reactions to the Obama judge who's fucking things up

Headline:

Come read the reactions to a federal judge blocking Trump's use of wartime powers to deport Venezuelan gangbangers

This is just a good reminder that with every act of obstruction, the Left is proving that they have no respect for the rule of law.

President Trump invoked a wartime act called the Alien Enemies Act which has been on the books almost as long as the country has been around. He is using the law to target known members of the Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua.

Because they are aliens, and because they are dangerous criminals, Trump is speeding up the deportation process, sending many to be detained by our friends in El Salvador.

Trump is literally flying illegal immigrants, trespassers, out of the country. But not just any illegal immigrants, they are illegal immigrant gangbangers like the dude who killed Laken Riley.

And this judge is like, "turn the plane around, you bad orange man!"

Here are some quotes from tweeted reactions mentioned in the article (edited):

@FischerKing64: A normal person thinks, ‘how could he do this?’ Well—he [the judge] lives in an insular world where the consequences of preventing deportations of violent foreigners will never impact him. And at his next bar-association meeting, he will be treated like a hero for standing up to Trump.

@MattWalshBlog: Insane. Ignore the judge and do it [i.e., deport Tren de Aragua gang members] anyway. What is he going to do about it?

@MZHemingway: (Mollie Hemingway) I'm sorry, but this absolutely lawless order to TURN AROUND PLANES OF TERRORISTS is so insane that I'm having trouble comprehending what [Judge] Boasberg is possibly thinking. Trump cannot possibly agree to this.

@William_E_Wolfe: I'm not sure most people get how serious this is: If unelected judges can block Trump from firing federal workers, enacting his agenda, and setting policy in the executive branch... Then we don’t have a "president," elections are a sham, and tyrants in robes run America.

@BasedMikeLee: Time to file a petition for an extraordinary writ of mandamus. This isn’t funny.

@SeanMDav: (Sean Davis) Forget impeachment. Charge him [Judge Boasberg] with providing aid and comfort to foreign terrorists against the United States.

@america: This judge is siding with Tren de Aragua gang members over American citizens.

And @SeanMDav again: If corrupt Democrat judges are going to lawlessly provide aid and comfort to foreign terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua, then perhaps it’s time to treat them as terrorist co-conspirators.

Tren de Aragua means "train from Aragua." Aragua is a north-central Venezuelan state. You're welcome. I'd been wondering about that, too.

My understanding is that Trump is going to ignore the judge's ruling in the same spirit in which Biden tweeted regarding his cavalier attempts at forgiving student-loan debt, "The Supreme Court blocked me, but it didn't stop me." Liberals will hypocritically howl that Trump isn't above "the law" and should be impeached. Again. 

Way to hold a single standard, guys!

While we're at it:



UPDATE:

If you watch DeVory's video above, you see that the issue is not is simple as Trump defied a court order. E.g., the judge's wish for planes in the air to turn around was a verbal utterance, not a written order. Also: the planes were already in international waters by the time the order was given, so do the orders apply at that point? I'm learning about all this the same way you are, Dear Reader, but the important lesson is that things are never as simple as they seem. And besides: if Trump did defy a court order, so what? There's plenty of precedent just from the previous administration.
