Below is my column in the Hill on the continuing confusion over national or universal injunctions. The last week has shown that this chronic injunctivitis must end.Here is the column:
This week, the Supreme Court continued to deliberate over what to do with the growing number of national or universal injunctions issued by federal district courts against the Trump Administration.
The court has long failed to address the problem, and what I have called “chronic injunctivitis” is now raging across the court system. Justices have only worsened the condition with conflicting and at times incomprehensible opinions.
Both Democratic and Republican presidents have long argued that federal judges are out of control in issuing national injunctions that freeze the entire executive branch for years on a given policy. For presidents, you have to effectively sweep the district courts 677-to-0 if you want to be able to carry out controversial measures. Any one judge can halt the entire government.
Under President Barack Obama, Justice Elena Kagan expressed outrage over the injunctions in public comments at Northwestern University School of Law. Kagan lashed out at the obvious “forum shopping” by then conservative advocates to get before favorable courts, insisting “It just cannot be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years it takes to go through the normal [appellate] process.”
In his first term, Trump faced a more than 450 percent increase in the number of such injunctions over the number issued under Obama — a rise from 12 to 64. The number then went down to just 14 under former President Joe Biden. With Trump back in office, district courts have now outstripped that record and may surpass the total from the first term in the first year.
However, when the pending case came up before the Supreme Court on one of the Trump injunctions, Kagan suggested that this was “different,” because Trump was clearly wrong. In oral argument, Kagan snapped at the Solicitor General: “Every court is ruling against you.” It was a curious point coming from a justice who had previously acknowledged that challengers were forum-shopping by going to favorable judges, as with the current cases coming out of largely blue states.
Kagan did not explain where the line should be drawn, leading to speculation on when something would be viewed as “just sorta wrong” or “really, really wrong.”
This week, the Supreme Court enjoined the Maine House of Representatives from denying State Representative Laurel Libby her right to speak and vote on the floor. In an outrageous action, the Democratic majority had effectively taken Libby’s constituents hostage by telling her that, unless she apologized for identifying a transgender athlete in public comments, she could not vote. The Supreme Court voted 7-2 to lift the ban, with Kagan joining the more conservative justices.
However, in her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson (who has favored the injunctions in the Trump cases) stressed that there was no need for an injunction here because there were no “significant legislative votes scheduled in the upcoming weeks” or where Libby’s lack of a vote would “impact the outcome.”
It again left many scratching their heads on what Jackson would consider a “significant vote.” Moreover, thousands of Maine residents have been denied representation on the state House floor. That would seem significant even if the justice did not find certain bills to be sufficiently weighty.
These different approaches only deepen the uncertainly over the standards for lower courts.
Just in case the Supreme Court doubted the need for greater clarity on the use of these injunctions, Boston District Judge Myong J. Joun, perfected the record this week.
The Biden appointee had just been reversed by the Supreme Court last month when he issued a temporary restraining order for the Trump Administration to pay out frozen grants worth more than $65 million. The administration had raised questions about the basis for the grants and ordered a review.
Usually, a temporary order freezes the parties from changing the status quo to allow for review. It is difficult to appeal such an order, and the parties generally wait for a couple of weeks to seek review after the court issues a preliminary injunction.
But Judge Joun wanted to use the temporary restraining order to force the payments to happen, changing the status quo permanently. This did not seem like temporary relief, since money is not likely to come back after it is paid out.
This week, Joun was back with another injunction. This time he enjoined an effort of Education Secretary Linda McMahon to initiate a reduction-in-force and prepare for the potential elimination of the Department of Education.
Despite the false claims that Trump’s underlying executive order actually shut down the department, it stated that McMahon should, “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education.”
While Joun admits that this was not a department shutdown, he still enjoined these efforts in an 88-page decision full of sweeping, dramatic language that sounds more like a policy paper than a restrained judicial order.
The court simply declared that even a reduction in force would make it “effectively impossible for the department to carry out its statutorily mandated functions.”
Many on the left again celebrated a judge effectively micromanaging the executive branch. Michael Mann, a climate professor and senior administrator at the University of Pennsylvania, even seemed to add a threat — that “If Trump doesn’t comply, we’re in second amendment territory.”
Insurrection aside, it is clearly time for the Supreme Court to do something about this.
Despite a majority of justices harrumphing for years about these injunctions, lower court judges continue to issue them with abandon. In the meantime, presidents like Trump are looking at two years of litigation before they can make meaningful changes, including downsizing the government.
