On CBS’s Face the Nation, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) repeated the talking point of Democratic politicians and pundits that the courts are stopping President Donald Trump’s lawless actions taken after his inauguration. Raskin declared “we’re winning in court…we’re winning across the board.” The boast was dubious at best on Sunday given earlier losses, but became embarrassing on Monday and Tuesday as additional courts ruled in favor of the Trump Administration in major cases.
For weeks, some of us have expressed confusion over the basis for some of the Democratic challenges and initial injunctions in court. President Trump clearly has the authority to designate federal officials to look at the books and track expenditures in the executive branch. After losing both houses and the majority vote, Democratic groups sought to use the courts to block such executive actions.
There was obvious forum shopping as these groups went to many of the same courts and judges for relief. However, even judges viewed as decidedly hostile to Trump like Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington ultimately balked at the demand for an injunction and allowed the access and actions to continue.
On Monday, Judge Randolph Moss, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia delivered a blow to groups seeking to block the Department of Government Efficiency from gaining access to data from the Department of Education on student borrowers. Judge Moss found in his ruling that the University of California Student Association failed to show sufficient irreparable harm to receive such immediate relief.
He, however, left the door open a crack: “The Court leaves for another day consideration of whether USCA has standing to sue and has stated a claim upon which relief may be granted. Those questions are less clear cut and are better answered on a more complete record.”
These and other setbacks do not mean that new cases cannot be brought with new records and parties. However, it is a far cry from the claim of Democrats “winning across the board.”
Of course, Raskin is not alone in the perils of premature celebration:
For those members like Raskin opposing the freeze on hiring and payouts, there is even an example of losing to the Freeze due to a premature celebration:
The race is far from over so both sides may want to stay focused on the finish line in the ongoing litigation.
Are American values only strong enough for America?
Yes.
#74. No one else understands them. They are unique to Americans.
The problem of assimilation…
I recall the professor who taught Federal Civil Procedure telling us 1Ls that courts were reluctant to issue temporary injunctions. The facts of the case had not yet been fully explored; how then could a judge conclude irreparable harm would be done to the moving party if the defendant’s action was allowed to continue? If the case involved whether a forest belonged to the plaintiff or defendant, and the defendant had his chainsaws ready to clearcut, there was the obvious possibility of immediate harm- but not in the instances confronting these district court judges. Two levels of courts could overturn, and we were told judges don’t like being overturned (frankly, who does?) So to issue a TRO in these cases simply proves these judges are permitting their bias (“blind hatred”, “prejudice” if one wants to be blunt) to override their legal knowledge and common sense.
How is an executive order that denies birthright citizenship “blatantly unconstitutional[ly]” (as described by the judge) to legal and illegal aliens around the country not equivalent to a forest that has ALREADY been cut?
Trump is correct in the matter, not your insane penumbras and emanations.
Because no matter how the issue is decided it will have no effect on deportations.
When adults are deported – their minor children go with them.
There is nothing about having a child on US soil that allows you to remain when you are not here legally.
If that child is a citizen – then in 18 years when it is an adult it can come to the US is it wishes.
#74. 😂 no…very funny John say
And even before the age of 18 if the parents approve.
“not equivalent to a forest that has ALREADY been cut?”
Avoiding your highly debatable interpretation of the 14th A. for the moment, you are you so brain-damaged as to be completely unable to evaluate analogies? If an immigrant born here of non-citizen parents was deported, and the ultimate ruling was that his or her deportation was unconstitutional, that injustice could be corrected relatively easily by allowing return, correct? Can you wave a magic judicial wand and expeditiously undo cutting down a 100 year old forest? Would your inclination be to use Crazy Glue to reassemble the trees?
#74. The EO regarding birthright has an error.
I used to laugh every time I saw people standing around a three card monte cardboard box in NYC. I thought what suckers, don’t they get it! I just went to the DOGE site to view some of the contract awards and I’m appalled. The only thing our politicians need are cardboard boxes and a street corner. DOGE keep digging because the louder they scream the closer your getting to them.
