Ordering Terrorists Returned to Our Home Is Insane

At the heart of our democratic form of government is the critical need for an impartial judiciary which directly springs from our Separation of Powers.  An impartial judiciary is indispensable to the rule of law because, if we lose our case but believe we were granted a fair trial and “had our day in court,” we are willing to live with the results.  That core principle is being undermined by a federal judge in Washington, D.C.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg last week blocked an order of President’s Trump’s that is expressly based upon Pres. Trump’s authority as Commander in Chief and, specifically, on the Alien Enemies Act, to deport criminal illegals who are members of Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang. (I note that Boasberg also played a key and controversial role in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax as the leader of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.)

This is not even a close call.  

President Trump posted, ‘Unlawful nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country. If a President doesn’t have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail.”

Judge Boasberg is engaging in judicial activism by legislating from the bench—making policy—in a manner that is unconstitutional and, therefore, illegitimate. What do I mean?

A president acts with the greatest authority when he acts as Commander in Chief.  This is because the Framers of our Constitution recognized that the decision to respond to an attack against our country would, of necessity, need to be quick and decisive and not driven by consensus in the U.S. Congress.

It is simply beyond debate that the Commander in Chief has broad—if not nearly complete—constitutional authority to protect and defend our nation and ensure our national security.  And, as it pertains to the tens of thousands of criminal illegals in our country committing heinous acts of murder and rape, our country and national security are under attack.  

We are dealing with a single federal judge who is blocking the authority and decision-making of a duly elected president who possesses an overwhelming political mandate to address for purposes of national security the very issue of illegal immigration.  That’s judicial arrogance and judicial abuse.

I won’t even address here that, as the very embodiment of the Executive Branch, a president also has great authority within the Executive Branch to direct federal agencies, fire federal workers and to reexamine the spending of billions of federal dollars, but he does.

The role of the Legislative Branch is to “legislate,” to make law in conjunction with a president either signing or vetoing a proposed bill.  The role of the Judicial Branch is to strictly serve as the “referee” between the branches to see that they remain within the confines of their constitutional powers.  As such, it is absolutely not the role of any federal court to make policy or serve as a super legislature, second guessing the political branches. 

This rogue Judge is unilaterally employing a nationwide injunction blocking the deportation of foreign terrorists from our land.  He doesn’t have that authority.

The U.S. Supreme Court must address this quickly. 

I note that in a rare public statement, Chief Justice John Roberts indicated that the way to address judicial decisions that a president disagrees with is not to resort to impeachment of that judge but instead to rely on the appellate review process.   I disagree.  What this judge is doing is a direct affront to the rule of law and our constitutional scheme.  Other Leftist judges across the nation are doing the same thing.  If he wants to head off impeachment of federal judges, Chief Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court should review and reverse this decision quickly.

Justice Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently made a cowardly decision not to rebuke a similar ruling by another federal district judge who blocked Pres Trump’s perfectly legal decision to review all federal grants and halt payments of those grants until the review was complete.  Both justices should remember that our federal government is one of co-equal branches which means that the Separation of Powers also applies to theJudicial Branchand these abuses, if not swiftly checked, will prompt greater calls for the impeachment of federal judges.
