Federal Judge Rules Against Trump on Use of “Invasion” Powers to Expedite Deportations

In Washington, D.C., District Court Judge Randolph Moss has issued a notable decision against the Trump Administration in Refugee and Immigrant Center for Legal and Educational Services v. Noem. Judge Moss rejected the use of Trump’s January 20 “invasion” executive proclamation to block undocumented immigrants from pursuing asylum applications and other legal pathways. The court essentially rules that the Guarantee Clause of Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution is something of a paper tiger, finding that states are protected from “invasion,” but affording the President no additional powers to carry out that guarantee.

We have previously discussed the Guarantee Clause and efforts of states to claim an invasion to allow them to cross the border during the Biden Administration when millions were allowed to enter the country.

The clause states that “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.” Notably, Judge Moss does not resolve the question of what constitutes an invasion because he finds that it does not matter: the clause is more rhetorical and actual in terms of authority. It does not afford President Trump any additional power to negate or supplant federal laws:

For the reasons that follow, the Court concludes that neither the INA [statute] nor the Constitution grants the President or the Agency Defendants authority to replace the comprehensive rules and procedures set forth in the INA and the governing regulations with an extra-statutory, extra-regulatory regime for repatriating or removing individuals from the United States, without an opportunity to apply for asylum or withholding of removal and without complying with the regulations governing CAT protection…[T]he INA, by its terms, provides the sole and exclusive means for removing people already present in the country, and, as the Department of Justice correctly concluded less than nine months ago, neither § 1182(f) nor § 1185(a) provides the President with the unilateral authority to limit the rights of aliens present in the United States to apply for asylum.

Defendants’ reliance on the Constitution’s guarantee that the “United States . . . shall protect each [state] against Invasion,” U.S. Const., art. IV, § 4 (the “Invasion Clause”), fails for the same reasons. Defendants themselves place little or no independent reliance on the Invasion Clause and, instead, merely suggest that the President plays some role in protecting the States “against Invasion….” even assuming that is correct, Defendants do not dispute that Congress plays the primary role in crafting the governing rules and that, under the Youngstown framework, see Youngstown, 343 U.S. at 637–38 (Jackson, J., concurring), the President may not act in derogation of the laws that Congress has enacted. Although relevant precedent is sparse, the Supreme Court has opined that the responsibility for “carry[ing] into effect” the Guarantee Clause “is primarily a legislative power,” Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700, 701 (1868), overruled on other grounds by Morgan v. United States, 113 U.S. 476 (1885), and that it “rest[s] with Congress . . . to determine . . . the means proper to be adopted to fulfill th[e] guarantee” against “domestic violence,” Luther v. Borden, 48 U.S. 1, 43 (1849). There is no reason to believe that the Invasion Clause, which appears in the very same sentence of Article IV as these provisions, allocates responsibility any differently. That conclusion finds further support in Article I of the Constitution, moreover, which grants Congress the power to “provide for calling forth the Militia to . . . repel Invasions,” U.S. Const., art. I, § 8, cl. 15, leaving little doubt that responsibility under the Invasion Clause is, at the very least, shared between the political branches. Finally, it is far from clear that the Invasion Clause confers any power to act that is not found elsewhere in Articles I and II of the Constitution. Unlike Article IV, Section 4, which speaks in terms of the responsibility of “[t]he United States” to protect the States, Articles I and II speak in terms of the “Power[s]” vested in the Congress and the President to perform their constitutional responsibilities…. If the President lacks authority under the Vesting Clause of Article II to supplant the INA with an alternative set of immigration laws, that power cannot be found in Article IV, Section 4.

This is a matter of first impression for the courts and there are good-faith arguments on both sides. The court is saying that Article IV, Section 4 does not vest any additional powers that the President does not have under Article II. The question, however, is whether that effectively makes the Guarantee Clause superfluous and meaningless in terms of actual authority to repel an invasion.

There is also the separate issue of Judge Moss’s own authority in issuing relief. The ruling runs against the grain after the Supreme Court’s recent ruling against national or universal injunctions in Trump v. CASA. The relief here is sweeping. The Court did allow for universal injunctions in national class action cases.