Don’t forget that the names of the laws they pass rarely reflects what the law does. The Inflation Reduction Act was not “really” about reducing inflation. It was, according to far left wing Vox, “the most significant climate change-curbing legislation in U.S. history, the bill also gives the federal government leeway to negotiate Medicare prescription drug prices, solidifies an expansion of access to Obamacare and sets a 15% minimum tax on corporations that make more than a billion dollars in profits.” Vox goes on to say it is unlikely to reduce inflation.
The Affordable Care Act did not make healthcare more affordable. Health insurance premiums rose substantially.
And let’s not forget the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism, known as the USA PATRIOT Act, which legitimized domestic spying.
If they are willing to lie and deceive about the names of laws enacted on our behalf, then why isn’t it rational to assume the titles of the programs identified by DOGE are just as meaningless?
If you like your insurance you can keep your insurance/doctor/whatever. 3 lies for the price of one by Obama the traitor. No one ever talks about the 33 MILLION people who liked their insurance but lost it anyway.
” DOGE keep digging because the louder they scream the closer your getting to them.”
I want DOGE to hurry and finish auditing the Executive Branch Depts. so that they (or someone else under Trump’s direction) can audit the Ft. Know gold reserves.

The problem is Chief Justice Roberts. He could be imposing case-uptake-criteria discipline on District Courts, but he’s not.
Instead, he is allowing the Courts to serve as power centers for the unelected — the losing side in a major election. These plaintiffs have zero authority to make policy compared to recently elected officeholders like the President.
To allow the Courts to be used as a “loser’s legislature” is unseemly in the extreme, and betrays a complete misunderstanding of how authorities to govern flow from the People through elections. Roberts is a complete dud., and now must be put under the spotlight. He alone has the power to manage his branch of government back into its lane.
Although I am a conservative, I know that both parties have been guilty of maladministration, malfeasance, theft, embezzlement and almost every other Mal that you can name. I celebrate the work of DOGE to this point because it has been instituted by a Republican President but the wrecking crew has been pointedly bipartisan in it’s attacks and audits of all the institutions of government and Republicans have been just as guilty, through the years as Democrats in these institutions.
My hope, naive as it is, is that when this is done we will have a far leaner and more responsive government that fulfills the needs of our people and nation and does not bankrupt us, irrespective of party.
If successful, this hopefully will last for some time but eventually humanity and governments fall back into bad habits and need to be periodically reminded of the job, sometimes with a slap to the face and sometimes with a 2X4 to the head. Whichever works.
GEB,
Well said. What really needs to happen is laws passed, full transparency, modernization, regular audits, accountability. As you and others have noted, what is to stop the first Democrat president regaining the WH to enable all the fraud, waste and abuse again?
#74 freedom of investigative journalism, of course, upstate. 😂
Republicans are certainly guilty – but “just as guilty” is incorrect.
One of the reasons Trump is able to do this is that the lefts takeover of the institutions has driven republicans out of positions where they can get away with this kind of fraud.
I expect very little implicating republicans will be uncovered – not because Republicans are especially moral.
But because they do not have the same access.
Raskin lied on X yesterday that Trump cut air traffic controllers. On Jan 6, 2017, he tried to overturn Trump’s election. I can’t take him seriously.
Some of us never took Jamie Raskin seriously. He was inane from his debut.
His son didn’t take him seriously either and vice a versa. Cults are like that
“Raskin lied on X yesterday that Trump cut air traffic controllers”
I thought that was Upchuck Schlummer, casting blame on Trump for the Toronto Delta crash. Or were those two a$$hat$ just echoing each other?
It’s unfortunate that JFK AND MLK, Jr’s attempts to moderate the Democrat Party have apparently been in vain as the Party since the 1990’s has descended into the party of radicals and extremists, letting an unbridled quest for power leave them void of morality and virtue. Raskin is one of their top leaders and a prime example of this as he is leading the entire party into the abyss. Their Agenda is one solely of destroying America in a quest to prostrate themselves at the feet of globalist totalitarians and terrorists. They have put themselves on a road into the political wilderness that will last for decades if they fail to conduct the self examination and circumspection required to recover from the depths of depravity from which they dug and now find themselves. One can ascertain by the leftist comments on this thread they are nowhere near recognizing their current state of fugue and rage, which will not help with the extensive rehabilitation required to repair their party’s image and returning to the center.
