agree with President Trump: Death Penalty for drug traffickers and pushers.
Perhaps if more Americans understood that our youngsters are specifically targeted by the pushers there would be greater public support for the death penalty.
Boasberg is 100% associates with known CIA assets. He was Skull&Bones at Yale. Are we supposed to believe our lying eyes? Really, Jackie?
I consider telling the President that he cannot do what is clearly allowed in the Constitution to be actual proof of wrongdoing.
Let’s pretend that Boasberg has “ideological differences” with the President. Why does he get to tell the President what to do? The President is not violating the Constitution. You are all worried about Congress bossing some judge around but you are not concerned about some judge bossing the President around.
Most of these orders are done ex parte which means that no one is there representing the side of the President. If these judges want to act like real and fair judges then they would not behave that way.
Nothing PDJT is doing is violating the Constitution. Everything these judges are doing is violating the Constitution.
Another thing is there is supposed to be a bond posted by the party demanding the restraining order, and when the case gets overturned the party who brought the order has to pay restitution to the other party. None of that is happening either.
And therefore they (corrupt judges) should be fired! Or, arrested for creating a national security threat and endangering lives of Americans and our Allies!
The unstated reality behind this article is that concealment and obstruction of justice has become a way of life in the DC courts. I didn’t see reference to ideology.
When the robed ones venture outside their specialty (actually judging a case) they forfeit their credibility.
Try asking a chef to repair your air conditioning system….
Sundance’s summary doesn’t sound like “proof” to you?
How many more citations does he need?
Sounds like you may not have read the article(s)?
Sounds like Sundance’s dossier is an open and shut case for Congress to REMOVE the judge from office. Speaker Johnson MUST get Boasberg before the Judical Committee ASAP.
This feels a lot more speculative to me with a bunch of holes.
Sundance claims Judge Boasberg was protecting FBI agent Clinesmith with a light sentence. However, Clinesmith’s case was relatively minor (falsifying a single document) and did not involve a larger conspiracy. Sentencing decisions consider factors such as first-time offenses, cooperation, and plea agreements.
Also, the inclusion of Ray Epps and Mike Pence’s testimony decisions as evidence of Boasberg’s corruption conflates separate legal matters. These cases have different legal and factual contexts, and their outcomes do not prove a grand scheme.
Welcome to the Treehouse! I am sure that you are a little bit nervous about spewing the latest talking points but, hang in there, you will get better at it. Say “Hi” to John Roberts and James Boasberg for us.
When you have spent 10s or hundreds of thousands of dollars defeating a lawsuit based on falsified evidence, you will change your mind.
How do you fail to see a larger conspiracy here? Easy. Because your covering your eyes and hiding.
“When you have spent 10s or hundreds of thousands of dollars”
WNY Political Consultant Michael Caputo needed about $250,000 for legal expenses when he was being investigated during PDJT’s 1st term.
He said the people conducting the interrogation knew every single little detail of his life.
How do you know it wasn’t part of a larger conspiracy?
Don’t we need an investigation to find the truth?
I think a FISA Court signing off on a fraudulent counterintelligence investigation(3 x) against a Presidential candidate warrants this, don’t you think?
The Boss doesn’t “claim” anything, he digs where most fear to tread and puts his findings into a format dang near everyone can understand, except you apparently.
The Clinesmith crap lead to PDJT’s second impeachment. So ,you are right, nothing serious for falsifying documents. Just trying a little coup de tat, is all, right? Everyone behind the Russia collusion hoax and the Ukraine phone call hoax should be rotting under the jail or swinging from the 14th street bridge in DC
It most certainly DID involve a larger conspiracy. The Russia, Russia Russia conspiracy. Further, how is your argument that he only falsified a single document, well, that we know of it was only one, but how does that square. Your honor, the defendent only robbed 1 bank. Your honor the defendent only told 1 lie! Was that kind of grace/mercy used on the J6 defendents?
Without the Clinesmith falsifying document the FISA is not imposed. It’s kind of a big thing. In a trial it would be like perjury. Even a little lie lands you in jail.
Relatively minor…falsifying a single document!? Please remember that relatively minor falsified document was used in a FISA warrant…in a court where an American citizen has no representation. Clinesmith should have been imprisoned for life & disbarred. Plus the others who signed off on the warrant should have been terminated & received sanctions. Evil must be rooted out of the DOJ, FBI & the entirety of US Government.
