It’s not the first part of the 46-page ruling [SEE HERE] by Judge James Boasberg, threatening to hold President Trump and Main Justice in criminal contempt of court, that presents the biggest problem; it’s the second part where Boasberg is threatening to appoint an independent Judicial Branch prosecutor against the DOJ and Trump that makes a constitutional crisis tilt toward a near civil war between the branches.
Outlining his determination that President Trump defied a court order, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg states, “the Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt.”
As noted by Politico, within the ruling Boasberg goes on to say:
…”if the administration doesn’t rectify the issue, the judge said he may require administration officials to testify under oath so that he can identify the specific individuals responsible for violating his order. He would then request that those individuals be prosecuted.
The judge signaled he could appoint an outside lawyer to prosecute the contempt case if the Justice Department declines to do so.” (link)
I think we all know the very select group of “beach friend” people whom Boasberg would lean toward in appointing someone to prosecute Pam Bondi and DOJ officials representing President Trump.
High on the list of possible judicial branch appointments, who would be subject to review by the authority of Boasberg himself, would be his prior friendship with a previous appointee, Mary McCord. Or possibly Andrew Weissmann, Barry Berke, Norm Eisen, David Laufman or any other credentialed member of the Lawfare alliance.
The ruling somewhat reminds me of a prior situation where federal judge Andrew Hanen found the Obama DOJ also in contempt of a court order regarding the status of the “Dreamers” and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) cases. {Background Here} However, unlike Boasberg, Hanen only demanded a DOJ corrective action plan.
Lawfare operatives in robes and out of robes are willing to create a constitutional crisis, because that’s how the Lawfare operatives operate when their grip on power is threatened.
So the Banana Republic of the United States again again and again attempts to control the narrative….. Whoever controls the narrative wins, Stephen Miller will respond with FURY
Time to go to war with this f*cker
Who would that be?
The judge dumbazz!
Who is going to go to war against the judge? You? lol
Boasberg is a typical leftist DC cuck with a grandiose sense of entitlement. He is chest thumping for the cameras, narrative engineers and Democracy Defenders™️ on his soft as puppy sh!t cocktail circuit. Boasberg has zero enforcement options. He is therefore a neutered chihuahua yapping at a deep game, grand champion bulldog. Like the chihuahua, he is likely to get mauled.
Gitmo.
Yes, Eric L… Boasberg and the other demonrat fake ‘judges’ and Soros fake DA’s would freak out in Gitmo 🤣⚡⚡.
As a member of the US Coast Guard I was there several times. The weather is very hot, especially in the summertime. And the humidity is also extremely high- and because of that, when you sweat, it does not evaporate to cool your body. The sweat drips down from your body into your clothes and the ground under your body, it feels like a river coming out of your body.
What a coincidence, the name Boasberg contains the name of a snake- a Boa. That arrogant idiot is definitely a snake.
Poll after poll is showing that some 70 and 80% of Americans support what Trump is doing with the border and this cleaning out of the illegals.. with the worst of them going first.
This judge has no support from the vast majority of Americans.
He should be removed from the bench for going to war against the people that overwhelmingly elected this president.
El Salvador’s President Bukele has got to be astonished by the lunacy he’s seeing going on here with this.. it’s very embarrassing quite frankly.
Where is our limit of what we’re going to sit here and allow?
And where is the limit of what Congress is going to sit there and take, and how about the Supreme Court?
Lots of leftist press spewing weapons grade propaganda regarding El Salvador removing the leftist judges from power.
He knows of the idiocy on a personal level.
“ And where is the limit of what Congress is going to sit there and take?”
“TAKING IT” would imply that they are not in alignment with it – and disagree with it!
The people must demand the arrests of these seditious conspirators.
This will force the poltroons called the Supremes (with the notable exceptions of the Honorable Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., and perhaps others) to weigh in. We certainly can’t count on half of them, including the cowardly Amy Comey Barrett!