I’ll bet even George and Wally won’t deny that we have public debt totaling somewhere between 37 and 39 trillion dollars. Interest on that debt is becoming the largest budget item. Biden engaged in a “screw all of you” burst of spending on his way out the door, that has this year’s deficit on track to be 2.5 trillion — one-third of our spending is borrowed. When we reach the point that we must borrow just to pay interest then the end is nigh, friends.
If the DOGE just manages to publize the elected officials who have placed family and pals in high-paying, no-show jobs, I’d consider that a success. Except for some wind-up judges, no one with a brain is going to impair this last ditch effort, because while Margaret Brennan thinks free speech leads to fascism, blass her soul, what has actually done it many times is hyperinflation and backruptcy.
ends don’t justify the means.
I am a libertarian who wants the government to be drastically cut, but these cuts should be made legally. If you would be appalled by a future democratic president simply eliminating the DoD because he is a pacifist, then you should not be happy with what is happening here. Not to mention the disgusting violations of basic conflicts of interest (i.e., cutting air traffic controllers to then bring in SpaceX). This is corruption fit for a banana republic.
The “a Democrat might defund the DoD is not a good argument at all. If such an action were taken the Democrat would be impeached and rightly so.
To equate ending millions for trans, gay, racist, radical spending in 3rd world countries to funding our own defense isn’t really an argument, it is a way to try to protect the egregious spending on left wing causes.
So – you think we should impeach Trump? If you don’t then your argument shows you believe the ends justify the means. Cutting government in an authoritarian manner is justified because of what he is doing.
Again, my critique is a PROCESS argument. Your rant about groups you don’t like is completely irrelevant. Do you not see that?
Your argument isn’t a “process” argument, it is a way to stop Trump from cutting absurd amounts of money from absurd causes.
If Congress authorizes purchasing 20 B1 bombers then Trump can’t say let’s take that money and give it to fund anti-abortion clinics. But that isn’t what is happening. Congress DID NOT fund 50 million dollars for condoms in an African nation did they? NO! They gave money to an agency to spend in crazy ways and that is deserving of curtailing.
If Congress, and you, want to fund a gay television show in Vietnam then FUND THE DAMN THING. We are sick of our money going to fund insane leftist SCAMS all over the world. We are sick of agencies giving BILLIONS to NGOs that are run by their allies to fund works that actually harm the country so that they can get rich.
How many times have we seen buses of illegals being unloaded in cities with some people greeting them with smiles and packages of handouts while we wonder who these people are. Well they are well financed NGOs spending billions to destroy our cities in order for the head of the NGO to make $300,000 a year.
NGOs housing, busing, giving phones and cash to illegals isn’t funding soldiers in our military!!
No evidence of $50 million for condoms in Gaza, as was claimed by Musk. Gaza is not in Africa, by the way.
But, yet again, you are missing the point. Regardless of how silly you think the specific allocation is, the executive cannot ignore administrative law and congress’s will (by statute). Any justification you have for ignoring the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), would be, by definition, a justification for ignoring PROCEDURE based on substance, i.e., ends and means.
All of your “examples” are irrelevant. They just further demonstrate you don’t know what the word “process” means.
#74. “Gave money to an agency” –yes, as a block and suddenly the agency had to spend it or lose it.
Opportunity cost for anyone not requesting a million for zumba dancing lessons in the park for the homeless.
“I am a libertarian”
No you aren’t. What you are is a lying sack of sh1t.
These cuts are being made legally. There is no line item in the budget for waste and fraud.
Trump is proposing the elimination of several agencies. CFPB and DOE as an example.
Congress must eliminate those agencies – But Trump can still limit their wasteful and fraudulent spending.
Milton Friedman does and excellent interview you can find on Youtube covering cabinet agencies to eliminate.
But these require congress.
He can eliminate any of the many that were not created by statute. DOGE was created by Trump and he can get rid of it when he is done.
Arguably he can eliminate any that are not authorized by congress – aparently there are over 1000 government agencies that congress has allowed their authorization to lapse. But I am not seeing evidence Trump is actually going to do that.