Revoke the Patriot Act. Repeal the FISA Act.
I choose Liberty over safety…always & forever. But especially when I cannot the people running the US Government.
While we are all on here saying who MUST do something….reality is, they do not have to o ANYTHING.
We are talking as if they value the same things we do. They do not.
3+ decades of increasingly unopposed corruption has seared their consciences of valuing anything we hold dear. They will not voluntarily do ANYTHING right, unless they are forced to by circumstances stronger than the corruption that currently enslaves them.
What commonality Johnson and Thune have with Trump right now, does not have the strength to overcome the deeper corruption. That is the way the ruler of this world, the prince of the power of the air, works.
Can this article be posted, if not linked, just the text, on truth social ?
Sundance has given complete permission to share.
Question … In the recently released JFK Files the name “James McCord”, one of the Water Gate Burglars and ex-CIA employee, is mentioned.
Is he related to Mary McCord??
Can’t get an answer no matter how the question is phrased on the Internet.
Both CIA connected and there is some facial resemblance when looking at photos.
That question has been asked before here and so far no one has been able to answer, as you found on the internet. Something we are all curious about!
And both have ties to Pennsylvania. James McCord retired to Pennsylvania after getting out of jail (Watergate sentence) and Mary McCord is reported to have been born in Pittsburgh. But Mary’s actual age and early life are not available.
Not sure of the answer to your question.
The lack of data is telling.
James lived in Texas as a young man and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1949.
Here’s a related article.

Here’s a video about McCord. Not sure if they went over his personal life, it’s been a long time since I watched it.
There’s another one the same guys did about McCord’s connection to Watergate.

The judicial coup continues in full force even though district judges have authority only over their jurisdiction, not the entire nation. I’ve read many comments here and one that is unanswered: if cases r in fact randomly assigned to these judges, then how are these cases only being assigned to leftist activist judges exerting judicial supremacy in the form of “judge shopping?”
Once these end up at SCOTUS, Roberts must recuse since his and Boasberg’s virulent anti-Trump bias are on full display. SCOTUS has become so bastardized it’s a disgrace to our Constitutional Republic and our courts…
After reading and commenting on so many posts about the lawfare against Trump47, I wanted to give some thoughts on the legal process, as a retired litigator, with appellate experience in both state and federal courts.
The cases in the district courts could be described as skirmishes. They are not significant battles, and they certainly are not the whole war. The lefty judges “won”, but they know they will be appealed, and likely reversed, if not by the circuit court, then by SCOTUS. They are motivated by TDS as well as their liberal legal views. Some may also be angry because any possible appointment to the appellate bench is gone for them for the next four years, and may for eight or twelve.
The appeals will be battles. If they are heard by three-judge panels, Trump can ask for re-hearings by the full active court (no senior judges sit en banc) or file a petition for cert to SCOTUS. Biden filled a lot of appellate vacancies, but there are still a lot. Trump and Grassley need to get going with judicial nominations, especially the appellate ones.
SCOTUS is where we win or lose the war, and I don’t necessarily see Roberts or Barrett tipping their hands on how they would rule on the issues. Both are saying, “Not yet,” not “No.”
I went back and read US v, Trump, the immunity opinion, Roberts wrote the majority opinion. The three weird sisters dissented. This opinion had the Dems spitting mad (not so much about presidential immunity, but about Trumps getting that immunity). [Citations were omitted]
We undertake that responsibility conscious that we must not confuse “the issue of a power’s validity with the cause it is invoked to promote,’ but must instead focus on the “enduring consequences upon the balanced power structure of our Republic.”
“The President’s power to remove—and thus supervise—those who wield executive power on his behalf,” for instance, follows from the text of Article II.
The President’s duties are of “unrivaled gravity and breadth.”
And this is the money quote:
The President “occupies a unique position in the constitutional scheme,” as “the only person who alone composes a branch of government,” The Framers “sought to encourage energetic, vigorous, decisive, and speedy execution of the laws by placing in the hands of a single, constitutionally indispensable, individual the ultimate authority that, in respect to the other branches, the Constitution divides among many.” They “deemed an energetic executive essential to ‘the protection of the community against foreign attacks,’ ‘the steady administration of the laws,’ ‘the protection of property,’ and ‘the security of liberty.’ The Federalist No. 70, p. 471 (A. Hamilton)). The purpose of a “vigorous” and “energetic” Executive, they thought, was to ensure “good government,” for a “feeble executive implies a feeble execution of the government.”