For the Supreme Court, it has become madness as emergency motions pile up every morning after executive programs are frozen overnight.
The solution to chronic injunctivitis is simple: You give district judges a dose of clarity and tell them not to call you in the morning.

Generally it is approaching consensus that the reputation of the judiciary has eroded frightfully and that the unthinkable–a president ignoring a court–is no longer unthinkable and, given the rabid TDS displayed by the courts, may even be a good thing.
The judges, like the Democrats, are set on choosing the lower end of 80/20 issues and seem oblivious of the winds and storms rising against them.
I suppose they are lauded at their cocktail parties but they really should look out the window occasionally.
Same old strategy of overwhelm a system. RICO
Stephen Miller exposes how the judiciary is making itself more abhorrent with almost every decision it makes or–in the case of Roberts on the Court–the failure to make a decision.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/stephen-miller-goes-biden-judge-who-ordered-plane
Watching the Roberts judiciary collapse is like watching the Twin Towers come down again.
It is a national tragedy.
It likely will not recover within the lifetimes of many witnessing it.
Instead of entering court with reverence for the law many will argue cases with cynicism for the person of the judge. What’s in this for his pocket or ideology? Is he working for the return of the Democrat Cartel and an appointment to the court of Appeals or even the Supreme Court? Who knows?
You make great points. I would add that what we are seeing on some of our campuses is at the root of these warped points of view taken by some the judges.
Many universities are propaganda machines.
EM,
Yes, I agree. Professor Ilya Shapiro has a recent book, LAWLESS, about the infection reaching law schools with Critical Legal Theory and he is concerned that lawyers and, worse, judges infused with that lawless approach to the legal system will greatly harm the country. I think we can see his prediction already in play. The Critical theories in law and race originated with the Frankfurt school and are openly Marxist at their roots.
The Law, as represented by the Judiciary, no longer represents Justice and the will of the People. It’s a joke, deserving neither respect nor obedience.
Trump’s not perfect, but man , I love high gets under liberal left fingernails.
Jonathan, it seems to me that the weakness in President Trump’s current domestic activities is that he does not take the time to establish regs, or even emergency regs, as a support for compliance action. For example, why not establish a reg with an emergency reg to define how all universities and colleges should assure the safety and rights of Jewish students. Then a Harvard or other school is sanctioned based on failure to meet the reg established requirements. If you agree, consider advocating for this.
DF Shaw – those laws already exist in the case of Harvard.
While there are likely a plethora of other laws and regulation
Harvard – and many Universities and ever states are violating the 14th amendment, the Civil Rights act and Title 9
Good luck. Obama and the modern left (likely by design) have left a stain on this country that will take generations to fix, and that’s assuming those generations have the will to do it. This does not appear to be the case. 🤷🏽♂️
# personally, I can’t say what vision the democrats have. No borders so north america fuses with Mexico? Is that one? No citizens so no voting? Is that two? A central committee chooses leaders who just tax registered people? That’s three? It’s best then to be undocumented? Nuke Israel? That’s four?
What is the vision?
^^^ I really think they think it’s just print money and spend it. That’s the vision.
* personally, I don’t believe any of it except the criminal portions.
The controllers don’t care at all as long as they have you segregated. What great show it’s been.

Or worse
In the quaint town of Wilmington, where gossip traveled faster than the speed of light, lived a woman named Jill, who had a plan. Her husband, Joe, had been diagnosed with dementia before becoming President of the US, and while most would see this as a tragedy, Jill saw it as an opportunity—a golden ticket to wealth and power.
Jill was not your average spouse. She was a master manipulator, a cunning strategist, and, above all, a woman with a vision. With Joe’s condition, she concocted a scheme so elaborate that it would make even the most seasoned con artist like Hillary Clinton blush. Barack Obama liked Jill….alot. He knew he could run her Machiavellian plans
First, she began by “misplacing” Joe’s prized possessions. The vintage car? Gone. The family heirlooms? Sold at a yard sale for a fraction of their worth. “Oh, Joe, you must have forgotten!” she would say sweetly, as he scratched his head in confusion. Little did he know, Jill was pocketing the cash and investing it in her own ventures—like a luxury spa for dogs, because, of course, that was the next big thing.