I do not know where you are getting your news – No one is cutting competent Air Traffic Controllers.
Trump is trying to get rid of DEI so that many people who passed the ATC exams but were rejected in favor of people who met DEI goals and did not, get this difficult job.
The best solution to AirTraffic Control is to privatize it – as most of the world does. Air Traffic control is handled by airports and paid for by the fees that airlines pay for the use of the airport in much of the world.
We also have problems with our equipment/software – much of which we modernized in the past 20 years. It is insecure and easily hackable.
ATC would make an excellent use case for AI. Air Traffic Control is actually simpler self driving cars.
But there are a number of issues that would have to be addressed regarding how humans integrate into an AI ATC system.
#74. About 2.5 trillion is fraud and waste.
Professor Turley, why are you cherrypicking cases to fuel your age of rage?
https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-litigation-legal-challenges-trump-administration/
If someone wants to tally the “score” then they should look at that tracker… Anything less is just GOP propaganda.
.
Not to mention, some of the “wins” you note above are Phyrric victories. Chutkan for example based her conclusion on the understanding that DOGE is an agency. That means it is subject to the APA. Other “wins” are based on the assumption DOGE is not an agency. This House of Cards will crumble once that question is decided.
To all of you screaming that “both parties are corrupt and they are as bad as each other” I will ask one questions:
If both parties are as bad as each other tell me which party nominated (and voted for) Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanagh and Barrett and which party nominated (and voted for) Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan?
Those screaming that the parties are all the same and now waiting hopefully for the courts to shut down these challenges to Trump need to ask yourself how the courts would be deciding these issues if Republicans hadn’t won the WH and the Senate for the last 30 years.
The best Democrat, say a Manchin or a Fetterman votes for more harmful bills than does the worst Republican, san Collins or Murkowski. Sure our Alaska and Maine senators vote badly sometimes, but without them we would have lost the filibuster and now had 13 Justices and 52 states.
You know how the Dems like to make fun of Trump’s appearance? Would you trust Raskin alone with your children? Something about him . . .
He is what is known as a “Red Diaper Baby”. Brought up commie and as far left as is possible while trying to play the “I am a moderate Democrat” BS.
SLAM@81 (Senior Lay American Male age 81): I know on no provision in the US Constitution for a two major party political system and demonizing the left in the present doesn’t erase the acts of treason of the right in the past. And, too, any of the working-class majority which thinks there’s any real difference between the Retardicans and the Dummycrats of the present has their head so far up their rear that what they perceive to be hemorrhoids is actually brain tumors. The best example I know of for less senior Americans to easily reference (e.g., Congressional Record) is the so-called “Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999” passed into bad law by Bill Clinton and a very ‘bipartisan’ (e.g., Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, etc.) 85% of the 106th Congress collapsing the US economy in 2008. Mostly smoke and mirrors, it’s now Trump’s turn to sell-off some of Ukraine to Putin and all of the Gaza Strip to Israel and investors. Same ole, same ole; the rich get richer and the rest of us get more enslaved; ‘land of the fee and the home of the slave, from sea to slimy sea.’

Sounds like some stored up frustration of many years duration.
Also a little off topic.
You are just another lunatic that can’t find a difference between Trump, Cruz, House Republicans, Vance, and other decent conservative Republicans and Warren, Jeffries, Schumer, Schiff, AOC, Crockett and all the radical leftist Democrats.
I love the Kat Timf types that say proudly that they didn’t vote for Trump because they are “Libertarians” and they know that both parties are bad. They toss out the good to try to achieve their version of perfection. They are no smarter than the liberal idiots that voted for Nader in 2020 helping Bush and Stein in 2016 helping Trump.
Anonymous, your rant is incoherent but it might sound better on a carton of Ben and Jerry’s Commie Chocolate Ice Cream.
” now Trump’s turn to sell-off some of Ukraine to Putin and all of the Gaza Strip to Israel and investors. “
Just one small correction of a few that are necessary. Gaza is part of Israel’s sovereign territory per international law following WW1, so any sale would be Israel’s choice.
I think I understand what underlies your exasperation but the rant lacks the material needed to make a cogent argument.
