I wonder what garbage dump of a website you got that piece of case law from. Myers is about the right of the President to remove appointed officials. That is not the issue in the USAID case. Clearly, you don't have a clue what constitutes relevant case law.

Wow you read fast, sarcasm intended. 

 

Guess you didnt Shepardize. Dont forget the footnotes.

I'm going to devotemy time to reading a decision based on your assertion that it supports your case? Why should I trust you? If you have evidence from that decision to offer, offer it.

^^nonsensical. Worthless. 

 

Anyway, X is boiling over. It hasn't occurred to the left that the White House wants this issue to go to SCOTUS. As one guy says here - district judges are not Kings. 

 

I have no problem with district court judges ruling against the executive and the issue being expedited to their circuit appeals court, who can then impose an injunction. 

 

Alternatively just do what Biden did, ignore the courts. You didn't hear the moronic left complain about that when the courts ruled against Biden re student debt. 

 

Goose, gander and all that.

Looks like I'm right again. To paraphrase - no judge has the right to insulate civil servants from political oversight. 

 

Where I'm right? Trump wants this battle to go to the Supreme Court. District judges - who are themselves polical appointees - should not have the power to overrule the executive. 

 

Absolutely absurd that a district judge who was nominated by a President, voted out of the committee and confirmed by the Senate thinks that other appointees who go through the same process are inferior to civil servants.

Add to that - Judge Vargas has already narrowed the TRO to ensure that political appointees such as Bessent can access Treasury data. 

 

Vargas knows it was an absurd argument from the get go and when the TRO is challenged in court Trump can't lose. 

 

He'll either see D.O.G.E. carry out the work or he'll be served with an injunction which can be immediately appealed. Part of the appeal or allied to the appeal will be a challenge to the authority of district judges on national issues.

So for all the ball-headed bickering on this thread by the demented left, you'll be enraged to see federal judges destroying nonsensical rulings that you celebrated. 

 

What a pity.

That's like a supervisor in the company mailroom dictating policy to the CEO.

 

I don't see how the judge can let the political appointees (like Bessent) see the Treasury data without allowing someone to query the data for him.  It's not as if he's a database guy who will spend hours at the keyboard slicing and dicing the data.  He's got to delegate that to someone who knows how. 

 

The whole Dem resistance thing is Alice in Wonderland.

I'm not sure whether you were not paying attention when he was found guilty or didn't read any of the many articles that reported on the verdict being read out in court, but here's just one, as an example. 

 

We were paying attention.  Come back when you can explain the legal issues behind the judge's instructions to the jury related to the charges underlying the felonies.  You don't have to agree with the issues.  Just prove to us that you understand what they are.  Otherwise, you're just parroting the lefty MSM.

 

Edit:  And if you want bonus points, explain to us why the judge was right...

The Judges ruling was effevtiely that Bessent couldn't sit next to a data analyst and view the data. Which is just utter stupidity.

That, my friend, was a long expired misdemeanor. BBC should have done their homework instead of trotting out a silly democrat narrative. 

Truth is, nobody knows what his felony conviction was for. And due to DJT not knowing what crime he was being tried for, had no way to prepare a defence. Real kangaroo court justice to please simple minds and the liberal hivemind.

 

Please send your $$ to Trump immediately so he and his legal team can once again get shown to come up short on the scales of Justice.

Incorrect. Falsifying business records may be a misdemeanor but falsifying business records in the first degree is a felony. And the statute of limitations for these offences had clearly not expired, otherwise he couldn't have been found guilty of them.

Try sticking to the issues under discussion which I responded to, not some other extraneous issues. 

 

@SunnyinBangrakasked what offences Trump was found guilty of, I answered by specifying what those offences were.

 

Then you (and he) said the offences were misdemeanors and the statute of limitations on them had expired. I provided evidence that the offences charged were in fact, class E felonies and pointed out that the statute of limitations had not expired.

 

I didn't make any claims about the issues underlying the charges, nor about the judge being right. My only interest and involvement in this was to respond to issues related to the nature of the charges.

 

Pointing out what offences Trump was found guilty of is neither left nor right-leaning, it's simply a question of being objectively accurate. 

It was an expired misdemeanor. It was jacked up to a felony by being linked to an unknown and unproven crime. The jury got a multiple choice for whst the unknown and unproven crime was. Trump could not defend himself. Never happened in US legal history before.

Allowing a cults irrational hatred of their opponent to reach such delusional pitch they destroy democracy to try locking him up for an expired misdemeanor is disgusting. As is lying to try justifying it. Wise up.

All you ever provide is your ill-informed opinion.  How about something with some meat on the bones?

Where's the beef?  All you give out is bun only.

 

What charge on the indictment was for an unknown crime?  Details?

Section 17-152 of the New York Election Law provides that any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and which conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto, shall be guilty of conspiracy to promote or prevent an election.

The "unknown crime" was not included in the original indictment and charging docs, and brought up only in opening statements at the start of trial in April.

I just read that as Federal District Judges are not mentioned in The Constitution it is by dint unconstitutional for them to interfere with the Executive.

 

So all Federal District court orders of that nature are void. 

 

Apparently only SCOTUS has that right.

 

I think this is heading to SCOTUS.

So when courts interfered with the previous Executive, and were applauded by MAGA posters, it was also unconstitutional! Good to know that! 🤣

Calm down, it's not been ruled unconstitutional. 

 

My OP stands - Clarence Thomas would vote against District judges issuing national injunctions. I think this is heading to SCOTUS before the midterms.

Bray - The best argument against statutory authority to grant national injunctions is that neither the APA nor the Judiciary Act of 1789 authorize them. 

 

Frost - In his concurrence in Trump v. Hawaii, Justice Thomas criticized nationwide injunctions and declared that “[i]f their popularity continues, this Court must address their legality.”................

 

a Seventh Circuit panel discussed the propriety of a nationwide injunction in detail. The Seventh Circuit then agreed to review the scope of the injunction en banc (though argument in that case was recently postponed).

 

Going forward, it seems likely that courts will be more cautious in issuing these injunctions, which in turn may take away the incentive for Congress or the Supreme Court to address the issue. But of course, it is always difficult to predict what the future will hold.

Interesting one here - in 1996 Congress took for granted that District Courts had the power of national injunction. 

 

Took for granted!!! 

 

Congress did not grant. 

 

Article III "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

The interesting part to that is that all district courts are allocated to circuits, so when Congress ordained district courts all were responsible to their circuit appellate court. 

 

Said Appeals court ruled on disputes within their circuit. 

 

Where is it mentioned that district courts were ordained with national powers when it's clear they were all ordained as circuit courts?
