The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
U.S. District Judge Edward Chen issued a nationwide injunction in response to a legal case brought by the National TPS Alliance, putting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s plan to roll back protections granted by the former Biden administration on hold while the case continues. Noem previously said that the Trump administration would revoke TPS protections for Venezuelans on the grounds that they were contrary to U.S. interests and no longer justified by conditions in Venezuela. In a 78-page order, Chen said the plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success in demonstrating that Noem’s actions “are unauthorized by law, arbitrary and capricious, and motivated by unconstitutional animus.”
I guess we should give good old Judge Eddie the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he is allowed in the super-secret dungeon of the National Archives where that special last page of the Constitution is stored? You know...the one that says that the president can't be mean to anyone or act based on his feelings toward a particular group...of rapists and thieves and murderers. They all deserve to be treated like citizens, and not like the gate-crashing criminals they are. Or he is just pulling this nonsensical holding out of his ass, and it has no foundation in our laws. The Biden administration extended the TPS protections to Venezuelans, and it seems to be axiomatic that the next administration can remove those protections. But ORANGE MAN BAD! And illegals, many of whom are violent criminals, are the darling and favored children of many of our activist judges, who want nothing more than to impose their own brand of totalitarianism from the bench. This has to come to a head, and that pathetic excuse of a Chief Justice must take up these cases sooner rather than later. But he is a weakling and a coward, and an intellectual lightweight to boot. His passivity and inaction is destroying the gravitas of the Supreme Court, and his legacy will be that of a failure. So it must be the Trump administration that pushes hard enough to force Roberts' effete, soft hand. Tell this judge that he has no authority over a purely administrative decision, but that if he wants, he can send his divisions to Washington to enforce his edict.

Roberts has a choice:
Preserve Article III powers as malapplied after Marbury vs. Madison for the Supreme Court only, not lower courts.
Or.
Lose Marbury vs. Madison completely.
I suspect he's smart enough to understand that. We'll see.

Folks were saying here after the Dobbs decision came out that Thomas was now the real power on the court. Is there any way that he can bring pressure to bear on Roberts to do the right thing?

People are freaking out because SCOTUS is letting the normal process play out...in the face of unprecedented levels of gamesmanship from lower courts.
The process has killed A LOT of the gamesmanship so far. Stays and PIs being killed here and there. The problem is the TRO process is being abused, and few people, it seems, on SCOTUS want to get involved in that process. They want to process as it stands to play out. Alito's disssent (signed on by Thomas, Kav, and Gorsuch) wanted to short everything right now. Roberts and ACB, it seems, want the process on appellate review to play out.
Frustrating, but I get it at the same time.
Wait until something on the merits comes up to SCOTUS.

It's simple, once a process was established for the illegals that The Biden Junta brought into the country, the process must play out per the courts.
This could obviously be obviated if the courts accepted the administrations interpretation of The Aliens Enemies Act, but they are not accepting their interpretation.
The SCOTUS could nip this all in the bud, but they are content in letting the psychodrama play out further.

Trump's legal team started his second term by saying, "This nearly 100 year old precedent called Humphrey's Executor? We have every intention of getting it undone completely." They said this to SCOTUS in a letter.
This is the kind of legal team who are probably willing to say to SCOTUS, "Marbury v Madison is only held up because the executive agrees to it, and we're not going to agree to it anymore. Now, tell me in Article III where you have the authority to determine if anything is constitutional or not because we deem Marbury dead."

Unlike the U.S. Supreme Court, which was expressly established by Article III of the Constitution, the district courts were established by Congress pursuant to authority delegated by Article III through the enacting of a federal statute, the Judiciary Act of 1789.
There is no constitutional requirement that district courts exist at all.
Defund & disband them.