Because of the incredible overreach by Boasburg, I think we have a better than even chance that they will rule in favor of the Executive Branch, and President Trump.
President Bukele de fanged the judges in his country immediately after he was elected. President Bukele knew all about the treachery of rogue judges. Look up the corrupt supreme court judge in Brazil who jailed and exiled Jair Bolsinario winner of Brazil’s presidential election.
This “judge” is flirting with losing his security clearance
I really don’t think he’s worried about that!
Well, there is still Thursday and Friday….
He needs to lose his judgeship and his law license. He’s abusing his office for his personal vendetta. Lock him up… in the loony bin.
so what’s Team Trump or the GOP gonna do about it? Nothing I bet. The GOP Establishment is smiling ear to ear. This was part of the plan. This judge obviously knows he has big-boots backing him up.
And people thought you could fix all of this “by outvoting the fraud”….LOL
It’s starting to be obvious that you are right.
These judges are doing the DemocRats dirty work for them.
He doesn’t have a mechanism to enforce anything without the executive branch’s help. Unless he is personally going to go hands on to make arrests? Good luck with that…
His authority extends only to the door of his courtroom.
I am not a legal authority in any way, except his only support is his court bailiff. The bailiff’s power can only apply to the court(?).
If the DOJ repudiates his demand where would this judge have the power to enforce his “decree”.
His court is a creature created by congress and not the supreme court. As such he lacks standing with the executive power of the President. The Supreme Court already decided that in matters of the Executive the President has full authority.
The judge is attempting to usurp that power that allows the President to fulfill law enforcement.
(If the dems want these aliens to be eligible for the Constitutional protections of American citizens. Then they also want them to enjoy the privilege’s of the 2d Amendment.)
DOJ needs to send in the US Marshals to arrest Boasberg for obstruction of justice.
Trump should play their game. Go to the US Marshals unannounced, demand to see the report on the Dobbs leak, and threaten to release it. Let’s see what happens to this judge’s support system when Roberts knows he’s cornered.
It would help if Trump knew what he was up against, instead of thinking Boasberg is a “little known judge.”
Bondi needs to file charges against him and have Doge deeply investigate his and his families financial dealings and income sources – the only way there is a ‘war’ is if two sides are actively involved…otherwise it’s simply a mugging.
treason. he is adhere to our enemies.
Failure to uphold his oath of office. Unconstitutionally interfering with the Commander-in-Chief’s duties to protect American citizens. He is guilty. Everyone can see that. God Bless President Trump!
Obviously Bondi can’t see it!
How could she when she’s busy getting ready for her next Fox News appearance?
“How, in little more than half a century, did the American people fall under the rule of a judicial dictatorship where judges and justices twist phrases in the Constitution to impose their alien ideology on this once-free people?”
Our Judicial Dictatorship
https://buchanan.org/blog/judicial-dictatorship-7010
By complacency and an unwillingness to stand up…
These are all very short-term considerations: the USA is a pretty young democracy/republic and hasn’t settled many of these issues in a complex triumvirate of institutions. These frictions will exist over centuries. In my hometown, we have a large and beautiful town clock, dated 1683, and these battles still play out every month.
Let the games begin! I hope the Administration just steps back from this fool and tells Roberts to handle this or there will be issues.
Enough already.
Just defund the District Courts.
In the words of Andrew Jackson, POUND SAND! you degenerates!
This BoASSberg bastard is looking for a hanging and it will be his.
Time to arrest and charge Boalsberg with insurrection and no trial and prison forever. They’ll all scurry like the cockroaches they are
No, keep delaying the trial date for years like the effers did to the J6ers.
Proven: the more they attack Trump with vindictive and arbitrary lawfare, the more popular Trump becomes.
Have at it, lower courts.
Trigger this next “constitutional crisis”. It is what the Democrats and their government employee unions are paying you to do. Then the DOJ can appoint a “special prosecutor’ to investigate Democrat appointed judges for patterns of extreme bias and prejudice.
We need a good house-cleaning.