Next, Jill decided to “help” Joe with his finances. She set up a series of “trust funds” that were, in reality, just her personal bank accounts. “Don’t worry, darling, I’m taking care of everything!” she chirped, as she transferred funds faster than her step-son snorting cocaine off of the thigh of his dead brother’s widow wife. The townsfolk marveled at her dedication, completely oblivious to her true intentions. They didnt mind Hunter’s crack pipe shenanigans because he brought them money and media attention.
As Joe’s condition worsened, Jill’s ambitions soared. She began hosting lavish crack parties, claiming they were for “awareness” of dementia. In reality, they were networking events where she passed Hunter’s crack pipe, rubbed elbows with the elite, and enabled Hunter’s “artistic painting skills”. “Oh, Joe, you’re such a wonderful host!” she would exclaim, while he sat in the corner, blissfully unaware of the power plays happening around him.
With each passing day, Jill’s empire grew. She launched a line of “Dementia-Friendly” products, which were nothing more than overpriced trinkets marketed to China, Ukraine and DNC/MSM cultists. “Look, Joe! This puzzle is perfect for you!” she would say, as she raked in profits while he struggled to remember how to put the pieces together.
But Jill’s pièce de résistance came when she decided to run for President knowing her husband was in decline. “I’m doing this for Joe!” she proclaimed, tears glistening in her eyes. The DNC/MSM touched by her “selflessness,” rallied behind her. Little did they know, her campaign was funded by the very money Hunter had siphoned from his father’s “pay to play” Ukraine-China connections
On election night, as Jill stood on stage, victorious, she glanced at Joe, who was blissfully munching on a cupcake, completely unaware of the political storm brewing around him. “Thank you, my love,” she whispered, “for making all of this possible.”
As she took her place in the White House west wing office, Jill couldn’t help but chuckle. She had turned her husband’s dementia into a goldmine, all while maintaining the façade of a devoted wife. In the end, she had achieved her dreams of wealth and power, proving that sometimes, the greatest tragedies can lead to the most outrageous triumphs.
And so, in the town of Wilmington, Jill became a legend—a cautionary tale of ambition, manipulation, and the lengths one might go to in the pursuit of success, all while wearing the mask of a loving spouse.
And the DNC and MSM lived happily ever after inside Alcatraz prison side Trump reopened it just for people like Jill and Joe Biden
Just curious — was this entirely your own creation, or did you use any tools (digital or otherwise) to help shape it? No assumptions at all — just struck me because the effort seems substantial, even if the length might outweigh the typical impact in a comment thread. A tighter version — maybe a couple of sharp paragraphs — might land even better. That said, it’s a creative approach, and I’d be genuinely interested to see someone on the other side of the aisle use these same tools, whether human or AI, to craft a counterpoint.
Obama’s Memorial Day message:
On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.
Biden’s Memorial Day message:
On Memorial Day, let us pause to remember and honor the brave women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live our lives in peace and possibility. Today we also honor the families they left behind whose hearts still carry the weight of absence.
Clinton Memorial Day message:
From our founding, the precious freedoms Americans enjoy have always been safeguarded by our armed forces, so many of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Today and every day we remember their courage and honor their memory.
Trump Memorial Day message:
“HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE,THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL.
GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
If this does not make you realize that Trump is deeply and profoundly mentally ill, then you yourself are equally profoundly mentally ill.
Yawn grow up child
In what has become a Memorial Day tradition for him, on Monday Donald J. Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Podiatrist.
Trump made his annual pilgrimage to pay homage to the heroic doctors who issued bogus diagnoses to ensure that their privileged patients never answered the call of duty.
In an emotional tribute, Trump thanked the fallen foot specialists who bravely risked their medical licenses so that others facing military service could be free.
Choking back tears, he said, “They gave everything so people like me could give nothing.”
President Donald Trump was seen limping during the Memorial Day ceremony.
When questioned by reporters he answered that his bone spurs were giving him trouble again.
Please tell us the doctor who gave Trump the waiver.
Dr. Larry Braunstein, who operated Hillside Foot Care in Queens NY.
The address was 178-09 Hillside Avenue.
He rented the office from Trump’s father, who owned the building.
The Braunstein family are on record that Dr. Braunstein wrote the letter as a favor to his landlord, Trump’s father, without ever examining Trump.
WRONG,,,, As someone who served in medical. (ONLY) a military doctor can give a waiver.
You lose….
Typical lib losers.
Dustoff
I’m having a little trouble understanding the point you are trying to make here.
I never said that Trump’s doctor GAVE him the waiver.