The court narrowly construes the injunction issue under this particular law. It acknowledges that it cannot, under prior precedent, issue class-wide injunctive relief. However, it finds the equivalent in reframing the relief:

“the Court is persuaded that it lacks authority to issue a class-wide injunction requiring the Agency Defendants to comply with § 1231(b)(3), and the Court, accordingly, will not do so. But that does not mean that the Court must deny the principal injunctive relief that Plaintiffs seek—that is, an order precluding the Agency Defendants from implementing the Proclamation. Among other things, as noted above, the Proclamation expressly refers to asylum, but it says nothing about withholding of removal, and although the Proclamation purports to suspend “access to provisions of the INA that would permit continued presence in the United States,” Proclamation, §§ 2–3, withholding of removal does not permit aliens to remain in the United States—it merely specifies to where an alien may be removed.”

This will now proceed on appeal and ultimately could reach the Supreme Court. There is another invasion case pending in the Fifth Circuit that concerns the President’s authority under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA).

  1. It is truly a sad indication of the mental sickness of progressives that they would rather endanger legal citizens by thwarting ICE just to spite Trump because of their lethal TDS. This will not end as the progs see that a majority of legal citizens are now on to their 60+ year grift on the taxpayer.

  2. Jonathan: DJT continues to lose in the courts. No big surprise. He has lost 93% of his cases. Numbers don’t lie. Speaking of numbers. Did you see what happened at Fox News yesterday where you work? Fox Business Host Maria Bartiromo was waiting for the June job numbers. She said “the expectations call for the ADP numbers to be up 95,000 for the month of June”. Suddenly, Maria saw the numbers and her eyes widened: “Right now we’re seeing the number actually, uh, show a decline in jobs, uh, down 33,000 in ADP”. Woops! Maria quickly changed subjects.

    It was a disconcerting moment for Fox News that had been pushing the DJT false narrative that the “economy is booming”. The ADP numbers don’t lie. The loss of jobs was predicted by economists due to DJT’s insane tariffs and his deportations. DATA POINT: During Biden’s 4 yrs the economy added 16.6 million more jobs. In 2024, 2.23 million jobs were added, including 256,000 in the final month of Biden’s presidency.

    And the news gets worse for DJT. The US dollar has fallen at the fastest clip since 1973. This comes as DJT continues to tell us that his tariffs would strengthen the dollar. On a practical level if you are planning a trip to Europe this summer you dollar will be worth less than other currencies. And foreigners are no longer buying US financial instruments like they used to. So DJT’s protectionist trade policies are having a cascading negative impact on the US economy. One hedge fund manager call this “a doom loop”.

    As a result of all this DJT’s poll number continue to tank. He is underwater in every category. On immigration, that was DJT’s strong suit, a new Yahoo/YouGov poll shows his approval rating has fallen to only 44%. Fifty-one percent of Americans say DJT and Steven Miller’s draconian ICE raids have gone too far. The Q is whether DJT will respond to the polls and change his policies? Probably not. Dictators don’t pay attention to popular opinion!

    1. Why don’t you stick to the issue at hand instead of using this as a platform to air your dislike of DJT?

    2. Hey loser, go away and get your own blog. Nobody here cares what you think. Why are you so sick in the head that you keep posting this kind of garbage here?

      1. I am certain that he is paid by the word and that sustains his cheetos and rvaping addictions.

        1. What’s really astounding is that Trump specifically and the right in general have had a terrific run of good judicial decisions lately. When you start with an obvious lie like “Dennis” does, it does tend to spoil the rest of the rant.

    3. My vote is you keep whining and lying, Dennis.

      We love watching you eat shit and cry about how bad it tastes.

    4. Loving how loser Dennis here refers to polls from outfits that monumentally failed to predict correctly the outcome of the last election. He just cherry picks the biased polls that he wants to believe. Keep going though, Dennis, ride that bomb right into the ground. I bet you truly believed that Harris was going to win in a landslide.

    5. “The loss of jobs . . .”

      In June, the economy *added* some 147,000 jobs.

      Care to explain how you translated “add” to “loss”?