You really think Bondi is going to appoint a special prosecutor ? There should already be dozens of special prosecutors investigating countless crimes but we can’t even get one .
DOJ can appoint a special prosecutor to investigate partisan judges. Time to review judicial ethics and require total, 100% political neutrality 24/7 for all judges. Period, no exceptions.
SCOTUS needs to get on this stat.
I wonder if PDJT has the power to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate these judges.
These judges have no fear and why would they ? Our DOJ is incompetent and Kash and Boningo keep promoting the worst of the worst .
Kash, Bongino and Bondi know that the 2028 election is only 3+ short years away and, as we have seen in the past, Democrats have a way of winning.
We know what happens to their opponents when the Democrats win and Democrats will prosecute every Trump Official who attempts to prosecute them. Just look at the list of their victims from 2020…
President Trump
Mark Meadows
John Eastman
Kari Lake
Gen Flynn
Roger Stone
Rudy Guiliani
Mayor Adams
There’s either rule of law here or not ?
Better we know now
So let truth be declared
And the chips fall where they may
Bring it. It is over due.
arrest Boasberg for obstruction of justice,defund this judge,
Jack Smith with no beard
I don’t see the El Salvador president has to do anything. He has the culprit behind bars and is the goal for all culprits.
All the jawing in the World is just that. Mission accomplished as I see the only question is, “Next”?
Ok Trump, have Bondi start the arrests any minute now.
President Boarsberg?
Remember..The State Secrets Privilege…
Maybe they need to invoke it again?
The Justice Department said this week that it has invoked the state secrets privilege in its ongoing court battle over the deportation of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador, a national security tool that allows the government to withhold certain information from the courts for national security purposes.
In the 10-page court filing submitted to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, Attorney General Pam Bondi and other senior Trump administration officials said they chose to invoke the privilege because disclosure would pose what they described as a “reasonable danger” to national security and foreign affairs.
“The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it,” the Justice Department officials said, adding: “Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address.”
“…..the Court lacks competence to address.”
Oh Yes, twist that knife ! ! !
😉🇺🇸
Tell Boasburg to smd
The government must know Boasberg’s weaknesses
Boasberg must think he’s a “grand inquisitor”…
That said, if the Courts can set up their own prosecutors, then it stands to reason that the Executive can set up their own judges.
Let’s haul BIASberg in front of a Military Tribunal, summarily convict him, and ship him to GITMO
Good idea!
– Judge James Boasberg’s wife Elizabeth Leslie Manson (didn’t take his last name) has taken $50 million from taxpayers
– $5 million was sent overseas to the Philippines
– Taxpayers pay her NGO $15 million per year
– $1.3 million in paycheck loans
– She received $801K employer retention credit (mislabeled from PPP program) (PPP and ERC loans they were not entitled to)
When do people go to prison?
https://x.com/i/status/1906314752126759081
Trump can pardon them.
He should pardon every official involved and do it quickly!
Boasberg is president to a DC lawyers club filled with leftist scum. Chief Justice Roberts is a member. Questions?
Ha ha ha! “Boasberg”, enough said.
The House needs to subpoena Boasberg to testify. They should subpoena Boasberg’s wife and daughter as well to testify on their conflicts. It doesn’t require impeachment…..just putting these judges in the hot seat ASAP and make them account for their decisions or simply be no shows and get the Bannon/Navarro treatment. Pelosi would have the backbone to take that action if shoe was on other foot…..she did. What about Spkr Johnson and Jim Jordan? The only way to fight Court overreach to control Presidential powers is to use House powers to assert control over Judiciary. Just like Pres Jefferson did in 1803.
I’ve been saying that the best defense against these seditious conspirators in our judiciary and in public office is to attack them legally with the greatest criminal charges including treasonous conspiracy. There has clearly been a conspiracy against PDJT involving judges, prosecutors, AG’s, congressmen, media, etc. If PDJT doesn’t go on the offensive and arrest them they will destroy this nation. They went after PDJT and his supporters with much less evidence.