Not one of the judges has held The Administration in contempt yet?
---
Here is why they don't dare hold Trump et al. in contempt:
Criminal contempt is appropriate for punishing a past violation of a prohibitory court order;
Gompers v. Buck’s Stove & Range Co., 221 U.S. 418 (1911).
An order finding a party in criminal contempt is a final judgment; therefore, appellate review may be obtained immediately by the contemnor regardless of whether he or she is a party or non-party.;
Petroleos Mexicanos v. Crawford Enterprises, Inc., 826 F.2d 392, 398 (5th Cir. 1987); International Business Machines Corp. v. United States, 493 F.2d 112, 114 (2d Cir. 1974), cert. denied, 416 U.S. 995 (1974).
Criminal contempt orders are immediately appealable because they are independent of the main action.
See Carbon Fuel Co. v. United Mine Workers of America, 517 F.2d 1348, 1349 (4th Cir. 1975).

To be fair to the judge, isn't he just following the precedent set by the Supreme Court, which ruled that Trump 45 couldn't use an Executive Order to undo an Obama Executive Order, that dealt with illegal immigration (the so-called "Dreamers" if memory serves), because the Court didn't like Trump's 'tone'?

brought forward from MR:
Man sentenced in deadly 2024 US 285 crash detained by ICE
https://tinyurl.com/sixteen-times
ICE said an immigration judge ordered Cruz-Mendoza to return to Mexico on May 29, 2002. Since then, ICE claims that Cruz-Mendoza has been “removed from the United States, or voluntarily returned to Mexico, 16 times.”
Sixteen times in 22 years. Once every 1.4 years for nearly a quarter of a century. This needs to change.
In 2024 he was driving a semi hauling angle iron and pipe, without a valid commercial driver's license, tried to pass 5 cars at once on a winding mountain highway and lost control, killing one person and injuring another.
Sixteen times deported since 2002

The new Enterprise is not being renamed because they are using steel from CVN-65 in her construction and including six portholes from the original CV-6.

ICE said an immigration judge ordered Cruz-Mendoza to return to Mexico on May 29, 2002. Since then, ICE claims that Cruz-Mendoza has been “removed from the United States, or voluntarily returned to Mexico, 16 times.”
Sixteen times in 22 years. Once every 1.4 years for nearly a quarter of a century. This needs to change.
In 2024 he was driving a semi hauling angle iron and pipe, without a valid commercial driver's license, tried to pass 5 cars at once on a winding mountain highway and lost control, killing one person and injuring another.
Sixteen times deported since 2002

BREAKING: St. Louis Cardinals to Relocate to Las Vegas Starting in 2026
After over a century of calling St. Louis home, the Cardinals front office dropped a bombshell this morning: the team will be relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada ahead of the 2026 MLB season. The move, according to sources, is fueled by “market expansion, state-of-the-art facilities, and the appeal of the entertainment capital of the world.”
Busch Stadium is reportedly set to be repurposed into a mixed-use complex, while construction on a new retractable-roof stadium just off the Vegas Strip is already underway under the working title “Redbird Dome.”
Players and staff have been quietly informed over the last few weeks, and initial reports say Nolan Arenado has already scoped out penthouses near the Sphere.
The official rebranding is expected to include subtle changes to the team’s classic look — most notably, a slight shimmer to the red in the uniforms, and a gold trim to reflect the Vegas glitz.
No word yet on how Fredbird feels about the move, though insiders say he’s been brushing up on his blackjack skills.
And if you’re still reading this far, Happy April Fools’ Day.

>>To be fair to the judge, isn't he just following the precedent set by the Supreme Court, which ruled that Trump 45 couldn't use an Executive Order to undo an Obama Executive Order, that dealt with illegal immigration (the so-called "Dreamers" if memory serves), because the Court didn't like Trump's 'tone'?
The courts will use any figment to conjure their desired outcome.
Bottom line, the law is what the say it is, and until an executive draws a line in the sand and say's no further, they are going to continue to encroach into areas they have no business encroaching.