    6. Thanks, D. Las Vegas reports that 30% of its customers are Canadian, and, thanks to Trump’s insults, threats to try to turn Canada into a state and his tariffs, Canadians are no longer flocking to Las Vegas. Also, those states in the northern tier, which also traded freely with Canada and which welcomed Canadian tourists and visitors, are also seeing Canadians staying away. I’m glad I don’t have any foreign travel scheduled because Americans are not as welcome as we used to be and the dollar is sliding in value. Then, there’s the real and present risk of some Iranian or other Middle Easterner harming you because of Trump.

      1. Oh how cute, we’re using nicknames now when we reply to ourselves.

        “Las Vegas reports that 30% of its customers are Canadian, and, thanks to Trump’s insults, threats to try to turn Canada into a state and his tariffs, Canadians are no longer flocking to Las Vegas.”

        The first part does not provide any support for the second. Got any real numbers to back up this claim? Sorry that Canadians are unable to take a joke. Enjoy the snow!

        “Also, those states in the northern tier, which also traded freely with Canada and which welcomed Canadian tourists and visitors, are also seeing Canadians staying away.”

        Again, got any numbers to back up your vague statements?

        “I’m glad I don’t have any foreign travel scheduled because Americans are not as welcome as we used to be”

        Not true at all. Nobody cares but American leftists. Everyone takes the money.

        “and the dollar is sliding in value.”

        See above.

        “Then, there’s the real and present risk of some Iranian or other Middle Easterner harming you because of Trump.”

        I’m sure it’s much more dangerous today. Want to tell me what Trump did 25 years ago to get a bunch of Saudis all riled up? You’re tedious.

  3. Professor Turley writes, “This is a matter of first impression for the courts and there are good-faith arguments on both sides.”

    With all due respect, I strongly doubt it. Moss is deliberately engaging in legal sophistry to commit obstruction. This is lawyer’s tricks being perpetrated by a federal judge. We all know there will be more lawyer’s tricks if this one gets overruled. This is very damaging to the law as an institution.

    The six justices need to step up immediately and protect the integrity of the courts because the alternative is…

    Fighting fire with fire. If Democrats want to mock the law, ignore their rulings.

    In that event, the Democrats would escalate and go into full-insurrection mode. They’ve made it quite clear that they would rather burn every institution to the ground than hand the government back to the people. They didn’t build that, but they’ll be happy to wreck it.

    1. @Diogenes

      Spot on, and personally, I think that’s part of the plan: these injunctions are intentionally overreaching, absurd, and unending to provoke that kind of a response from the administration so the left can justify even worse on their part. They are transparent and gross.

      I’d like to think the administration is being equally calculating and rather than taking the bait, continues to take the wind out of sails. Our modern dems are truly awful, and don’t care one whit about law or the people of this country.

    2. Agree, Dio, but didn’t we just go through this with the class action opinion?

      The biggest impact is the census and representatives. I read 8 seats were added nevermind State and local.

      Just lacks common sense. The US sets the number of asylum seekers and not the reverse. I don’t have enough gigabytes to understand. 😏

  4. “Interesting times are on the horizon for judges everywhere.”

    And the rest of us, as well.

  5. Social Security insolvency could speed up with illegal immigration crackdown
    Penn-Wharton study shows unauthorized workers contributed $24 billion to Social Security last year

    A new report warns that a side effect of the Trump administration’s push to crack down on illegal immigration could further weaken Social Security’s finances and speed up its insolvency.

    Social Security’s main trust funds, when considered together, are on pace to be depleted in 2034, according to a recent analysis by Social Security’s trustees. Once the trust funds are tapped out, an automatic benefit cut of 19% would occur once the program’s ability to augment payroll tax collections with trust funds is no longer viable.

    The Penn-Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) estimates that unauthorized immigrants paid about $24 billion in Social Security taxes in 2024 — though they’re unable to receive benefits unless they obtain legal resident status.

    How could Trump’s new ‘Gold Card’ immigration plan stimulate the US economy?
    https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/social-security-insolvency-could-speed-up-illegal-immigration-crackdown

    The Penn-Wharton Budget Model (PWBM):
    Summary: Deporting unauthorized workers over 10 years cuts Social Security revenue, raises deficits by $133 billion (10 yrs) and $884 billion (30 yrs). The Trust Fund depletes 6 months earlier; 75-year deficit rises by 0.25% of payroll.