I never even SAID anything about the waiver.
You are the one who brought up the waiver.
Trump himself admits that he got a letter from a doctor about his heels in order to avoid the draft.
“While Trump’s explanations for why he deferred the draft have varied — sometimes it’s a lucky lottery number, sometimes it’s a health problem despite his “astonishingly excellent” health — the Republican nominee assured The New York Times that it was, indeed, due to heel spurs. “I had a doctor that gave me a letter — a very strong letter on the heels,” Trump said, though he never ended up providing that letter to the Times and could not remember the name of the doctor who had written it.”
https://theweek.com/speedreads/640446/donald-trumps-confusing-explanation-how-avoided-vietnam-draft
While it is true that a civilian doctor cannot GRANT a waiver, it was common for draftees to submit their civilian medical records to the Selective Service in support of a claim for exemption.
Only the Selective Service can actually grant a waiver.
However they gave deference to medical records from a doctor. The medical records are presumed to be correct, because the doctor would face loss of his license and criminal consequences if he provided falsified records.
Generally, when a draftee presented medical records from a licensed doctor, the Selective Service would then grant the waiver.
Again, I struggle to understand the point you are trying to make.
It seems that you think the story about Trump getting a waiver because of bone spurs must be false because a civilian doctor cannot grant a waiver.
That is a completely illogical conclusion.
There is no dispute that Trump got a waiver.
Trump himself has admitted he got a letter from a doctor saying he had bone spurs.
The waiver was clearly granted by the Selective Service.
It is not clear if any military doctors examined Trump. If they did, then all he had to do was jump up and express pain when the doctor pressed on his heels. In light of his medical records of bone spurs, which are presumed to be true, the military doctor would agree that he had bone spurs.
You seem to take delight in making a stupid point about who actually granted the waiver, while disregarding the clear evidence that Trump faked bone spurs.
You seem to think that having made your stupid irrelevant point that this must disprove the allegations that Trump faked his bone spurs.
Apparently this is what passes for logic in the MAGA cult.
You’ve elevated disassembling to an art form.
You do understand that this nonsense lost all meaning on July 13 2024 in Butler PA ?
Sorry to break your little heart. The medical doctor for the service makes the rules on if they will take you or not.
The paper you posted is pure BS.
If the doctor say no, that’s it. I remember the big lie years ago it was Trumps father who pulled the strings, but as usual the MSN offered no proof. Just more lies like we have seen since Trump entered the race for the office. Can you say Russia, Russia or a deal with an unknown bank.
Plus all medical records are part of the government and we are not privily to them.
Next thing you’ll tell me Trump had (3) purple hearts, yet never saw a single day in the hospital.
From “USA Today”, citing the New York Times: “WASHINGTON – Two daughters of a New York podiatrist say that 50 years ago their father diagnosed President Donald Trump with bone spurs in his heels as a favor to the doctor’s landlord, Fred Trump, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
Trump received five deferments from the draft for military service during the Vietnam War. He received four education deferments while he was a college student and a fifth deferment in 1968 for a medical exemption after he graduated.
Larry Braunstein, who died in 2007, rented a ground floor office in a building owned by Trump in Jamaica, Queens. His daughters, Elysa Braunstein, 56, and Sharon Kessel, 53, told the Times that their father’s role in Trump’s diagnosis had become “family lore.”
“It was something we would always discuss,” Elysa Braunstein told the Times. She and her sister are both Democrats who oppose Trump, according to the newspaper.
Elysa Braunstein said their father made the diagnosis to gain access to the landlord and that she didn’t know if her father even examined the junior Trump.
“I know it was a favor,” Elysa Braunstein said.
“What he got was access to Fred Trump,” she told the Times. “If there was anything wrong in the building, my dad would call and Trump would take care of it immediately. That was the small favor that he got.””
Now, if Trump hadn’t made the medical portion of his Selective Service records disappear, we could review the file and determine whether the letters are there, as the daughters claim.
giggles gigi, just go away with your asinine arguments, always.
“Sorry to break your little heart. The medical doctor for the service makes the rules on if they will take you or not.”
Don’t be sorry – just tell us the names of the doctors that got Biden two more deferments than Trump has – for childhood asthma.
Right after he lost his student deferment… playing college varsity football during his pathetically mediocre scholarship.
Next thing you’ll tell us that The Oval Office House Plant is NEVER going to pardon his son. AND… he never once met nor spoke with any of his felon son’s customers from Communist China and Putiin.