The Framers accordingly vested the President with “supervisory and policy responsibilities of utmost discretion and sensitivity.” He must make “the most sensitive and far-reaching decisions entrusted to any official under our constitutional system.”. There accordingly “exists the greatest public interest” in providing the President with “ ‘the maximum ability to deal fearlessly and impartially with’ the duties of his office.” . Appreciating the “unique risks to the effective functioning of government” that arise when the President’s energies are diverted by proceedings that might render him “unduly cautious in the discharge of his official duties,” we have recognized Presidential immunities and privileges “rooted in the constitutional tradition of the separation of powers and supported by our history.”
As much as Roberts dislikes Trump, I think Roberts, being an “institutionalist,” respects the office of the President. Roberts was writing for future presidents as well, so he was looking at how immunity would affect the institution of the presidency and the executive branch over all. Roberts is spineless, and maybe personally compromised for all we know, but he wrote this, and got five other justices to vote for it.
I would like to see SCOTUS take some emergency appeals now. The plethora (fancy lawyer talk there) of cases around the country are reason enough to move on the issues of whether there is such a thing as an “independent” agency or department in the Executive Branch, whom he can fire, if the President as Commander-in-Chief, can decide who is fit to serve in uniform, how the President can spend (or not) appropriated funds, and what, if anything the courts can say about the President’s conduct of foreign policy.
But it doesn’t appear that SCOTUS will take such emergency appeals yet, so court time will be wasted, money will be wasted, the federal workforce will continue as bloated, and a woke military will be defending us from our enemies. (Hegseth has ordered a 30-day review of military training and readiness. This may help.)
Although the Dems may have fired the first shots, but have they actually taken any territory they can keep?
Thx Mr. Litigator, for the legal roadmap…
Actually, it’s Ms. Litigator, but thank you for your kind words.
In your last sentence, you miss the entire point of the democrat law suits.
The democrats have taken territory and are winning the battle … that territory is defined as TIME.
Every; hour, day, week and month that are eaten up by either the President having to go to court to gain temporary relief or waiting for Chief Justice Roberts’ “let the full process play out” takes things 1-step closer to 2028 … NO Executive orders being executed as well as nothing being in place to move past President Trump’s Administration with a solid MAGA foundation inside the Government.
Note to date, the Republican Controlled Congress has been NEUTRAL and not lifted a finger to help … unless there is some benefit they gain for their supportive VOTES … only.
It would only take a few RINOS in the House and Senate to tie the Administration up in knots by prosecuting Impeachment 3.0 if the president ignores the courts.
In fact any “very late favorable decisions” made on these cases by the Supreme Court would aid what ever is installed in 2028, if the President does not prevail NOW.
I agree with you that delaying Trump’s policies is their goal, possibly until they think they can win the House in 2026, and really tie up his programs. They may also hope that he will defy a court order, which would give them grounds for another impeachment after 2026.
I don’t know what congressional GOP could do to lift a finger to stop the judicial branch, except to hold the judicial branch’s funding hostage. Representative Gill has filed impeachment papers against Boasberg, and if Johnson lets that go forward, maybe Roberts will signal he’ll take some emergency appeals. Other than funding or impeachment, the legislative branch has little influence over the judicial.
One of the major easy actions would be … Convert President Trump’s Executive Orders into Legislated Law, which is a major option and step in the life cycle of a Presidential Executive Order. This defangs the illegal and part of the over reach arguments used by the democrats.
Other easy to do and within the prerogative of the Legislative Branch … Bring suits vs the Judges for over reach before the Supreme Court as well as file amicus briefs in support of the President.
Easy to do but childish and possibly damaging in other ways … limits to funding.
Hard to do actions and possible:
Actual impeachments, even if the senate does not approve.
Close down or reduce the size of District Courts.
That would require getting past the filibuster in the Senate, but yes, legislation is far more permanent than an executive order, and more difficult for a court to strike down.