    Key Points:
    • Unauthorized immigrants paid about $24 billion in Social Security taxes in 2024 despite being ineligible for future benefits.

    • We consider a range of deportation scenarios, all of which reduce Social Security’s income and accelerate Trust Fund depletion. The permanent deportation policy, which includes 10 years of deportations followed by a permanent halt to unauthorized immigration, results in the largest decline in Social Security’s long-term balance, equal to 0.25 percent of taxable payroll.

    • Replacing the lost revenue from permanent deportation would require increasing payroll taxes, or some other equivalent, to collect an additional $180 per year from the median U.S. household in 2025, growing at around 3.5 percent each year in the future.

    1. Without dynamis analysis this study assumes any illegal alien worker deported would be a dead loss to the economy as they would not be replaced. This is obviously false. If the alien worker is replaced by a US citizen taxes will still be paid. Sure some amy now collect some SS but the sad fact is that many manual laborers never live long enough to collect much!

      1. We all know that the Social Security System works like a Ponzi Scheme Pyramid (Oops! I said the quite part out-loud again – My Bad)
        Without Bottom Feeders to pay into the Scheme, daylight will come to shine, that the whole thing was a scam.
        For that matter, Wall Street operates the same way (former S.E.C. Chair Bernie Madoff confessed it).
        The World of Numbers and Inter-Connected Schemes is so convoluted on purpose to hide the facts of the reality.
        Now they are pushing Crypto, where your so called ‘investments’ are gone in a Poof! of a delete button.

        “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”

      2. CultivatingMan,
        Another thing they are making an assumption on is those illegals getting a full time, LEGAL status paying wage and not getting paid less or under the table. As the recent ICE raid at a food packing plant in Iowa, some 75 illegals were arrested. There was some concern the food plant would have to shut down. But with 75 openings, two days later, the companies waiting room had over 100 applicants who were LEGAL. They would be getting a full time, LEGAL pay check and the payroll SS would be deducted.

    2. Virtually guaranteed that these illegals took out far more than $24 billion in undeserved local, state, and federal benefits. Illegals are a net drain on America. Each illegal deported saves our country money.

      Congress does not fund Social Security, payroll taxes do that. Not sure what your beef is with that one.

      And at the very end, we get to the real point of this screed, regular old anti-semitism. Terrific. Thanks for starting my day with a dose of the oldest hatred.

      1. The Beef ? – The Beef is that the Social Security System is in trouble and Congress is not doing anything to support it.
        Yes Payroll Taxes pay for it. but when Income Taxes are spent on the War Machine instead of the life support system of Social Security,
        particularly when honest Citizens paid into it the system only to find that it’s not going to pay back, Yeah – I have a Beef.
        And what really gets it is that, they continue to run this Ponzi Scheme, knowing full well that it is a Bankrupt system.
        Governmental Corruption in plain sight, and Nobody can do a thing about it – Yeah Right.

        1. If you love Hamas so much, go over there and pick up a rifle. I heard on the news that they’re looking for recruits, especially in senior management.

          I’ll never stop pointing out how nutcases like yourself try to slip in Jew hatred, no matter what the subject.

          1. Yeah, Make Israel Great Again – F_ _ _ America
            Steal their Social Security from them!
            So 8 Million can live in High Security and can cause Endless Wars,
            So that the Gift Horse that keeps on giving will keeps on giving.

            Stop Blackmailing the American People and pay $ Us back.
            So Social Security won’t go Bankrupt – Pay Up.

            Would you like to take a look at the Ledger’s Balance sheet?

            1. “TRT is a Turkish public broadcast service.”

              No bias there. This is what happens when you start with a conclusion and then desperately flail about looking for evidence to support it. You wind up cozying up to an Islamist dictatorship like Turkey, just because you hate Jews so much.

            2. Israel receives a small share of total U.S. foreign aid, far less than many Arab nations and others around the world. Since 1948, it has received about $150 billion, and today, that aid is exclusively military, not economic handouts.

              Under the agreement, Israel must spend around 74% of the aid on U.S. defense contractors, boosting American industry. In return, it frequently enhances U.S. technology and shares critical advancements in defense and cybersecurity.

              Meanwhile, countries like Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan have received far more U.S. aid, much of it in direct economic cash transfers.