Also, criminal contempt requires the court comply with all the protections of any other criminal charge--especially trial by jury, presumption of innocence, right to an unbiased judge and guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
And, again, these judges don't dare go within 100 miles of that because they know they will lose their asses.
That's why they keep dicking around with TROs and civil "more likely than not" standards.

More: It was proven shortly after that Cruz-Mendoza was undocumented and was driving the truck without a commercial driver’s license.
One person, 64-year-old Scott Miller, was killed in the crash, and a woman was injured.
According to ICE, Cruz-Mendoza “has served his time for the criminal reckless driving resulting in death conviction.”
1 year! One freaking year for killing a man while driving a commercial truck for which he didn't have a license to do -- in a country that had deported him 20+ times already.

The Hill: Senate Republicans urge Trump, allies to stop threatening courts...Senior Senate Republicans oppose any effort by Speaker Johnson to defund courts that rule against Trump’s agenda, sending a message that they want to de-escalate Trump’s war against the federal judiciary...
...while the Senate has become more partisan over the past 14 years, many Republican view themselves as the stewards of the federal judiciary and are not fond of Trump’s escalating war of words with the third branch...
More ridiculous political theater. Trump and his toadies in the House attack the judiciary to appease Trump Cult members knowing there’s no chance any judge will be removed via impeachment. This is true idiocy; Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.
It's all broken. Senate Republicans gave up their right to speak out when they voted to approve that temporary spending bill. The Speaker of the House said they would defund or dismantle another branch of government for disagreeing with the president and the American people just shrugged and kept watching TV and cramming food into their talk holes.

Unlike the U.S. Supreme Court, which was expressly established by Article III of the Constitution, the district courts were established by Congress pursuant to authority delegated by Article III through the enacting of a federal statute, the Judiciary Act of 1789.
There is no constitutional requirement that district courts exist at all.
Defund & disband them.
Posted by: rickb223 at April 01, 2025 11:13 AM (P58QN)
There’s also no Constitutional requirement for SCOTUS to be able to hear most of these cases. Congress defines most of SCOTUS’ jurisdiction. A simple majority of Congress can take it away.
Also, no requirement that John Roberts be Chief Justice. A simple majority of Congress can take it away and give it to Clarence Thomas. And grant Roberts the title of “Idiot Justice of the Supreme Court.”

Kill only one person? What a piker! *My* illegal semi-driver, who got his license through my Secretary of State corruption scheme, managed to wipe out an entire family in a ball of fire, and then I moved from Secretary of State to Governor.

To be fair to the judge, isn't he just following the precedent set by the Supreme Court, which ruled that Trump 45 couldn't use an Executive Order to undo an Obama Executive Order, that dealt with illegal immigration (the so-called "Dreamers" if memory serves), because the Court didn't like Trump's 'tone'?
---
That is the spirit, meaning and the intent of that ruling.
But, technically, it was because Trump's team failed to comply with some admin rules.
Which, he has done this time.
Ripping off the fig leaf the courts used the last time to hide their true intent:
Orange Man Bad and Racist--not real President!

Everyone knew going in the usual suspects, including the “judiciary” would start screeching like wounded Eagles at even the suggestion of cleaning out the corruption and looting of the Treasury. The plan for many years has been to augur the economic system into the ground. One variant is called “Cloward-Piven”.
Enriching themselves and their friends in the process is just a bonus. Disenfranchise the Americans.
The difference is Mr. Trump and co. are tackling this head on. Nobody else has done fuck all in 50 years.

Does Roberts have powers the other justices do not as far as what cases get taken up and how quickly?

Also, no requirement that John Roberts be Chief Justice. A simple majority of Congress can take it away and give it to Clarence Thomas. And grant Roberts the title of "Idiot Justice of the Supreme Court."
How would that bill read, exactly? Like it or not, Roberts was confirmed as "Chief Justice", a specific position mentioned in the Constitution.