Beg to differ. The Gaza strip is not part of Israel’s sovereign territory, because Israel says it isn’t.
Israel was not founded by the San Remo conference, nor was it founded by the UN General Assembly. It was founded by the men and women who gathered at a Tel Aviv hotel on the 5th of Iyar 5708, or some Friday in May 1948, and signed the Scroll of Independence. It was founded by the people who supported that declaration, and rose up to fight a war to defend it from multiple invading armies all intent on finishing the job their ally Hitler started. So the only entity that gets to decide Israel’s sovereign borders is the Knesset, and for the moment it says Judaea, Benjamin, Samaria, and Gaza are not within those borders. I wish it were otherwise, but it isn’t.
Milhouse, you have a point, but if what you say is accurate, then in today’s world, part of southern Lebanon should be Israeli. The tribes of Asher and Naphtali were in southern Lebanon, and the tribe of Dan moved up there as well.
However, the basis for today’s Israeli borders is not where the original tribes settled but rather the British Mandate, which included most of ancient Israel. Israel is free to relinquish control, but legally, the Gaza Strip (ancient Philistines) remains a sovereign part of Israel, just like Judea and Samaria (West Bank).
RASKIN is a Radical Left Wing DEM and a proud member of the J6 Committee which is being investigated, and Jamie Raskin is a FOOOOL. Raskin/DEM Lawfare has won in handpicked courts/Judges who under the light reveal these Judges have a lot of issues, such as involved, or their wives involved in the NGO’s receiving $$$ or Bid Donors to Biden. All or Most of these so-called wins will be overturned in Appeal or Supreme Court.
Judge Chutkin, another Redial DEM and member of I hate Trump club, in her case is setting up to invoke the Appointment Clause, which on appeal to the Supreme Court will be overruled.
The Supreme Court is seriously considering the Trump appeal regarding the firing of Hunter Biden’s good friend and Blue Blood Hampton Delinger, which the Lawfare DEMS did not count on, they thought the court would not hear a TRO but, it seriously involved Article II and Presidential authority. The DEMS and Hampton will lose.
In the end all these court cases and eventual Appeals and Overturns of questionable DEM Judges will make Trump stronger and DEMS weaker.
Seek help. Your brain has been severely impaired by Fox, OAN and Rush.

You should consider that no institution made by man is totally sacrosanct. Some are great and enduring, others fail from the first and others are effective over time but then decay and start to smell like left over fish and need to be removed.
The major question is the judgments of which remain effective and should be maintained, which need modification, and which only constitue to fill up space and no longer achieve anything and should be removed.
Even the Constitution, great as it is, has a means to change it and this has been used.
In the throes of his “premature celebration,” Raskin screamed out, “With every defeat I suffer, America emerges victorious on all fronts!”
With a little luck, some of the politicians whose net worths defy reason will be found to have left a “paper trail” outlining a crooked trail right back to the theft of taxpayer dollars by fraud or outright thievery. Doge needs to keep digging.
What absolute hokum. You know nothing of personal financial management. You talk nonsense, always have.
@hokum
All you offer is unfounded insults.
My speculation is reasonable. If you think that none of the Washington burrowcrats and politicians have laundered public money through foreign aid and chains of fraudulent NGOs right back into their own accounts I have a high speed train between Bakersfield and Fresno that you should invest in.
OldFish,
I think you speculation is in fact reasonable. I also think that is why so many of them are screaming so loud and trying to use the courts to block progress DOGE is achieving.
The Left = Theft.
Reply to “Anonymous” – I am a conservative voters. Your comment about GOP Congressmen being guilty is correct. All 435 House Members for about the past 75 years are fully complicit and guilty of allowing the waste, fraud, abuse, and graft to reach the levels it has. Since all spending originates in the House, Congressmen have a duty to scrutinize every penny of tax money spent. Instead, they’ve all played “go along to get along”, and spent most of their time hustling donors. Off with all of their heads.
You nailed it.
Peter Schweizer wrote two excellent books on the subject. Red Handed and Secret Empires both are investigative books that detail how it is done. And yes, politicians and senior government officials on both sides have cashed in, for a long time.