              Singling out Israel while ignoring these larger expenditures is a double standard. That’s not fiscal responsibility, it’s selective outrage, and it’s a clear sign of antisemitism.

              On top of all this, Israel is a strategic ally and a technological leader. Many of the tools used to criticize it including the devices and networks we use, rely on Israeli innovation.

          2. Your ‘thing’ isn’t quite right, isn’t it? You’ve owed Us since 1948, its time you pay up.
            Israel and You are a Bad Debt, a Moral Hazard to all Gentiles.
            You got kicked out of Europe, and now your in the Middle East and you don’t know how to work with your Neighbors.
            Maybe you should treat them as Equals, not Gentile Herding stock. Subordinating Others is not a virtuous quality.

            The crap you pulled two weeks ago was Bull Sh_t. it was a stunt to get more appropriation out of Us in the new Budget.
            You don’t know when to quit and stop – Moral Hazard.

            1. Yikes, we’ve managed to strip away all of the bluster and get to the point finally: good ole Jew hatred. Thank you for finally being honest.

              1. Know one was provoking you (The Nuke thing two weeks ago) – You tie these People to the Whipping Post and take it out on them, then say Look America we need more, and more, and more… The only one provoking things are you, just to claim to be the Victim, and squeeze more money out of Us. And now you want more Land. Gaza, Lebanon, as far as the eye can see, and take only the best lands.
                No one really wants to live in the desert, do they. But it’s good enough for the Gentiles according to you.

                Americans are waking up to your ways, and they’re sick and tired of it. They’re fed up with eating Fluff, there’s no more substance in their lives, nothing nutritious and healthy about it. Making America Great Again is about Us, Not You.
                We need a new Congress, ones that’s Sober to the corrosive effects of AIPAC and Israel. A Congress that stands-up independently for Americans.

                I Pray to God We will Have it.

                1. Keep talking, I’m sure you’ll eventually get around to calling for special “camps” in order to “concentrate” the undesirable population of Jews. Maybe then you’ll even come up with some kind of “final solution” to the Jewish “problem”.

                1. Now I see that we’re trying to be an intellectual anti-semite. Whatever lets you sleep at night. Don’t forget to shine your jackboots by morning.

      2. The best figure I could find was that each dollar contributed by an illegal results in a $0.50 net loss to the system.

    3. Interesting how this study presumes the WORK these people are doing will disappear. I read the article in the link to the Wharton study, but NOWHERE do I see the obvious. An AMERICAN (or a legal immigrant) would need to fill the job, and pay the payroll taxes! Furthermore, many millions of illegal alien workers pay NO TAXES and neither do their employers . . . thus, deportations INCREASE legal workers, and therefore INCREASE taxes to Social Security.

      1. I hear you, there are ‘payroll tax holes’ when Jobs are not filled or created.
        Just recently Ford Motor Company President Jim Farley, increasing wages and benefits.

        Trump is trying to make corrections to this with forcing Companies to ‘Make it in America’ (create jobs here).
        Fact is Young People (20 something) are going to have to eat it, like we did in the 70s and early 80s.
        But most of them won’t swallow their pride and do it. The Democrats have raise a bunch of lazy Brats that aren’t worth their sweat, because they don’t work enough to make a sweat. -rant- …

  6. It seems to me that the migrants in question had the opportunity to claim asylum to which Judge Moss believes they are entitled, and they bypassed that opportunity when they snuck into the country rather than coming in through a port of entry and immediately making such claim. Doesn’t the act of avoiding the procedure for claiming asylum indicate a tacit concession that the migrant has no valid asylum claim?

  7. In the immortal words of Susan Wild (D-PA); “Do what you know is right and let the law catch up to you”. Ignore this judge!

  8. Organized crime (which owns the Democrat party) has everything to gain from tens of millions of poorly/non-educated aliens staying in the country and toadies like Moss will do their best (or else) to continue the flow into the US.

    The Democrats are a vile organization that must be purged from any and all power, by every means possible. They are traitorous and must be treated as enemy combatants.