“But it doesn’t appear that SCOTUS will take such emergency appeals yet, so court time will be wasted, money will be wasted, the federal workforce will continue as bloated, and a woke military will be defending us from our enemies. (Hegseth has ordered a 30-day review of military training and readiness. This may help.)”
Exactly! Which is why they use the courts/judges to continue their nefarious actions. You may believe this is the “process”, but I believe this is deliberate and how they plan to thwart President Trump in his 2nd term.
Dragging out the process through the courts is a classic tactic for a party that doesn’t want a final determination. The Left are sleazy, but they’re not stupid. They know how to play the process.
Thank you!
Not sure about the Statue of Liberty but, if the french would accept lady justice, send it. She’s dead here anyway. Or almost.
What are the odds Boasberg is randomly assigned Epps, Clinesmith, this case filed in the wrong jurisdiction??
Zero to none?
Well, I’ll be hog-tied! Some rinky-dink, unelected gavel-pounder thinks he runs the whole dang country? Every morning, the U.S. wakes up to see what fresh lunacy some courthouse Napoleon cooked up overnight. That ain’t democracy—it’s high-handed tyranny in a cheap suit! But mark my words, this charade’s got a one-way ticket to the ash heap of history.
Now this article right here is what separates the Treehouse from all the rest. Thank you immensely, Sundance!

Didn’t the CR just reapproved continue the FISA court until March 2025?
Was the Fisa Court reauthorized in this latest vote?
We need to hold ALL Republicans (not just the RINOS) responsible for this fraus courts existance.
It need top be shut down ASAP, and All the courts of all the Dimm Lawfare Judges must be abolished and defunded by the House.
The Reps have a majority and the power, we need to force them to use it.
the whole of Congress abdicated their authority long ago, they’re just neutered dogs running in circles…
It was Congress’ fear of election backlash that allowed the administrative state to develop. Rush often used the example of the base closing commission to illustrate this abndonment of their duty.
Congress is supposed to set the rules that the Executive Branch departments/agencies use to implement the laws/statutes that they pass. They abrogated that responsibility to the bureaucracies long ago.
Where are Epps and Clinesmith these days?
Getting Boasberg’s pool ready for the Summer
<chuckles>
Clinesmith went back to being a lawyer. He was only suspended by the DC Bar. They returned his status to “member in good standing” in 2021 (Sharyl Attkisson has a nice blog report on that). He was working with an activist group that focuses on the homeless.
Washington D.C. must be disbanded. When it was established as a capital it was because people traveled by horse or horse and buggy. This is no longer necessary and therefore needed agencies could be spread around various locations throughout the country. This would prevent a concentration of power as exists now and might temper government employees’ thirst for power. Also by living among real tax paying citizens they may have a better sense of what real people are struggling with.
Perhaps a side question (related to how deep the deep state reach extends), but my internet searches are coming up empty: Is there any connection between the James W McCord, Jr found in the just released JFK files and Mary B McCord of Clinton/FISA cover-up infamy? None? Grand-daughter?
If I had the opportunity and means, I would Epstein this guy. A robbery ”gone wrong”I’ve tired of this slow dancing and pretending. As Stalin said, eliminate the man, eliminate the problem. Judges should stay in their lane, and decide based on law and precedent. Making things up out of thin air doesn’t even embarrass them.
Chief Justice Roger Taney: “I helped fetch escaped slaves back to their plantations.”
Chief Justice John Roberts & Judge James Boasberg: “Hey Rog, hold our beers…”
Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody turned up some sort of colorful Epstein connection on this loon.
FWIW: I watch broadcast TV (UHF/VHF).
It is so evident that when certain topics are discussed, the signal is interrupted for sometimes seconds to several minutes..
Today, Steve Bannon and Warroom on Real America’s Voice (Channel 31-7) and Mr. Eric Teetsel, Center for Renewing America are discussing the judge Boasberg issue.
You would think they were cussing with the amount of interruptions.
I have followed this later on the RAV app. And I can hear all the conversation.
So, It’s broadcast TV that is bleeping especially when names are being discussed or how to handle the subject at hand.
Just so obvious the subject/names are taboo. Do not educate “We the People”.
What is not obvious is who pulls the silencer switch that affects the signal?
Looks like a job for Musk and DOGE…
Judge Boasberg’s wife and daughter both work for NGO’S funded by the federal government!
