Below is my column in the New York Post on the first 100 days of the Trump Administration in court. It is too early to handicap many of these lower courts decisions. I have been critical of some of these orders as either premature or unconstitutional. There is a reason for the hyperkinetic pace of the Administration. However, it needs greater focus and discipline in picking cases.
Here is the column:
The first 100 days of the Trump administration have been described in the same way on sites ranging from the ACLU to Vanity Fair: Chaos.
It seems like the Justice Department is battling everywhere on everything at the same time.
It is indeed chaos, but it is not necessarily as random or as reckless as it may seem to the naked eye.
I have been critical of a number of legal moves by the Trump administration, including policies that undermine free speech values. Yet there is a type of legal chaos theory behind all of these actions. In science, chaos theory suggests that, even in a system of seemingly random actions, there can be patterns and interconnections.
The hyperkinetic litigation around the country reflects two realities.
First, Democratic state governments and groups have a massive war chest to challenge any and every new policy of President Trump. In California, the Democrats actually pre-approved a litigation fund before the inauguration to do precisely that.
Second, and more importantly, Trump promised sweeping changes from immigration to transgender policies to education reforms.
If you know that you are going to be challenged, it is better to get into court as soon as possible to move critical cases through the legal system. What you need is finality. Even if you lose cases, you need to know what authority you have.
Immigration wins
This is an administration in a hurry. Trump learned in his first term that you need to move as fast and as far as possible in the first two years of a presidential term.
With the midterm elections looming, Trump knows that reforms may end and investigations and impeachments will begin if the Democrats retake the House in 2026.
Despite some losses, the Justice Department has succeeded generally in reaffirming its authority to seek the reduction of government and to root out waste. It has also made real progress in other areas.
Take the area of greatest success for the Trump administration: Immigration.
One thing that was clearly established in the first 100 days is that the entry of millions of unlawful immigrants was a choice made by the Biden administration and the Democrats. They could have stopped most of these entries at any time, but elected to leave the southern border effectively open for four years as millions poured over.
In a matter of weeks, Trump effectively closed the border. In February, there were just 8,326 southern border encounters, down from 189,913 in February 2024. Daily encounters this week declined 97% from Biden.
As many of us stated during the Biden administration, Democrats could have shut down the border, but clearly did not want to. Now with millions in the country, Democrats are calling for “pathways to citizenship” by arguing that there is no way to process so many illegals allowed in under Biden.
In the meantime, the public overwhelmingly favors deportations and elected Trump on his pledge to carry out such removals. Polling shows that 83% of Americans support deportations of immigrants with violent criminal records and roughly half support mass deportation of all undocumented persons.
A new CBS poll shows that, after the first 100 days, 56 percent approve of President Donald Trump’s “program to find and deport immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.”
National injunctions
To carry out that policy, Trump is seeking to use new expedited systems. For the worst individuals, he has turned to the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act, a little-used act that presents a series of novel, unresolved questions.
Even with this smaller subset of detainees, individual hearings and appeals could make Biden’s decision to allow millions into the country a permanent reality. Many immigrants have been given initial court dates that extend beyond the Trump term.
Trump also pledged to reduce trade barriers for American exports and he is pushing existing laws to the breaking point on tariffs. He is right on the merits.
Even our closest allies impose unfair barriers to our goods and Trump sought to change the status quo with sweeping tariffs issued under his own authority.
Democrats have challenged that authority in various courts and, again, there are good-faith arguments that must be hashed out in court.
It is too early to tell how successful these cases will prove. However, a district court injunction (or even a dozen injunctions) a crisis does not make.
The Supreme Court is about to hear arguments on limiting the use of national injunctions and some of these district court decisions are highly challengeable on appeal.
There is no question that Trump is moving at a lightning speed and the Justice Department has to move at the same pace as the president.
There is also no question that it would better to slow down to avoid some of the unforced errors in the first 100 days.
However, Trump knows that time is of the essence. If he is going to realign the markets and make progress on issues like deportations, he has to put points on the board before the midterm elections. Ronald Reagan lost 26 seats in the House in his first midterm, Bill Clinton lost 54, and Barack Obama lost a breathtaking 63 seats.
The greatest problem for the Justice Department is that the White House and the political team appear to be largely dictating these moves. Political aides see these hills as worth dying on. Even if they lose in court, fighting to remove criminal aliens or to reduce certain foreign aid remains popular with voters.
Don’t alienate judges
The frenzy, however, can come at a cost. That includes alienating justices on the Supreme Court. The resistance to court orders and hyperbolic rhetoric seems to be wearing thin with members like Chief Justice John Roberts.