  9. Another Unqualified Radical Left Wing DEM so called Judge. Trump Admin. will win on Appeal

  10. This ruling is the expected outcome of a bungling judiciary that has turned itself into nothing more than a bureaucratic morass. John Roberts has facilitated this transition via 20 years of deficient leadership. Leaders that continually compromise and chaperone with vagary and nuance eventually find themselves guiding a compromised institution. Such is the Chief Justice John Glover Roberts Jr. legacy,

    And District Court Judge Randolph Moss reveals himself to be merely a gamer playing the Robert’s system.

  11. the Court is persuaded that it lacks authority to issue a class-wide injunction…But that does not mean that the Court must deny the principal injunctive relief that Plaintiffs seek.

    This would seem to be the right time to say “Go *uck yourself!” And the President lacks the power to stop a foreign invasion into our country? WTF? This POS is just begging for a Code Red and then a Col. Jessep style dress-down:

    …And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

  12. Apparently, the good judge ignored 8 USC 1182(f) and 8 USC 1185(a).

    The ruling is invalid on its face and Trump should ignore it.

  13. Moss’s statement “the Court is persuaded that it lacks authority to issue a class-wide injunction requiring… ” is the latest technique of the District courts. If it prevails, the District Courts will be back in business stopping Trump with statements to the same effect, “we know we can’t do this but we’ll do it (anyway) on the basis of … ” We’ll be seeing hamster droppings instead of cow pies.

  14. The Constitution’s guarantees against foreign invasion but the President is powerless to stop it. Oh, and by the way, the guarantee is really just superfluous surplusage! Any wonder the public thinks our profession is lost and our judges are dip-poops? Mr. Bumble was right “the law is an ass.”

  15. As in a growing number of such cases, the judge decides what he wants to do first regardless of the letter of the law, and then tries to write his way into a plausible decision. This will fail.

      1. I have to marvel at the level of irrational hatred that would make a person post something this obviously inane and childish on a public forum. What exactly was the point of this post? It can’t be an attempt to persuade anybody of anything, what with the misspellings and lame capitalizations, and overall lack of content. Is it just virtue signaling? You hate Trump therefore you’re better than others? That’s what your life has been reduced to?

        What’s truly sad is that, based on your previous posts, this really is the best that you can do. Why don’t you run along now, back to Politico.

        1. Wally has been laying his turds here for years.

          He used to be more regular. He may need more fiber in his diet.

      2. lol. Rudy has shown himself 1000 times the lawyer, constitutionalist and patriot any of this bureaucrat judges will ever be.

    1. The entire point of the “living Constitution” philosophy is for judges to decide the result they want, then selectively pick and choose from legal precedent to support it. And write the opinion in nearly incomprehensible legalese.

      They are destroying whatever public confidence remains in the judiciary. Seemingly deliberately.

    2. On the contrary it will succeed in achieving its purpose if it impedes the administration in carrying out its goal of rectifying the lawlessness of the prior administration. All that needs to happen is they can run out the clock on the Trump term which will end in 2029. A new census will commence in 2030 and we will see why they fought so hard to keep the illegal aliens within our borders. It has nothing to do with altruism or care for the welfare of them.

      1. An ethics evaluation from you, Tubwater. Because the census determines number of House reps it’s critical to know how millions of foreign nationals entries affected the House. 8 seats have been added reportedly.

        An emergency redo of census is currently being sought.

        I pretty much fail the Turing test. 😂 fyi

  16. Moss is just another judicial jerk-off concocting what he wishes was a persuasive rationale for ruling according to his personal biases in lieu of the law. His wish has failed. I am not advocating violence against judges at this time. I am, however, making a prediction, and that prediction is that, if some effective legal remedy is not soon found to restrain activist judges from profoundly overstepping their authority, as has become the norm of late, that violence will materialize.

    1. I should add that if and when that violence does materialize, it will not resolve the problem. What would happen after that, is we would learn that judges are not very brave: their decisions would being to change in response to the violence, which would do nothing but encourage more intimidation from all points of the political compass. That development would, in turn, completely abolish any actual authority retained by the judiciary; their decisions would be ignored because their profound lack of enforcement power would become obvious to all. What power they have comes only from the perception of them justly and objectively interpreting and serving the law. So the remedy to unwarranted activism would seem to require reform form within the judiciary itself. I’m not holding my breath waiting for that. Interesting times are on the horizon for judges everywhere.