The daughter works for a legal defense NGO helping illegal immigrant criminals avoid deportation and is funded 75% by the federal government.
His wife owns an abortion clinic in Northern Virginia.

OK. Well, Rep Gill has filed impeachment papers so let’s get on with it. We The People, either ourselves or through our elected representatives, must do something. If we don’t, our Republic AND our culture are as good as gone forever. I don’t want to live in that world, and I certainly don’t want my children and grandchildren to live in it. I also do not want to go down without a fight. Pull out all the stops and let’s get this done. Enough already.
Contact your elected member(s) in the House of Representatives and see if we can get some action AND traction on Hokkada’s astute suggestion. “When you got nothin’, you got nothin, to lose”. So many for so long have told us that even as much as we knew, as bad as we realized it was, that it is WORSE. Much worse. If you can’t see it now . . .
It will be interesting if the impeachment was actually filed or it’s actually another “plan to file”. To date the Republican Controlled Congress has been NEUTRAL (at best) with respect to any actions supporting the President in this battle.
Tough words, letters and talk during hearings mean ZERO.
The narrative is tricky in the reporting (they are all gypsies, tramps, & thieves) but Newsweek, at least, is reporting that “articles of impeachment have been filed”. Their words. Just in case this is true, I contacted my Congresswoman about it and asked for her help by supporting her colleague, Brandon Gill. 🤞🙏❤️🇺🇲

The President of the United States correctly designated Tren de Aragua (TdA), a vicious Venezuelan gang, as a foreign-terrorist organization. The President correctly put these terrorists on planes to get them the hell out of our country. Yet Obama-appointed DC District Judge James Boasberg thinks he has the power to order the President to turn around the planes in mid-air and bring these terrorists back into America. This is the most dangerous constitutional crisis imaginable. The President has a constitutional duty, as the chief executive officer and commander-in-chief, to ignore Judge Boasberg’s lawless and dangerous order. The House must impeach Judge Boasberg for abuse of power. The Senate must convict Judge Boasberg. And the Congress must defund his court.
Just wondering how many folks have taken five minutes to contact their Congress critters about this critical issue. Expressing your outrage on the Treehouse is understandable; however, we need to bring the heat to our elected representatives … especially to those up for re-election in 2026. Without this pressure too many in DC will sit quietly and watch as Boasberg et al obstruct PDJT’s mandate and lay contempt traps.
I did, but I took a different tone. I cut straight to the chase calling Boasberg rogue and naming names. I cited the trail of lies & treachery outlined by Sundance, and cited Hokkoda’s observation that the prize is not necessarily impeachment, but certainly a grand prize is the process and sunlight. I asked her, as our elected representative, to help us. 🤞🙏❤️🇺🇲
You have to hand it to Trump, and to God – they know how and when expose the evil cabal, piece-by-piece. This is seriously beautiful to watch play out.
Agreed. I personally think the greatest gift President Trump has given the American people since 2015 is exposing how thoroughly corrupt our entire system is from stem to stern. The GOP, our voting system, our court system, our law enforcement system, our media, our financial system, how deranged the democrat party is along with their cultist voters, all of it.
That’s why he’s so hate by all of these groups and so loved by the people that value their freedoms. Even if he gets nothing more done, he’s already given us more than any republican has since Reagan and likely much more than Reagan in the long run.
What I do not understand is why doesn’t Team Trump find a “MAGA friendly” judge and have a small group of whatever they want to call themselves take his EOs to that judge with the pretense that they are “suing” to stop the EO and the judge refuse to stop the EO.
Then if a corrupt judge also rules that the EO must be stopped then it gets escalated to a higher court. Otherwise, the TRO request has been denied and onward PDJT goes.
Two can play this game but our side does not seem to be doing that.
Trump is 10 steps ahead, if he’s passed off the file on Boasberg to young Brandon (he’s a force:) let me assure you that Brandon will know what to do with all the information when leading this impeachment hearing. I strongly suspect Boasberg will be exposed. I know this because I was part of the group of people who got Brandon elected to our district. First time in my life I worked a tent, knocked on doors, and attended so many events. Brandon is the real deal and for now, I would be willing to bet he can’t be compromised.