Congressional Research Reports (CRS) are generally easy to find in final format. However, one relevant to the topic was found under: Congress dot gov: Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure, CRS Product Type: Reports; Publication Date: 12/05/2024; Author: Wilson, Jill H.
It begins: Summary
When civil unrest, violence, or natural disasters erupt in countries around the world, concerns arise over the ability of certain foreign nationals present in the United States who are from those countries to safely return. Provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provide for temporary protected status (TPS) and other forms of relief from removal under specified circumstances. The Secretary of Homeland Security has the discretion to designate a country for TPS for periods of 6 to 18 months and can extend these periods if the country continues to meet the conditions for designation. A foreign national from a designated country who is granted TPS receives a registration document and employment authorization for the duration of the TPS designation.
In addition to TPS, there is another form of blanket relief ..

Unlike TPS, a DED designation emanates from the President's constitutional powers to conduct foreign relations and has no statutory basis."

HOUSTON (AP) — The Biden administration can keep operating a program that allows a limited number of migrants from four countries to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds after a federal judge on Friday dismissed a challenge from Republican-led states.
U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton said Texas and 20 other states had not shown they had suffered financial harm because of the humanitarian parole program that allows up to 30,000 asylum-seekers into the U.S. each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela combined. (Much more followed.)

Remember that "study" a few years ago that claimed that white doctors were far more likely to kill black babies than black doctors?
That "study" received enormous publicity, and was even cited in a Supreme Court dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The "study" was garbage, of course - once you adjusted for the fact that white doctors were more likely to treat low-birthweight babies (i.e. the more difficult cases), the alleged racial difference in black infant mortality rates went away.
Well, somebody FOIAed the drafts of the "study", and the "study" initially showed that white doctors were less likely to kill white babies.
This was not an acceptable conclusion, and the lead author wrote in an electronic note to the draft:
“I’d rather not focus on this. If we’re telling the story from the perspective of saving black infants this undermines the narrative.”
"The narrative."
Your tax research dollars at work.

Recalling the Ras poll the other day that 50% support impeachment of a judge that blocks deportation of criminals:
Roberts should be shitting his pants in horror.
Not soothing his ego with comforting puffery from the media.
Because the real shock of that poll is that it's up to 50%.
Ten years ago, it would have been less than a 20% position, to impeach a judge for ruling against the President.
Now it's a mainstream, accepted response.
And it will only grow in support if he doesn't shut this stupid shit down quickly.
That is a nuclear bomb aimed right at the heart of Judiciary.

How would that bill read, exactly? Like it or not, Roberts was confirmed as "Chief Justice", a specific position mentioned in the Constitution.
Posted by: Chuck C at April 01, 2025 11:35 AM (D0HYP)
The Constitution only mentions a Chief Justice once, and only in passing. Congress established it as a permanent position, and created the titles of Associate Justice as well. The Constitution is silent on how Chief Justice is determined. Congress could make it a rotating position or reassign the title.

I mentioned the left crying in horror about the "dad of a two year old" with 20 tattoos was deported earlier.
Where one of his totally not a gang or criminal tattoos was a ghost because he was merely a super fan of SnapChat.
Forgot the hilarious part:
He was deported even though he had a "do not deport" order from a judge.
Except: It was actually a "do not send to Gitmo" order.
So, Trump didn't send him to Gitmo--he sent him to Salvador!!
LOLGF, ACLU scum.

Remember that "study" a few years ago that claimed that white doctors were far more likely to kill black babies than black doctors?
The "study" was garbage, of course - once you adjusted for the fact that white doctors were more likely to treat low-birthweight babies (i.e. the more difficult cases), the alleged racial difference in black infant mortality rates went away.
Well, somebody FOIAed the drafts of the "study", and the "study" initially showed that white doctors were less likely to kill white babies.
Posted by: The ARC of History! at April 01, 2025 11:43 AM (xTIDn)

I'll also guarantee you that low-birthweight babies are disproportionately born to junkies or substance abusers. This "study" probably relied upon infant mortality rates of babies born to homeless junkies in the worst areas of Detroit versus babies born to wealthy urbanites in Beverly Hills.