Thanks, Anonymous: Somehow, mysteriously, the part of Trump’s Selective Service file containing medical information has magically disappeared. Sort of like Trump’s school records–he threatened prison time if his academic records were ever disclosed. And, we’re still waiting on the tax returns that we’ll never see.
Is that different from nobody being able to see Bolshevik Barack’s academic records?
Or The Oval Office House Plant getting a “childhood asthma” deferment immediately after losing his student deferment – playing college football during his years of pathetic academic performance while in college?
Does it tell the whole story that Biden having two more deferments than Trump doesn’t bother you?
Doesn’t bother you how Biden magically became a multi-millionaire from payments to Vice President Ten Percent from the ChiComs and Putin bankers?
Doesn’t bother you that Bolshevik Barack ignored the DOZENS of Suspicious Activity Reports regarding Biden Bribes, filed by banks worried about being held culpable for money laundering bribes?
Of course it doesn’t.
You do understand that this nonsense lost all meaning on July 13 2024 in Butler PA ?
“Dr. Larry Braunstein, who operated Hillside Foot Care in Queens NY.”
Medical expert that you are, give us the name of the doctor that gave future Vice President Bribery Biden his draft deferments for childhood asthma – immediately after he lost his student deferment during which he played on the college varsity football team?
Surely you have that name as well????
You do understand that this nonsense lost all meaning on July 13 2024 in Butler PA ?
What are the odds of being sent to vietnam and dying ? Approximately 20:1
What are the odds of surviving a hail of bullets fired from 100 yds most passing within feet, and one striking your head ? about 1 in 100 ?
How many presidents have survived 2 assassination attempts ?
How many presidents have been shot and survived ?
How many presidents have been shot in the head and survived ?
Clinton did not go to vietnam, Bush did not go to vietnam, Obama did not go to vietnam, Biden did not go to vietnam.
No one tried to assassinate any of them either.
Let go of the bone spur nonsense. Only an idiot today questions Trump’s physical bravery.
You want to talk about Presidents and their doctors? Hmmm… weird how you supported Bribery Biden for 12 years and now bring that up!
What was the Memorial Day tradition for The Oval Office House Plant? Who, before his current docs assured us he was mentally sharp, his former doctors in the 1960s assured medical review boards that Bribery Joe was suffering from childhood asthma… right after finishing playing football on a varsity football team!
Two more deferments than the Trump deferments that outrage you so much… but you never noticed that????
Seems like a commie Democrat is on the loose again.
dear ‘Anonymous’ form the Darkside… As Usual.. you present things upside down thru your raging TDS, which is really the only ‘mental illness’ that jumps out here………. …as it is Clear No. 47 is functioning on behalf of the American people enough to write his own message and not just doctor up a typical ‘BS’ greeting card message…..! ….when will you ever learn………………….
So you think Trump’s message was a perfectly rational message to send out on a day where we honor the fallen heroes who have safeguarded this country.
You describe the messages from Obama, Biden and Clinton as “typical B.S. greeting card messages.”
That is all I need to know about you.
You are as insane and mentally disturbed as Trump.
Judge people by their deeds — not their rhetoric.
If speeches paved roads, they’d shimmer with gold.
But take a closer look — what’s underfoot isn’t exactly glittering.
“So you think Trump’s message was a perfectly rational message to send out on a day where we honor the fallen heroes who have safeguarded this country.”
Yes, Trump told those graduating from West Point what they are fighting for, and what they are fighting against.
“You describe the messages from Obama, Biden and Clinton as “typical B.S. greeting card messages.””
Why should anyone care what Obama Biden and Clinton said ? Or even what Trump said ?
We know what each of them have done.
So democrats have silver tongues.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but wae was in his heart
his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
They can lie and cast a spell with their silver tongues.
Psalms
No one would access Trump of being a silver tongued devil.
Those of you on the left hate him specifically because he isn’t.
Because he says what he means, and means what he says,
Because he does what he promises.
rational people understand Trump is to be taken seriously but not litterally.
“That is all I need to know about you.”
Why should anyone care what you think about them ?
“You are as insane and mentally disturbed as Trump.”
Probably true – given that Trump is neither insane nor mentally disturbed that would be a compliment.
Why are you here?
If you do not want to be called scum – quit behaving like scum.
Regardless, you cites several abysmal democrat presidents and make it clear that their rhetorical skills significantly exceeded their competence.