I, DJT, hereby call upon Congress, to investigate District Judge Boasburg, for his illegal and unconstitutional acts, and his collusion with Mary McCord, Kevin Clinesmith, Sheldon Snook and Chief Justice Roberts, to subvert the Fisc, and provide cover for many illicit acts by the DOJ, and for his attempted judicial coup, wrongly inserting himself into executive branch activities, thus blocking the will of the people.
James Boasburg is a walking Constitutional crisis and a perfect example that the entire DC court system is rotten and corrupt. It is long overdue that the DC court system is put under a Congressional microscope and returned to work within the scope that is mandated by Congress.
so then, whatcha gonna do about it? Main “blunt Trump” plan is to use the courts to stop him. The Salvadoran President has correctly called this a “judicial coup”. Trump has already said he won’t defy the courts, so now what? Trusting Bondi and her folks seems like trusting Barr and his folks to me. The DC courts are all there to protect the deep-state. Maybe just abolish the DC court system. Congress could do that, but they would never.
Everyone knew these people weren’t gonna let generations of power-grabs and corrupt schemes go away without a holy-war fight. They will burn this country to the ground before they let “the people” have it back. I hope Trump has some really smart people working this 24×7. They (we) can’t afford to have the first two years pissed away with litigation and appeals while the establishment GOP does Fox News appearances and nothing else. Needless to say, I’m concerned. I don’t trust the GOP any further than I could toss the Sears Tower.

Thomas Jefferson warned in a letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820:
“You seem… to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the DESPOTISM of an oligarchy.”
Jefferson added:
“Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so… and their power (is) the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control.
Jefferson wrote to Abigail Adams, Sept. 11, 1804:
“Nothing in the Constitution has given them (judges) a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them…
But 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.”
Roberts could easily fix the problem posed by judge shopping and multiple nationwide injunctions paralyzing the executive branch. As CJ he could issue guidelines for the entry of nationwide TROs. He also could assign all such applications to a limited number of designated judges. For some reason he doesn’t seem very interested in solving the chaos that’s clearly occurring.
Today is a good day to be a Believer. Today we see more clearly the love of the Father who said, “no weapon formed against us will prosper” he is faithful and true. The word we have been given, passed down through the ages will not be denied. By standing in the power of his might we make our petions based on his will. We are to know wisdom and instruction, his instructions. We are to perceive the words of understanding and develop a personal relationship with him. Then and only then will we experience his grace, his answer to our supplications. And be ye thankful.
Example, 2016 obvious perverse attack on DJT and the constitution, instigated by the adversary (yes it’s spiritual in nature as in supernatural) , animated through weak and simple minded fools who only know the lust of this world, those given over to pride and wickedness. Garbage individuals with no sense of honor hiding behind their worldly temperal power. The situation couldn’t have been more obvious. Every judge, every clerk every lawyer and agent knew exactly what was happening. No secrets within the circle of the depravity.
We have seen this manifestation of evil many times in life.
So what to do? Write your congressman? Send letters to your states attorney general? Call the police or FBI? Maybe vote for someone who may or may not have an ounce of character.
I went with the living word of God through Christ Jesus. Praying everyday with understanding and praying everyday in the Spirit. And resting in the Lord and waiting patiently for him. He is never late if we are all faithful.
Today is a good day to pray for our leaders specifically those that need courage, courage to excact Justice, courage to stand before the darkness of this world, courage which faces the devil himself. Vengeance belongs to God Almighty. Justice is the responsibility of mankind and there’s few of us that have the stomach for it.
Psalm 46
Is someone going to tell PDJT and his team about this idea from Hokkada so we can fight these corrupt Judges. If not then PDJT will for the next 4 years have his hands tied by the Judges. This has to end and end NOW. I trust PDJT must have a plan.
“Is someone going to tell PDJT and his team about this idea from Hokkada so we can fight these corrupt Judges.”
Why not write or call the President yourself? And your Representative and Senators. We are in the fight of our lives … our enemies are not passive and we can’t afford to be either. Mike Davis at Article III project action has sample letters for this and other relevant matters.

Lunatic District Judge James Boasberg ordered President Trump to turn over national security details on illegal migrant flights to Latin America by noon Wednesday.
Boasbreg is demanding national security details from President Trump on the routes and times of his flights of violent illegal aliens to El Salvador and Latin America.
And, the legacy media is once again covering for this absolute lawlessness.