This reminds me of a scene in “No Country for Old Men.”
“Where did you get that?”
“At the gettin’ place.”
That’s where the billions trillions come from. The gettin’ place.
Just recently saw a Facebook post extolling all the wonderful things the Dept of Education does. No where did the person acknowledge we are completely bankrupt and going further and further into debt. Practically all government agencies need a substantial haircut including DOD. The future of our country is at stake unless we reel in government spending. 2 trillion deficits are unsustainable!
The future… stop hyperventilating, the country will not crash tomorrow, or in x years. Its been has been taking on debt for decades. It can manage it without collapsing.
The country can operate in debt forever
But debt growing significantly faster than gdp is unsustainable
And the faster debt grows the slower gdp grows see the studies of Reinhardt and rogoff and many others
So the higher the debt the harder it is to keep that debt from growing exponentially
The us is just past a tipping point
Interest on the debt is now growing exponentially and will slowly eat the entire budget
We can manage for a few more years
But the problem will get worse and the pain of fixing harder each year
Further we can not stop inflation without reducing deficits
Spending cuts work
Look at Argentina
A 3000% reduction in inflation in a bit more than a year
A lot of exaggeration in your comment. Not all polits cash out of DC as millionaires. Not all get book deals. Not all get consultancies. What you write is hyperbole.
And that waste and fraud is also due to republicans, decades of inaction about budgets, lip service at best.
So Trump may be on to something. Wait and see people. The media is exaggerating or lying. Its what they do.
Ats
Pretty much all cash out as millionaires
Book deals generally require a high profile
Consultancies are more common for the unelected
It is amazing to watch the radical left run around screaming (literally) and acting as though their hair was on fire. Why? Because waste, fraud have been discovered in mass quantities? Because of flagrant misconduct and mismanagement has been discovered?
There has always been the question of how career politicians enter Washington and take a modest salary for D.C. and they leave with millions. Then there is the delay tactic. When they leave, they are lavished with “consultancies” book deals and board memberships.
This nation has been heading toward a fiscal crisis for years and as we speed toward the edge of the cliff, someone arrives on the scene who cares. The reaction? They scream profanities and their true colors “come shining through.”
E.M.
Yep! It is fun to watch all the screaming though. And I read where “bleach bit,” and “how to wipe a hard drive” were trending in the DC metro area. Seems there is a lot more corruption going on that some are really scared. At some point, someone is not going to take a hit for someone else and be willing to testify of corruption.
Upstate,
That is interesting what is been searched on the internet in the D.C. area. it would be very interesting to see what is really being googled in the Washington DC area. I bet there is panic. I live in an area with many federal jobs, and I can tell from some of the people I’ve spoken with that they are concerned about their future.
One of my family members is an industrial electrician who travels to many places throughout the nation. He has told me some very strange stories about the waste,fraud and abuse on some of these big government projects. He said that most of these projects could get by with 1/3 of the manpower that are usually present. The reason is that many of those who show up draw their paycheck, but do not produce any work. Too many supervisors, not enough skilled workers who are motivated, and who still take pride in their work.
He is thinking about getting out of the union. They have flooded their ranks with immigrants who he said, typically are not very hard-working, lack basic skills and have very little motivation. This is the opposite of my personal experience with primary migrant workers who have to make a living on their own. These are the ones who typically do excellent skilled work The new ones however are not the same.
For instance, his training required 8000 hours as an apprentice and two years class work and a rigorous examination. They have lowed the standards and are scheduling 1 journeyman to 6 to 9 apprentices and unskilled helpers who are drawing better than average scale. The requirements have been lowered.
These jobs are multimillion dollar projects that involve very expensive and dangerous industrial equipment. It is a collision course toward disaster. It is something that needs to be changed quickly, or we are going to be in deep trouble. We were once the envy of the world for our skilled labor force. We could build things well and we could build them quickly.
The political science majors, and those who have liberal arts degrees will find themselves jobless. Those who possess skills that can make things or fix things will be the ones that will emerge in this new economy. They will be the ones that will be able to survive if the world comes to disaster. My father told me that if a person had their health and they had the tools of their trade and a skill they could survive in any condition