Trump will need these votes when they really count on big-ticket items like his inherent authority to act in areas ranging from markets to migrants.
Fights over Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia are burning time and effort. If he was simply returned as ordered by a court, Abrego Garcia could be promptly and correctly deported right back to El Salvador. He has no cognizable basis for remaining in the United States.
Richard Carlson, a Bay Area psychotherapist, famously wrote a book titled “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff … and it’s all Small Stuff.” Fights like Garcia are small stuff.
Of course, much of what presidents do is “big stuff” and you have two years to make those things happen. In a curious way, the Trump administration is fortunate to have many of these issues in court early to gain greater finality on the lines of authority. However, it needs to focus on the big stuff . . . and a short calendar.
Jonathan Turley is a law professor at George Washington University and the author of best-selling book “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
If the Supreme Court justices were doing their jobs, determining the constitutionality of the lower court orders, rather than attempting to dictate policy to the executive office, the justices shouldn’t need to be alienated. Justice Roberts seems to be more concerned about his ruffled feathers than doing his job. Somebody needs to point this out to him. Thank you Justices Alito and Thomas.
The gift that keeps on giving.
NEW: @FoxNews
has obtained a second protective order filed against “Maryland Man” Kilmar Abrego Garcia by his wife in 2020, in which she accuses him of physical abuse, threatening her, & says she has a recording where he says even if he killllls her, “nobody can do anything to him”.
Tell us again how this is a nice guy.
Democrats: “We are ABOVE the law!!! Criminal illegals FIRST!!”
And what does this mean?

“A bipartisan measure to undo Trump’s global tariffs fails in the Senate”
The resolution to rein in Trump’s tariff authority stalled on a 49-49 tie, with two senators missing the vote.
WASHINGTON — A bipartisan measure that sought to undo the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump imposed on most countries this month failed in the GOP-led Senate on Wednesday.
The vote ended in a tie, 49-49, with three Republicans — Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — joining all Democrats present in support of the resolution, which was designed to terminate the national emergency Trump declared to implement his global tariffs.
– NBC NEWS
I understand Rand Pauls position. Though I would note it is unlikely this would have passed the house.
Further Paul has given Trump ammunition regarding Challenges in court.
The congress CLEARLY had the power to stop the tariffs. It did not – that effectively means the Senate atleast backs the tariffs.
It is also a recognition of Trump
s power – The Senate tried to undo the declartion of an emergency. They did NOT trry to undo or modify the law.
“. . . the national *emergency* Trump declared . . .” (emphasis added)
How quickly they forget the pretext used to rationalize the Covid diktats.
History and a moderate understanding of political philosophy are your friends. Use them.
P.S. Four personal attacks in an all caps invective does not make an argument.
There are several very good ideas about the federal courts discussed in this substack article by professor Glenn Reynolds.
https://instapundit.substack.com/p/trump-and-the-lower-courts
Several have already been mentioned here.
This is Roberts’ problem. Did he really want clever people in and out of public office crafting ideas for changing court jurisdiction to make up for his lapses in action and judgment?
I think Roberts will be leaving a legacy of inertia and incompetence. And a court system with a shorter leash.
Finally, some good news.

DOGE is part of the executive.

These judges are blocking an executive audit of an executive agency done to prevent waste and fraud.
Why are the judges shielding fraud and waste?
Every day the courts issue yet more egregious decisions and Roberts is either whining or standing quietly with his thumb stuck up somewhere.
Democrats already seem to think the Supreme Court is irrelevant. Now Roberts is pushing Republicans to the same conclusion.

Jonathan: DJT is having a hard time trying to explain all the bad economic news in his first 100 days. The GDP is down .3%–the first time this has happened since the first quarter of 2022, in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis. With the stock market continuing to crash, Americans are losing their life savings and economists are expecting a recession this year, who does DJT blame? Not himself and all his insane policies. Nope. DJT blames Joe Biden: “This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s… I didn’t take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon to start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the US in record numbers”.
There is nothing true in DJT’s statement. If DJT had taken economics instead hotel management at Wharton he would have learned a basic principle of the stock market. Markets react to present and future market trends, not what happened in the past. Biden didn’t start a trade war with the rest of the world. That is solely on DJT!
And it’s not true that companies “are starting to move into the US in record numbers”. Companies are pausing all the investment and expansion plans because they don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Foreign investors are avoiding the US under DJT–even getting out of the US bond market. They are actually making deals with China. Countries like Canada and the EU are also approaching China because the US under DJT is an unreliable trading partner.