Trump was elected – Three times – because he is NOT Clinton, Biden or Obama.
Because the country does not want liars who sell us out.
So impressive! Given your personal expertise on being deeply and profoundly mentally ill… how is it that you somehow or other missed the four years when The Oval Office House Plant played as president?
Let us guess: “President Biden is sharp as a tack! Working his young staffers to exhaustion every day!”

“The Justices Must At Long Last Deal with Chronic Injunctivitis”
– Professor Turley
_____________________
The Justices must at long last deal with much more than simple chronic injunctivitis.
They must deal with the entire antithetical and illicit dictatorial, redistributive, socially engineered state that has imposed Karl Marx’s “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.”
For crying out loud, without legal basis or constitutional citation, they give Medicaid to criminal illegal alien foreigners.
In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court of 1803 found a provision of the Judiciary Act of 1789 to be unconstitutional.
In Dred Scott v. Sandford, the Supreme Court of 1857 found the Missouri Compromise of 1820 to be unconstitutional.
In Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court of 2022 found Roe v. Wade to be unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court must have found unconstitutional all legislation that led to the current communist American welfare state.
Clearly, Social Security and Medicare, the two colossal offenders, cannot be taxed for, funded, or regulated per Article 1, Section 8.
The same Article and the absolute 5th Amendment right to private property apply to the balance of laws and programs that impose the wholly unconstitutional principles of communism—Central Planning, Control of the Means of Production, Redistribution of Wealth, and Social Engineering—including unconstitutional plans for compulsory items like electric vehicles, light bulbs, and solar panels; unconstitutional regulation of free enterprises, free markets, and free industries; financial assistance, aka charity; and affirmative action, quotas, and forced busing.
Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto 59 years after the adoption of the Constitution because none of the principles of the Communist Manifesto were in the Constitution. Had the principles of the Communist Manifesto been in the Constitution, Karl Marx would have had no reason to write the Communist Manifesto. The principles of the Communist Manifesto were not in the Constitution then, and the principles of the Communist Manifesto are not in the Constitution now.
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
Marx was an abused child and drug addict. The combination is common.
So why did America begin following that idiot in 1860, increasing the hold of communism to the current comprehensive state; why was Lincoln commended and congratulated by Karl Marx, who had recently been published in 1848?
Fellow travelers?
Why was Hillary Clinton praised and endorsed by the head of the KKK while she was running against Trump? Just as they praised Woodrow Wilson and FDR before Clinton?
Must be fellow travellers!
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
The singular and completely abject American failure is the unwillingness to exterminate the racist, communist totalitarians of the Democratic Party. Despite Wilson, FDR, Obama, and Biden over the last century… Americans have still not learned that lesson and wiped out these vermin.
‘However, when the pending case came up before the Supreme Court on one of the Trump injunctions, Kagan suggested that this was “different”.’ How many times have you heard the radical left squeal that mantra, whenever their abject hypocrisy is pointed out? It is the Gods honest truth that the left really does preach constantly that “there are laws for thee, but not for me”.
I see little majesty in the recent muddled reasoning of the highest court in the land. It doesn’t seem hopeless. But it is extremely frustration.

One partial solution to dealing with the madness of universal District Court injunctions would be for Appellate Court judges and attorneys to work overtime. Rather than a 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM schedule (with an hour lunch break), maybe a 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM workday with a half-hour lunch break would help to move things along. After all, if these are such pressing judicial issues, why should the entire judiciary not be required to expedite these matters?
“Every court is ruling against you”
– Elena Kagan
310 lawsuits against Trump’s administration. Even Kagan is seeing the tilting of Federal District Judges to 86 47.
Kagan Clashes With Trump Lawyer Over Citizenship Case
Kagan Questions Injunction Powers
Beyond citizenship, the case is a showdown over the power of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions. These legal sledgehammers have stopped Trump’s policies in their tracks, and Kagan pressed Sauer on how to end this judicial power grab. It’s a fair question: When did district judges become emperors?
Kagan didn’t stop there. “This is not a hypothetical—this is happening out there,” she told Sauer, pointing to the real-world chaos of universal injunctions. Her words cut through the legalese, but they also highlight the left’s love affair with activist judges who block MAGA moves at every turn.
The Supreme Court’s decision could reshape how executive actions are challenged. With over 310 lawsuits targeting Trump’s second presidency, according to Fox News, the stakes are sky-high. If the court curbs these injunctions, it could give Trump’s agenda some breathing room—finally.
