I’m getting really sick of the judiciary usurping the Constitutional power of the POTUS. Here’s the latest little tick on the hide of our republic:
A federal judge, appointed by former President Barack Obama, has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from halting legal immigration and asylum applications from nearly 40 countries deemed “high-risk” by officials.
“Each of the Challenged Policies — the Global Asylum Hold Policy, the Benefits Hold Policy, the Comprehensive Re-Review Policy, and the Country-Specific Factors Policy — are declared unlawful and are hereby VACATED and SET ASIDE,” McConnell wrote in his ruling.
See, I thought that we Americans — and most especially the President — could absolutely decide who and who not to allow into the country.
Needless to say, the aforementioned judge is not only an Obama pustule, but also resident in Rhode Island (as if we needed any more proof of his Leftism).
I’m curious as to what grounds this creep used to classify all those policies as “illegal” — I’m hoping that one of my Powdered Wig Readers will be sufficiently interested to cast an eye on the actual ruling and decipher it for us.
Also just out of curiosity: how many federal judges has Trump appointed in the past eighteen months? Because that seems to be the only (legal) way we can overwhelm assholes like this from subverting the Executive.
Note that I’m not advocating this:
… although some might.