General Eisenhower said he would take personal responsibility if the D-day invasion failed. Pres. Truman had a sing on his desk that read “The Buck Stops Here!”. Real responsible leaders take responsibility for their own actions. Not DJT. As a sociopathic narcissist he always has to blame someone or something else for his own failures!
Dennis, meanwhile I am enjoying $2.49 gasoline, stable grocery prices, including eggs.
Any temporary hesitation in large purchases doesn’t stop a person from needing a thing. They will be bought eventually. I am glad at least that there is somebody trying to do something about this instead of taking naps and hanging out on the beach. I’m glad somebody’s trying to end this needless and bloody war in Ukraine in Russia.
I am happy to see the CCP having a hiccup in their economy. They exploit their workers and do not hesitate to cheat, steal, and dump on markets. They hold the Uyghurs in concentration camps and force them into slave labor. They murder the healthy ones and sell their body parts to rich people seeking organ transplants. But hey, they make and sell cheap crap.
Are you hoping that we fail just so you can hurt the President?
Who was president in 2022 ? Not Trump.
There was no Covid Crisis in 2020 – Biden inherited an economy with 7% growth and tanked it.
Had nothing to do with Covid.
As I noted in another post the economic indicators are mixed. This is one negative one. There are other positive ones.
No americans are not losing their life savings – My 401K is doing fine. My other investments are doing fine.
Trump has inherited a mess – GDP has been dropping since June. Lots of economists including me predicted that we would have a recession in the near future when Inflation hit 9+% Historically that is the ONLY way we have ever cleared inflation.
As you fixate on economic indicators – the inflation rate was down to 2.4 – it has been dancing near 3% for a year.
2.4 is still too high but it is high normal, rather than low dangerous.
The stock market is reacting to uncertainty regarding Tariffs.
It will recover.
The total size of the private workforce has increased 2M since Trump took office.
So long as employment remains strong – and there are very good reasons to be optomistic long term and short term regarding employment.
If there is going to be a recession – NOW is the best time, that would mean a strong recovery in 2025 and 2026 – in time for the mid terms.
Trumps Wharton Degree is in Real Estate – not hotel management. At the same time While Trump has said that a Wharton degree was a big deal in the circles he moved, he has also said – he did not learn anything at Wharton.
Trumps current net worth is $4.8B – that is double what it was in jan 2021.
Further Fortune estimates his actual net worth is about 2.9B higher as that does not value two very difficult to value crypto assets.
US GDP rose 13.5% during Trump’s first term with net zero inflation.
After inflation GDP rose the same amount exactly during Biden’s 4 years – but people had to deal with 27% overall inflation and that really hurst working class people.
BTW – the goal of the Trmp administration is NOT to drive the stock market to new heights – it is to drive the standard of living of the bottom 3 quintiles in the US up as much as possible. And to do so without unsustainable subsidies, and government handouts.
Trump increased average yearly income for the working class by 4500/year during his first term. Conversely Biden dropped it by 3500/yr – that is what inflation does. Biden had a great stock market – though not so good after inflation.
But what was true was what Democrats constantly accuse Republicans of – the Rich got richer and the poor got poorer.
“Markets react to present and future market trends”
Markets react to very many things. They TEND to be anticipatory. The TEND to predict the economy – but they only do so when only a few things are changing at a time.
My bet is that there will NOT be significant tariffs – that nearly all countries will cut a deal. Though there is some indication that Trump intends to maintain a higher that previous baseline Tariff as a way to pay for the elimination of income taxes on people earning less than 50K/yr.
Economically that is probably significantly net positive.
“Biden didn’t start a trade war with the rest of the world.”
Correct – he screwed over the working class for the benefit of the wealthy.
“That is solely on DJT!”
Correct – and at this time we do not have any idea what the future of Trade will be. We do not know if Trump will stick to significant tariffs on much of the world or whether their will be deals that reduce US tariffs in return for siognificant reductions in foreign tariffs and US business access to foreign markets.
Likely we will see something in the middle but close to globally law tariffs.
Regardless guessing the impact of tariffs on the economy requires KNOWING what the results of ongoing negotiations will be.
With respect to economics – Had the world responded to Trump with retaliatory tarriffs – that likely would have sent the whole world into recession and possibly depression. But thus far that has NOT happened. Only China has retaliated.
And frankly China is having problems with their retaliatory tariffs and has had to drop some.
The US provides sophisticated raw materials to china – chemicals that go to make plastics. Inputs to China’s industrial base.
Tariffing the inputs to production that you can not source elsewhere just screws your own economy.