There are numerous safeguards in place, yet we have allowed them to be disregarded, enabling judges to exploit and manipulate the system to their advantage.
Impeachment has proven to be an ineffective remedy, given the likelihood of its failure in a divided Senate—a reality that judges themselves are acutely aware of.
The bar has become increasingly politicized, and is no longer capable of impartially overseeing its own members. As a result, trust in its ability to maintain ethical standards is eroding.
Judicial overreach has reached alarming levels, with district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions well beyond their jurisdictional authority. Over time, judges have become so confident in their authority to rule on matters traditionally within the executive’s domain, such as agency management and national security policy, that they effectively dictate to the President how to govern. This encroachment on executive powers undermines the separation of powers fundamental to our constitutional framework.
While I commend Sundance for his insightful analysis and thorough research, it is important that we move beyond the analysis and devise a concrete action plan.
This situation amounts to a judicial insurrection—a deliberate subversion of the law in service of a political agenda. The judiciary blatantly breaks the law to achieve desired political outcomes, all while protecting the looting of the national treasury by the Democrat Party and the radical left.
That said, there is no conspiracy at play; rather, the judiciary’s interest in remaining unaccountable aligns with the left’s interest in perpetuating the theft.
@sundance great analysis and also great recommendation by Hokkada. I agree with everything both of you said. The only question and comment I have is will the RINOS and and Deep State go along to get along or will they welcome the sunlight and disinfectant.? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get this all sorted out once and for all
The recommendation to require these compromised judges to immediately testify before Congress first requires Speaker Johnson to grow a pair. Good luck with that. Same with Leader Thune.
If “conservative” justices were doing this to a Democrat President and Pelosi was the Speaker, she would have all the judges perp walked to the congressional hearing, begin scortched-earth investigations of each judge, and make criminal referrals to the DOJ for any of them who lied under oath during testimony, and that would just be the beginning of her actions.
Speaker Johnson, do you have a pair?

John Roberts is the root cause of the Boasberg nonsense. Any and all disinfecting sunlight needs to be cast on these Deep State toadies.
Unfortunately, there are way too many corrupt activists, masquerading as judges. Lacking integrity and being extremely partisan, these activist judges, serve no useful purpose..
So basically I read this as John Roberts the Chief Judge of the United States Supreme Court is allowing lower court judges to do the dirty work of hindering and or usurping the President of the United States from executing his duties as defined by the US Constitution just to cover up his own Dereliction of Duty.
The Bible Warned way back not to go to the court for any thing. Work between each other resolving differences. Then they asked for a KING and the wars started.
This article was extremely illuminating. After some thought, I have a proposition that I would like this forum to ponder and comment on.
Given: The influence of the DC District court is outsized given their ability to control government-related activities.
Given: The long-term nature of the judges tenure has created a group of unelected government ‘officers’ that are exerting supra-constitutional powers.
Therefore: In order to exert control over the supra-constitutional powers afforded the DC district court and ensure that matters of federal impact are proportional and representative equitable (and discourage judge-shopping):
Thoughts?
Notice how the District Court judges for DC waited until Congress was on recess to try running the country? Next week Sen Grassley will be back in town for them to answer to, sort of. There will be a two week Congressional recess in April for Easter, when more judicial activism can be expected. I can’t believe the judges are doing this stuff gratis, so there should be a global scavenger hunt to ensure no emoluments have tempted them and to find and seize any funds of a corruptible appearance.
No emoluments???!?
Every single one of these rogue judges is over their head in corruption, in lawfare, and have family and friends galore who directly benefit from the decisions they issue.
“We” hunt about for some shred of a fair, equitable, and lawful remedy or as proposed above maybe trying to correc the process as if that’s the cause; and they’re past done with this “republic” and “constitution” thing.
These aren’t firing offenses; nor impeachable; they’re sedition and insurrection in the real definitions of those words.
Every crooked pol, and every corrupt judge, can go to jail for tax evasion. Just like Al Capone. You just have to find the money and prove they own it.
Hopefully, but I dont have much faith in the Senate Judicial Committee or the House JC … In the meantime this abuse of power must be directly confronted. The Executive power was not vested in the Courts. Forget invoking SCOTUS – why not just declare to the American people these are Art II Executive powers assigned to a separate and equal branch of govt by the Constitution and such are not subject to interference by the judiciary at any level – including SCOTUS. Pres. Trump should do it from the Oval – have someone with a brain, Miller, say the words and have Bubbleheaded Bleach Blonde standing there nodding her head while smiling.