Dare I hope the congress critters would get busy and impeach this commie?
Go ahead. Issue the arrest warrants president boasruler…
Go ahead DO IT.
He’s gone completely rogue. He can’t hold the DOJ in contempt because the DOJ doesn’t have any power to comply with his unconstitutional order. He might as well hold ME in contempt (I certainly am.) ALL power in the executive branch is vested in the president himself. Only the president has the power to comply with the unconstitutional order. The president has a duty to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution from rogue judges. He has a duty to ignore unconstitutional orders.He needs to declare that they are unconstitutional and defy them.
Trump has put himself in this mess because he chose to appoint a useless, incompetent, corrupt pretty face who tried to send an innocent man to life in prison over appointing some one who would have done the job of putting politicians and crooked judges in jail.
She will never do her job.
Never. And if it costs Trump his presidency, he has no one to blame but himself.
So what if Trump pardons them?
He looks like an evil antagonst in a Frankenstein horror movie.
Whenever I see his mug, my blood pressure rises, and I want to see his career come to a screaching halt!
He’s got a weird bump at the top of his head. Maybe it’s listed in a medical journal.
“First surgically implanted evil chip in jurist’s head”>
I concur. Boasferatu should be studied.
.
Sagittal keel. Could mean nothing. Or could be that he’s a throwback to homo erectus.
.
Why is Congress not taking action against this judges treasonous action ?
Why is Bondi not on his case?
It’s deflection distraction and dangerous because it emboldens other jerks who think this bozo is a winner
Under what authority does he have to “appoint” a “prosecutor” – I ask as a lawyer?
None. It’s called Separation of Powers. The Judiciary adjudicates and interprets laws. The Executive enforces laws and prosecutes. Quote simply, he has NO Constitutional authority to engage in any prosecutorial action – I answer as lawyer.
Roberts put Boasberg in charge of the FISA Court to order spying on ANYONE including the President. Don’t count on Roberts to stop the judicial overreach.
Can Congress rescind the status of the District of Columbia?
It seems out of control.
Yes. The House took that action in 1803. But that requires taking action. The only place you can find Jim Jordan these days is on a milk carton.
What a jerk
The Dems’ legal bench, pun intended, is deep and committed to maximally disrupting the entirety of PDJT’s MAGA agenda.
Malevolent, leftist federal judges in friendly appellate jurisdictions will be relentless in their anti-Trump attacks throughout his term.
Wait for Newsom’s lawsuit regarding the tariffs’ impact on CA to result in an impairment of them, which will be upheld by the Dem dominated appellate court. The result will be chaos in world economic and financial markets, until the SCOTUS overrules.
Meanwhile, all the other disruptive lawfare will continue to cripple MAGA initiatives, with proceedings purposely elongated to enhance their nuisance value.
Politics has never been so openly and aggressively viscious and destructive.
Where is the mass screaming in the street as ICE indiscriminately rounds up tens of thousands.
(cue the b-rolls of it is not happening, not even close.)(The best that can be mustered is interviews of those living side by side with these criminals saying good riddance. So that does not float the MSM’s narrative boat.)
Oh where are the memes for Judge James Boasberg.
I am sort visualizing one where the good’ol adjudicator has to sort out a DOJ ‘ Au contraire, my captain ‘ brief citing IC evidence that can’t be presented to the court over ‘means&methods’ NSA concerns that said deported bad hombres are in fact BMF’ers.
The Court can not have it both ways, one day deference, and next consternation.
What is the Court now going to argue that the IC is fabricating this evidence in light of tens of thousands of pass proceedings where the Court rubber-stamped ‘means&methods’ citation deferrals to the DOJ.
Think Homer Simpson going DUH! looking into a mirror seeing Lurch going “You Rang?”
Only the Executive Branch can appoint prosecutors and enforce the law. To even propose such a thing proves this judge is unstable. He ought to be arrested for sedition.
“He ought to be arrested for sedition.”
Sounds great!