China has had to agressively cut some of its own retaliatory tariffs.
Other US imports in China are comodities – China can get them from anywhere in the world, and the US can sell them anywhere in the world.
So if China tarriffs US soy, Brazil sells Soy to china at a slightly higher than normal profit, and the US sells soy to whoever Brazil was previously.
Absent a glut or shortage – global commodities just shift arround to avoid Tariffs.
Conversely What China sells to the US is to a very large extent things we can do without – technically they are luxury goods, But not in the sense of Tiffany’s or Yachts. They are things that the american working class can buy cheaply from China, that they could not buy at all or at very high cost 40 years ago.
The extent to which Tarriffs on China hurts the US depends on how important Chinese goods are to americans.
If Americans MUST buy what China sells – Trump’s Tariffs on china will be very unpopular very fast.
If they are things americans can buy elsewhere or delay purchasing or not purchase at all – then there will be little harm to the US.
But all cases are very harmful to China.
It is very difficult to tell what is going on in China – China is one of the most closed governments in the world.
But most analysts think China is in trouble.
China claimed to have hit a 5% growth target for 1Q 2025 – but reported government revenue was down 3.5% suggesting China actually had 3/5% NEGATIVE GDP in 1Q2025.
There are lots of stories that China has shed 10M jobs already (and the US has gained 2M) and that is BEFORE tarriffs actually kicked in.
Regardless, we are going to have to see. Most of the economics of tariffs comes from the 19th century, many things are different now.
but during the 19th century tariffs did NOT cause recessions and depressions – as always recessions and depressions resulted from govenrment monetary failures. In the 19th century those were by congress, since 1916 they have been by the Fed.
Regardless, Tariffs are deflationary not inflationary. They benefit the bottom 3 quintiles and harm the top quintiles.
“And it’s not true that companies “are starting to move into the US in record numbers”. Companies are pausing all the investment and expansion plans because they don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Foreign investors are avoiding the US under DJT”
Your reading the same people who told you Harris was going to win by 400 in the EC and that Joe Biden was not cognatively impaired.
There is plenty of investment flowing in – some of it will have positive benefits quickly, but most of it will take time.
Some of it is driven by Tariffs. Some of it was inevitable.
“even getting out of the US bond market.”
Bond yeilds are dropping – that means people are BUYING.
“They are actually making deals with China. Countries like Canada and the EU are also approaching China because the US under DJT is an unreliable trading partner.”
ROFL – the EU told China to stuff it. Honestly the claim that the EU can throw China a life line is just stupid.
The EU can not buy more chinese goods, and with few exceptions can not replace goods the US sells to china.
There are exceptions to this – but most are comodities – and the global shifting of commodities negates the impact of China’s tariffs on the US.
The US is the largest market in the world. We also have the highest standard of living of anmy country with over 20M people and a standard of living 35% higher than the EU. Europeans litterally can not afford to buy more from China.
It is not happening even if they wanted to and they do not want to.
The major export that Canada has that China would want is energy.
Canadian oil is essentially TAR, and requires refineries set up to use it. China can do that but not over night.
Further Canadian energy infrastructure is built to send energy to the US. Canada does not currently have the capacity to export energy to China even if it wanted to and it would take years to build it. SOME canadian energy can go to china. But mostly Canada sells energy to the US or its economy tanks. The same is true of much of the rest of what Canada sells to the US – it is NOT setup to quickly or cost effectively sell that elsewhere.
Alberta is so pissed at Stupid Canadian economic policies – including confrontations with the US they are likely going to have a referendum this fall to leave canada.
Dennis the world is NOT turning its back on the US – IT CAN’T – more so than any moment in time, the rest of the world is massively dependent on the US.
I would futher note that all of Asia is just praying for China’s demise.
While they can not instantly replace production from China – they can rapidly – they do not have the horrid govenrment burden that the est does making economic shifts take forever. In many instances they are already started. The rest of Asia already has the capacity to replace about 30% of what we buy from China. Yes most of Asia is DYING for trade deals with the US.
China has another huge problem. As noted US exports are either comodities, or inputs to production. Foreign and especially chinese tariffs on US goods are actually self destructive. They will not harm the US. We CAN sell elsewhere. We can sell to whoever loses product because their supplier shifted to supplying china.
The US market place is NOT replaceable. Not for China, not for any other country.
Finally – just like the Bidweiser boycott, if US tariffs last long – the countries losing US sales will NOT get them back when the tariffs go away.