“There will be a two week Congressional recess in April for Easter,…………….”
Will Trump be able to take advantage of this and make a few “recess appointments” to fill his cabinet?
I doubt the Senate calls a recess, even though nobody will be there. One guy usually gets schmuck duty to stay & call the Senate to order every day. That’s what they did in Trump’s 1st term.
“Thoughts?”
Sounds like a great plan.
Rather than waiting for validation by the Treepers, why not write/call your elected representatives with these ideas?
I just did-unfortunately I’m just one voice and it’s going to take a ground swell to move the feckless entrenched electeds to do ANYTHING of importance to save our Nation.
Change the layout of the inferior courts, or simply dismantle the judge market completely. It’s a functioning resistance tool designed by the Democrats. remove it. Repeal The Patriot act and remove the impact of the FISA, it’s obvious it was used as a tool to remove the POTUS as a candidate. Remove it. Congress can also limit the jurisdiction of the DC Circuit, but that’s how they pay off the judges that help them. Lifetime appointments and swelled salaries and the ability to overreach Conservative Presidents. The data doesn’t lie. 64 national injunctions during Trumps first term. It’s a resistance tool.
This. Screw impeachments. ELIMINATE THEIR JOBS and remove jurisdiction for specific subjects such as immigration.
The legal system is bloated and corrupt. DOGE their asses Congressionally.
If they have time to engage in partisan politics, they’re not busy enough, and so eliminate positions and make it harder for them to engage in mischief.
🎯🎯!
CONgress will NOT intervene because Congress is deeply enmeshed in the swamp, and the appearance that PDJT has control of the R leaders and caucus is a deception.
idk, new sheriff in town. They sure folded fast on Zelensky when we all expected them to try and stop Trump using Zelensky to undermine him.
Ramp up the Senate and House Judiciary committees. Start hearings. Subpoena judges. That action alone will shake the tree in ways that might effect some change. Those guys love hearings. And who wouldn’t like to give the judges a taste of their own medicine by ordering them to appear, swear in, and answer questions about their legal thinking? The GOP does take some measure of glee in sticking it to the judges. And what great revenge for the Lawfare of the past decade.
And they shouldn’t just subpoena the judges. The plaintiffs in these cases need to be grilled. And Congress needs to subpoena all phone records, texts, email, personal or official, between the judges and these Lawfare attorneys as well as financial records of themselves any any family members with ties to business before the court. You know, just in case someone’s kid represents illegal alien criminals and profits by knowing their daddy is a Federal district judge ruling on illegal alien cases in ways that favor the kid’s clients…
🎯
The Judges have formed a cabal.. THIS is what they’ve done.
This is just what happened in El Salvador and Nayib Bukele removed the judges to save his country!
Just like here, the judges were profiting and benefitting from the destruction.. they would not allow the cleanup that Bukele wanted to do. He removed them and look at what they’ve accomplished.
El Salvador has greatly improved.
We need to see this all for what it really is.
It’s not just the DC courts that are issuing these patently unconstitutional rulings. Federal judges all over the country are doing so.
Yes. Although there are probably more federal courts located in blue areas, as opposed to red areas. Randomization might help, but it won’t even the playing field.
Here’s a link to a map of the 94 federal district courts:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1af6lp7/a_visualization_of_the_94_federal_district_courts/?rdt=38115
Another complication is that different districts have different numbers of judges. One District could have five judges and another district could have 30. Should the random assignment of cases be done on the basis of district or on the basis of individual judge? It could make a big difference. If we want more politically balanced judges, we would probably want a random assignment to the biggest geographical areas possible: say, states rather than court districts, or worse, by judges.
I think Charles has a great idea, but it needs to be worked out carefully. There are some real landmines, here.
As a side note, the District of Columbia Bar quietly changed the indefinite suspension of disgraced FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith’s law license to a one-year suspension, despite his significant role in helping perpetrate the Russia-collusion hoax. The swamp protects it’s own!
Slapping Clinesmith on the wrist was key to protecting the beating heart of the institutional insurrection—the officials who led this seditious conspiracy to overthrow the Presidency of the United States.