>> I'm thinking Roberts gave one of these judges till today, to answer Team Trump question "what gives you the authority to overrule the plenary powers of the president?'
I’ve read most of the filings. You’ll be surprised to learn the plaintiffs and amicus filings mostly focus on the specific authorization technicalities for using the Alien Enemies Act and that TdA does not meet such standards. They’ve largely stayed away from the nationwide TRO issue. So my prediction is since SCOTUS is staffed with subversives and cowards they will focus narrowly on the presidents ability to use the AEA, say he doesn’t have the power, and will avoid all other questions. Thomas will once again dissent and pen a scathing, truthful opinion stating his colleagues are cowards.

Justice Jumanji cited it.
The paper’s most high-profile booster was Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who cited it as evidence for the benefits of affirmative action in her dissent in the 2023 Supreme Court ruling Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which found that universities that considered the race of college applicants had violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The paper’s most high-profile booster was Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who cited it as evidence for the benefits of affirmative action in her dissent in the 2023 Supreme Court ruling Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which found that universities that considered the race of college applicants had violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

"Tell this judge that he has no authority over a purely administrative decision, but that if he wants, he can send his divisions to Washington to enforce his edict."
He doesn't have to "send" anything. If you paid attention, the whole episode around the first Epstein dump is instructive: the SDNY US Attorney and FBI office conducted a mutiny by refusing to obey the order to deliver.
Bondi, Patel, and the entire Trump Administration have to deal with the fact that they have an unknown number of fellow mutineers scattered out through the military and the rest of the armed Federal agencies. And all they need is an excuse, like ignoring the judges orders, to turn to their allies and also the "apolitical" order followers and say:
"Donald Trump is ignoring the Constitution, and our oath to defend it against domestic enemies justifies a coup." And no one knows what might happen then.

State is only needed if a person is here on some type of Visa. Any illegal alien is subject to removal under Title 8, especially criminal aliens. Under AEA they are subject to expedited removal and very little opportunity for a hearing, nor material judicial intervention because it is done using the presidents Article II powers. That’s a separation of powers issue, which is why plaintiffs are trying to attack whether TdA qualifies under AeA, not the presidents general authority

A woman at work told me yesterday that she thinks Musk is an evil man. I asked her why she thought that. In a nutshell it was because one of her probationary employees was cut loose although she was able to get her back with appeal to our HQ. That was the whole of it. My point is she based her opinion solely on how it affected her and her team only to classify him as "evil" as he was "playing with people's lives".
A lot of leftists are like this - tunnel vision as to only how things affect them personally and not looking at the big picture of how actions/inactions affect the country as a whole. With this is mind, these Judges like Chen need a group of MS-13 or TdA gang members housed in their neighborhoods. It would cost a lot up front as I am sure these judges live in more upscale areas but the lessons taught would be well worth it to bring a little hard reality to their doorstep.

My point is she based her opinion solely on how it affected her and her team only to classify him as "evil" as he was "playing with people's lives".
Ask her if there's anything that she and her department do which someone could classify as "playing with people's lives".

The only problem with that theory is that with every flakey female legislator, you can find a male counterpart just as bad.

If I was Trump, I'd start suing these judges by finding other friendly judges who'll take the case.
Oh, I know it has a snowball's chance in hell of working, but I sure would love to see the judiciary explain why they're the only people who can't be sued by other government employees.
It will be fun watching the black robe tyrants prove exactly why they're tyrants to everybody watching.

He definitely deserves it, but it’s more than a little frustrating that the system is so quick to go after a murder when the victim is rich and powerful, but could barely give a shit if you’re one of the little people.
What makes it a federal crime in the first place? Just that it was politically motivated?