“General Eisenhower said he would take personal responsibility if the D-day invasion failed. Pres. Truman had a sing on his desk that read “The Buck Stops Here!”. Real responsible leaders take responsibility for their own actions. Not DJT. As a sociopathic narcissist he always has to blame someone or something else for his own failures!”
If Tariffs fail – Trump will be blamed no matter what. But we are atleast 6 months away from actual failure. If they fail at all.
My bet is that just as Trump says – everyone – including china makes a deal.
The US has far less to lose.
John Say,
Good to see someone knows something about economics, unlike Dennis who cannot read a jobs report or understand the over all picture of the recent GDP report.
“ Biden inherited an economy with 7% growth and tanked it.
Had nothing to do with Covid.”
Wow, the excuses are insane.
Biden inherited a wounded economy from Trump. How did he tank it? The economy continued to grow under Biden It remained stable. Now we have the first economic contraction under Trump thanks to the tariff mess he created. The stock market lost trillions under Trump and prices are not coming down.
“ Trump has inherited a mess – GDP has been dropping since June.”
No it hasn’t. You don’t even provide evidence of your claim. The average GDP growth under Trump’s first term was 2.6%. Under Biden’s term was 3.2%
Trying to blame Biden for Trump’s mess is no longer a valid excuse. Trump owns this we are 100 days into this first term and the economy contracted for the first time in years. Under Trump.
“ Trump increased average yearly income for the working class by 4500/year during his first term. Conversely Biden dropped it by 3500/yr – that is what inflation does. ”
Wrong. Real disposable income per capita under Trump’s first term was $48,286.
Real disposable income per capita under Biden was $51,822.
Biden handed Trump a strong economy. Trump in usual fashion is tanking it. Everyone is noticing it including his own base. Polls show they don’t trust him to right this mess he created. Blaming Biden is not going to change reality. Trump has no real deals and no real leverage against the Chinese.
The Chinese are in a much better position to weather the trade war then we are. Keep in mind that the Chinese value saving money over spending. We have attrocious savings rates that will work against us. China has a middle class that is essentially bigger than our entire population, by last count it’s around 400 million and all have the mindset of having substantial savings accounts.
China has the world’s biggest commercial shipping fleet. They can build ships at breakneck speed. We don’t build ships at any rate close to them.
“ ROFL – the EU told China to stuff it. Honestly the claim that the EU can throw China a life line is just stupid.
The EU can not buy more chinese goods, and with few exceptions can not replace goods the US sells to china.
There are exceptions to this – but most are comodities – and the global shifting of commodities negates the impact of China’s tariffs on the US.
The US is the largest market in the world. We also have the highest standard of living of anmy country with over 20M people and a standard of living 35% higher than the EU. Europeans litterally can not afford to buy more from China.”
You seem woefully uninformed about what the EU can and cannot buy. China’s exports to the US is just 15% The EU can switch from US goods to Chinese goods. EU’s standard of living is higher than the US. Not the other way around. Sorry to burst your bubble.
“In the United States nearly 14% of Americans live in poverty – about 40 million people — compared to 6% in France, 8% in Britain, and 5% or less in Germany, Sweden and Belgium. Twenty percent of American children live below the poverty line, as do nearly 23% of the elderly, the highest figure by far in the west with the exceptions of Russia and Mexico. The U.S. is ranked 29th in infant mortality, tied with Poland and Slovakia (in 1960 the U.S. was ranked twelfth) and 37th in health care (France is ranked first). The wealthiest 10 percent of Americans now owns 70 percent of the wealth but in Germany the top 10 percent owns 44 percent.”
Fun fact; China is the EU’s second biggest trade partner. It won’t take much for China to take up more trade if they chose to switch from US goods. Remember, China has an established manufacturing base and can quickly adjust supply compared to the US. They are in a better position to adapt than we are.
While the EU cannot absorb the full amound of goods the US consumes, it can use China’s vast manufacturing capacity to bypass American products which ironically still rely on Chinese made components.
Trump will not succeed with this tariff policy. What he will definitely do is isolate the US and make investment riskier here. China is seen as more stable than as long as Trump is in office.
Dennis.
Did you forget. Prez Trump said there would be some pain in fixing the mess that Biden and dems left him.
Dennis. Enjoy this comment.
Ford CEO Backs President’s Tariffs: “This Is Really Great for the Country”
“Ford CEO Backs President’s Tariffs:”
You’re cherry-picking.
Farley, Ford’s CEO, argued, correctly, that those tariffs are *destructive* to the country:
“[A] 25% tariff across the Mexico and Canada borders would blow a hole in the US industry that we’ve never seen.”
Turley– “The resistance to court orders and hyperbolic rhetoric seems to be wearing thin with members like Chief Justice John Roberts.”
