Republicans In Congress Look To Stop ‘Judicial
Coup D’Etat’

Original Article

Posted By: Harlowe, 4/21/2025 12:07:12 PM

In the opening three months of President Trump’s ambitious “flood the zone” second term, we have witnessed activist federal courts issue a tsunami of national injunctions against the executive branch. Rep. Bob Onder, R-Mo., recently described the third branch’s overzealous blocking of Trump’s executive orders as a “judicial coup d’etat.” [Snip] Over the Easter Weekend, a courage-deficient, seven-justice Supreme Court issued what dissenting Justice Samuel Alito described as a “middle of the night” ruling temporarily blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan illegal immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

Comments:

Justices Alito and Thomas believe “Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law” and “questioned whether the high court had jurisdiction to take the case” based on documentation normally filed for such Court intervention not having been received by the Court.

Cut off every benefit, no cash, no food, no medical, no drivers license and no housing. Give them nothing! Non citizens deserve nothing hard working Americans produce. While the house is at it, start cutting funds to these difficult court jurisdictions or just eliminate them.

Where were members of Congress, these virtuous lawyers and judges, the ACLU, etc when innocent US citizen taxpaying visitors to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021 were imprisoned without due process? I reckon US citizens deserve to rot in DC jails but criminal aliens are to be protected. I laugh when I hear a dim cite law.

Make no mistake, this is a power struggle. Last time, Washington used a pandemic to tie Trump's hands. This time, Washington is playing a more active role by turning the entire judicial system against him. The legislative branch has made some noises but seems to be staying on the sidelines. They are good at that. If they showed their hand too much, they would be voted out. Trump still enjoys a majority of the popular support in spite of what the media says. It's quite clear the people controlling Washington only look out for themselves. That's not how our country is supposed to work.

Congress better hurry up and act before the SC wrecks US. The polls favor Trump significantly, but these chicken poops are too sorry to take real action. They keep playing in our faces with their hearings and tough talk. They don't realize we've moved on, but they are sure we won't abandon them precisely because the dems are way worse than their sorry behinds.

#4 has a point about the linguini-spined members of the legislative branch... and the observation is particularly applicable to its RINOs. These people seem to think this is just the latest avenue of partisan bickering that will pass, as others have.... What they don't understand is that the left doesn't intend to let the pendulum swing back... they intend to destroy the system with the pendulum firmly swinging to the left. My advice to the Senate is to pass this legislation, and kill the filibuster if necessary to do. After all, the filibuster rule is nothing more than a Senate rule. On the other hand, the Republic as defined in The Constitution is at stake...

It's clear now that the Supreme Court will not rein in its activist district judges from making nationwide rulings that are clearly outside their jurisdiction. Several of the "conservative justices" have caught a bad case of TDS apparently, and it appears to be getting worse. So Congress needs to act to overtly change the authority of the entire district court structure, so they will no longer be able to issue nationwide temporary restraining orders. In addition. it may be wise to create an entirely separate administrative court system solely for the purpose of expediting the massive number of deportations needed. If the Supreme Court won't do its job, take that job completely away from them. Let them stew in their TDS juices while the deportation administrative courts get the job done, fast and furious, without goofy activist/TDS judge interference and hostile obstruction.

In 2018, Eugenio Scalfari reported the words that Bergoglio supposedly confided to him about his vision of the afterlife: “Sinful souls are not punished: those who repent obtain God’s forgiveness and join the ranks of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, sinful souls simply disappear”. These heretical ravings are directly opposed to the Catholic Faith, which teaches us that there is a particular Judgment for everyone, which Bergoglio could not escape. His soul has therefore not disappeared, nor has it dissolved: he will have to account for the crimes he has committed,...

The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.