Over 310 lawsuits since January 20 prove Trump’s second term is under siege. The judiciary’s obsession with blocking his every move smells like politics, not justice. Actions have consequences, and the courts seem hell-bent on teaching Trump that lesson.

By the way, many moons ago and pilot for Boring rolled a 707 in a non G roll in from of the customers. . B-1 can do the same….
In related news:
The luxury 747 gifted by Qatar to Donald J. Trump was totaled after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth drove it into a tree, the Pentagon has confirmed.
According to witnesses, Hegseth decided to give the plane a test drive after discovering it in the Pentagon parking lot with the keys in the ignition.
Soon, the jumbo jet was spotted doing wild figure 8’s before veering off the lot and into the nearby woods, where it collided with a massive oak.
The regrettable incident was only the latest setback for Hegseth, who earlier this week was ordered to change his Pentagon password from JohnnieWalker750ml.
The B-2 is the billion dollar bomber, not the Bone.
Why ? A B1B is not a christmas ornament, It is a weapon of war.
US military pilots get 2-3 times the flight training of pilots anywhere else in the world.
We spend a great deal of money and risk billion dollar weapons to assure that when the time comes to use them they will be deliver the maximum bang for the buck.
We also spend a great deal of money showing what our pilots and their weapons are capable of,
so that other nations will not push us into demonstrating that in a war.
Trump wished a “happy Memorial Day to all,” including the “scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country through warped radical left minds, who allowed 21,000,000 million people to illegally enter our country, many of them being criminals and the mentally insane, through an open border that only an incompetent president would approve.”
Poor. baby, Couldn’t end the Ukraine war on day one so he acts like a baby and says everyone else in the world is a sleezebag. No, the sleeve bag is you DJT.
Quite a few of those 21,000,000 people entered the US when you were President, so you are also personally responsible.
End the way on day 1? My ASS.
what a moron you are, snowflake
You think billionaire draft dodger president bone spurs will take the occasion to honor veteran war hero and POW John McCain?
PissOnU must have dementia, Biden is no longer President. DJT is. and he is the one that has called veterans who are wounded or died in combat losers. Yes, the Current President of the United States in on record as calling wounded veterans Losers.
Source and link please to the an authenticated transcript or audio/video recording?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
You might review John McCain’s career including the fire on the aircraft carrier and “The 4 Other Times John McCain Cheated Death” per Military.com.

Why should he. Buy the way Mc Cain has left us.
PS………… do you know how the military does a medical so you can be dropped from draft?
Think hard and Goggle before you comment
Still waiting (Pushmi Pullyu)
Need a hint?
Go ask your doc if he can give you a waiver from the draft.
“You think billionaire draft dodger president bone spurs will take the occasion to honor veteran war hero and POW John McCain?”
I’m trying to believe you actually care about draft dodgers after TWELVE YEARS of supporting Starting Linebacker Childhood Asthma Biden – the one who had TWO MORE deferments than Trump.
BTW, you missed the part where Trump allowed Airforce One to be used to honor McCain by flying his body home after he died?
Is that you Jill? Shouldn’t you be changing Biden’s diaper?
Why can’t you accept Biden is no longer President? DJT is, and he is the one that runs his mouth like a Pre Kindergatner. Why does every occasion have to be one to denigrate anyone you disagree with? Can you take just one day, a day to honor those killed in combat, and leave your perceived enemies alone? No, DJT is incapable of acting like an adult.
So Is this the reason you deflect?
Is the you Joe Biden. Call jill
ANON is incapable of acting like an adult. Give it a rest Anon. Check yourself in for help; in the future you might not have a choice!
ATS you have been denigrating Trump and the 515% of the country that approves of him.
Trump is entitled to slap back.
Atleast half the country knows it is you that are the dangerous incompetent totalitarians.
“Why can’t you accept Biden is no longer President?”
Why do you think there’s still a hope you can win the 2024 election by repeating the same old lies? Why do you have to attempt to denigrate Trump just as Bribery Biden did with the same old lies?
With the exception of any mention of draft deferments, unlike you: probably because Biden had two more deferments than Trump did.
Meanwhile, your idea of honoring the military is to make them take “Systemic racism” courses and forcing them to take courses on how men can actually menstruate.
Of course, you can also boot them out of the military as Biden did, because they refused an experimental vaccine.
That’s Democrat “honoring” for you!~