Roberts might be ‘wearing thin’ (who cares?) but he may be approaching his last chance to preserve respect for the American judicial system.
Roberts and the rogues in the lower courts are wearing thin with the administration and the American people.
If it comes to a showdown between Article II and Article III I think the public will back the President. People are getting sick of these tyrannical and obstructive judges.
Recently Trump has apparently hinted at suspending Habeas Corpus and in his 100 days speech he seemed to slight the lower courts while he waited to see what the Supreme Court would do. I thought at the time, “that’s a warning to the justices.” But I wondered if they were smart enough to heed it or even hear it.
Meanwhile, the Left is perfectly happy to ignore the Supreme Court when it suits their ideology. I think it was in Boston where a kid was suspended from school for wearing a shirt saying “there are only two genders.” A district court and the Court of Appeals backed the school. But in the 1969 Tinker decision involving students wearing peace symbols the Court laid down very clearly that expressions like that were protected speech and that students didn’t lose their rights just because they were in school. Then, too, there were the Democrat politicians who urged Biden to just ignore the Supreme Court which apparently his administration did. Evidently there are no laws or court precedents that are superior to leftist ideology in their minds. Professor Ilya Shapiro was right to warn that this Critical Legal Theory threatens the legal system and the country.
The Left set the table. They just couldn’t comprehend that it might be Trump coming to dinner.
“US appeals court will not allow DOGE to access Social Security data”

Article 2, Section 1
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
Judges and Justices can’t read and simply make it up as they go along.
Executive power is vested in a President who presides over Social Security.
Social Security cannot be cited in the Constitution, in the first place, and must have been struck down in the concept phase.
Certainly, the financial industry in the free markets of the private sector provides more than sufficient opportunities for individuals to set up retirement plans.
The Supreme Court is presiding over a wholly unconstitutional Juristocracy, causing America to be communistic by its dereliction, negligence, and failure to fulfill its sworn oath.
The truth is that these corrupt judges are insurrectionists Democrats approve of. SLAPP today is nothing but “Strategic Lawfare Attacking Presidential Powers”
It’s the civil war all over again but no guns , just laws,lawsuits etc. Trump is Abe.
It’s all repulsive, if no one knows. Yapping , yowling mini brains…
Ugh
What kind of moron believes that Trump is competent? First 100 days… retard shitshow. LOL, America’s idio-in-chief actually believes a photoshopped picture of MS13 overlayed on Garcia’s knuckles is real. That’s Trump’s basis for violating the Constitution and due process.
BIDEN WAS COMATOSE FOR 4 YEARS!!
Biden, lol, another Trumptard who blames Biden for everything.
Obama was responsible for many things. China was responsible for Covid – though US agencies were involved.
Biden has taken James Buchannon’s cap as the worst US president ever.
Trump is doing fine – sure he is pissing off a rabid left wing nut fringe, but you can not be made happy
“Trump is doing fine…” only a retard thinks this.
There was a cabinet meeting today that the press was invited to, to review the first 100 days.
While there was lots of self congradulations and back slapping – as you would expect in ANY administrtiion, at the same time EVERY member of the cabinet had 5 minutes to summarize their accomplishments in the past 100 days.
Trump is doing fine – his administration is doing fine.
Only a retard that is blissfully ignorant of the real world would say otherwise.
While there was far move covered and in more detail than Trump’s platform – what he PROMISED voters that he would do if elected,
you can go read agenda 47,
You personally may not like it – and that is fine. But THAT is what voters voted for, and THAT is what trump is being measured by most of the country for doing.
Substantial progress on every item in agenda 47 has been made.
SOME of the impacts are immediate – the flow of illegal immigrants into the country has nearly stopped.
The flow of drugs into the country has been significantly impeded.
All of his has been done WITHOUT new laws, WITHOUT additional money.
Put a different way when democrats said Trump prevented Democrats from securing the border because he would not give them more money – Democrats were LYING.
JUST COMPARING TRUMP TO BIDEN. DF!!
Significant progress has been made on pretty much every item of Agenda 47 – the platform that Trump promised to implement if he got elected
If you were opposed to Trump’s platform you likely aren’t happy with his presidency.
Conversely if you loved the platform and voted for Trump – you are likely very happy.
Shat you call a “retard $hitshow” is a presidnt actually cutting govenrment and making the US and the world safer.
I have no idea if there is a photo of Garcia’s knicle tatttoos that is photoshopped – and YOU are the last person I would beleive.
But whether you like it or not – it has been established that Garcia is a bad dude and an MS13 member, abd he is right where he belongs.
There is no violation of due process – there is very little due process required to send someone HOME.
Please cite any portion of the constitution that has been violated.
“ But whether you like it or not – it has been established that Garcia is a bad dude and an MS13 member, abd he is right where he belongs.”
It has not been established at all. He was not given the opportunity to prove that wrong. That’s why even SCOTUS unanimously agreed he should not have been deported.
“ There is no violation of due process – there is very little due process required to send someone HOME.”
Ignorance is not an argument. There’s plenty of due process rights being violated. There’s more required than just a cursory review.
Trump is not doing good. His poll numbers are underwater and the economy is contracting.
What leverage does Trump have over China?
China is engaging in bilateral trade deals with our former allies. Trump doesn’t have anything to show for his mess. He’s not doing fine.
“It has not been established at all. He was not given the opportunity to prove that wrong.”
He is illegal, which is good enough to throw him out of the country. Additionally, he is a criminal, a gang leader and one who beats his wife. You wish to keep him here. If that happens, he may be placed on house arrest at your home. He can beat your wife instead of you and steal your bread. If you have children, he can make them into part of his gang or kill them with fentanyl. The more I think about it, the more I would like to give you a chance to keep him.
Have you seen the latest news on Garica. Try not to cry when you read it.
Hello, Congress, please do some work on these courts that you set up.
Mike Johnson, the judiciary that Congress established has gone frantically rogue.
Where are you on the now imperative juridical disestablishmentarianism?
For the Left, violating immigration law is no big deal. But if you write a anti-Left message on a statue with lipstick, you can be thrown in jail for 14 years. https://shiftnews.com/article/6SK38EB564VKCR9KCCTKCDHK6SJP2DSQ6SJP8S1NC4TP8DB16HK3MCHG68TJTC1M5MS3G81J64X34E1T6CW3MKJ368?category=News
Turley– “Fights over Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia are burning time and effort. If he was simply returned as ordered by a court, Abrego Garcia could be promptly and correctly deported right back to El Salvador. He has no cognizable basis for remaining in the United States.”
It is “burning time and effort” but it is worth remembering that these disputes are also “burning time and effort” and lots of money for the Bolshevik leftists who have been waging lawfare against Trump for years. Who has more money, the DOJ or the ACLU? Who is burning more emotional capital with the people, DOJ or ACLU types? Who is financing these attacks? How much foreign capital is funding this legal war against what the country voted for?
As for the courts, they have tarnished their reputation for years to come. The judges look more like despicable hacks prepared to make up anything as they go rather than actual wise and fair jurists like Coke.
Absolutely.
Well, they’ve ripped off 37 trillion so it’ll take awhile. By whom we’re the flights to El Salvador paid? Use zoom.
The Bolshevik leftists apparently are working against Nazis such as yourself. Must be frustrating.
The Constitution extirpated the dictatorship of the British monarchy, severely limited and restricted the new American government, and provided maximal freedom to individuals.
Our school system continues to fail to teach Americans the lessons and warning of history. The Colonists and our founders were NOT oppressed by the British monarchy.
They were oppressed by something far more dangerous: a freely elected government, members of which were elected from their peers who voted them into office. The elected majorities in Great Britain’s parliament were the ones who taxed the colonists without providing them with representation as their peers back home in England had. The elected majorities in Great Britain are the same freely elected government that then ordered British military forces to make war on the British colonists in America.
The monarchy didn’t do that – a freely elected government, elected by their peers did that. And their peers back home in England were just fine with that.
But we babble about the British Monarchy, while ignoring what similarly freely elected governments under Obama et al have done and intend to do to us, with not a monarch in sight to blame it on.
History repeating itself… and all we can see is long dead British monarchs who didn’t have anything to do with the tyranny the Colonists faced, other than signing what the elected government put in front of them and told them to sign.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
AI Overview
Yes, the British monarchy held dominion over the Thirteen Colonies in 1776. While the Second Continental Congress declared the colonies’ independence from the British Empire, the British monarch, King George III, continued to hold dominion over the colonies until the American Revolution ended.
Elaboration:
Constitutional Monarchy: In 1776, the British Empire was governed by a constitutional monarchy where both the monarch and Parliament jointly managed the empire.
Royal Authority: The British monarch, King George III, was the head of state and had executive authority, but relied on a cabinet of ministers within Parliament to govern.
Colonial Rule: The Thirteen Colonies were under the rule of the British monarch, with a governor representing the Crown appointed by the monarch.
Declaration of Independence: In July 1776, the Second Continental Congress declared the colonies’ independence, asserting their sovereignty from the British Empire.
Ongoing Conflict: The declaration marked the beginning of the American Revolution, and the British monarchy continued to contest the colonies’ independence until the end of the war in 1783.

Indeed, yes, the Constitution effectively extirpated the dictatorship of the British monarchy, severely limited and restricted the new American government, and provided maximal freedom to individuals.
“AI Overview”
There’s an example of AI relying on American ignorance to support the continuation of American ignorance due to the failure of the public school system.
Let me attempt to help you and AI with some history that AI is apparently unaware of (although I suspect personal bias will result in failure to teach you anything).
The Divine Right Of Kings i.e. the British Monarch being the law of the land, died under the headsman’s axe in the late 1600’s, when the last monarch who attempted to rule over the laws and government of the elected Parliament was executed like a common criminal in a public square, surrounded by the common rabble watching and cheering. No noble execution within the walls of the Tower Of London with only select nobles as witnesses, at the hands of an expert headsman imported to do the deed with a noble sword. Butchered in public with an axe.
That was followed by the English Bill Of Rights – which the survivor of the Royal Family signed in subjugation and agreement with. Which precedes our Constitution which borrows much from it by about a century.
No English monarch, male of female, since the day their ancestor had his head chopped off in public has attempted the slightest act of making laws, making wars, etc. Instead, their purpose since then has been to be the ceremonial Head Of State for the freely elected government. Just as they also were regulated to in other European nations like Holland.
Anybody claiming that it was a dictatorial British Monarchy taxing and making war on the Colonists is a fool doing their very best to ignore history.
Maybe it makes them feel better to claim it was a monarch, rather than a freely elected majority of their peers that did that to the Colonists.
Good thing a freely elected majority government, today, couldn’t do pretty much the same thing to us now! After all, I’m sure AI will confirm we don’t have a Monarch to worry about – although we were quite willing to continue with Monarchs as we offered George Washington the opportunity to be king.
[how weird is it that after the Revolutionary War, the Colonists weren’t as worried about having a king as you are now blaming a king for the oppression the Colonists suffered?]
It’s good to be king.
it is a apparent that Milwaukee County Chief Judge Carl Ashley is very pissed off about the arrest of his colleague former Judge Hannah Dugan, and he is engaged in the usual DNC talking points in stating “we also want to support our community…..We want to be transparent with the community about what we can do and what we can’t”
Their job is to be judges and rule on the laws, not be “social justice activists” and stop Federal officers from doing their jobs.
No mention by Chief Judge Ashley on the victim and their family who were sitting in court, awaiting the hearing as scheduled, to be led by Hannah Dugan re: the alleged crimes committed by the illegal immigrant, and how Dugan robbed them of due process with her illegal maneuver in letting the perpetrator run free. She completely disregarded the victims who were sitting in court the whole time. The community got screwed by virtue signalers Hannah Dugan and Chief Judge Carl Ashley.
An administrative warrant is a warrant that can be effectuated in a public hallway. Uh a judicial warrant has more authority and go into private areas

Is the well-conceived and precise phrase, “pissed off,” the same as livid?
Democrats are the party for criminals.
“They didn’t “leave the border open”. They were following the law and Turley should know that our immigration system is broken. ”
I’m a legal immigrant. As is my wife, who immigrated separately from me. As are about one million other legal immigrants every single year – including during Trumps first four year presidency. We are NOT Democrat Guest Voters who you prefer to call “undocumented immigrants” instead of Illegal Aliens which they are.
This supposed “broken immigration system” works just fine for legal, real immigrants. Who it DOESN’T work for is Democrat politicians desperate to import tens of millions of Illegal Aliens they expect to turn into Democrat voters and flip states Democrat to ultimately permanently own the Electoral College.
And one of the main reasons – which you Democrat culls probably already know – that you prefer to claim the immigration system is “broken” is because your chosen people you want to import could never pass the requirements to legally immigrate here.
First, most of them can’t support themselves – a requirement that legal immigrants must establish to get their initial visa AND THEN KEEP IT.
Second, many of them can’t even pass a criminal background check in their home country, never mind work to support themselves.
Our immigration system isn’t broken – you Democrats and your idea of an America full of Illegal Aliens turned into voters and voting Democrat for life in gratitude for federal taxpayer support for life is what is broken.
Right, anon, but they engage in double talk. Your immigration system is broken (we know because we broke it). Double talk is in parenthesis.
It’s cobwebs and Trump has a dustpan and broom. He may clean it up and when he returns it’ll be worse than it was before.
