The Morning Rant
[Charles is unavailable this morning. Go ahead, Rant.] Lately I've been wrapped up in personal and family issues. Some wonderful. Some not. And over the past two weeks I haven't paid much attention to current events. But something caught my attention as would walking into a wall. I'm not an attorney, never played one on TV but I have worked with and worked for attorneys. Oh they are an interesting lot. I'm not sure I would go as far as William Shakespeare and call for their demise. Most of the attorneys I've met I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on them if they were on fire. And I'm betting my next Social Security check (which is still coming during the government shutdown) I wouldn't and neither would you if you saw Bill Clinton appointed San Francisco district judge Susan Yvonne Illston on flames. (Standing vs. Judge shopping is a Rant for another time) I wouldn't bet against someone crossing the street and adding fuel to the fire. After 2020 I became as my father would say, "Sick and tired" of the judicial decisions made based upon"Standing". Well, unless I suck at geography San Francisco is on the other side of the country from Washington D.C. yet a Californian judge who know one ever heard of has stopped President Trump. (Again, temporarily) The Federal Employees who are so vital to this nation's survival need to retain their positions. Without them we would all suffer horribly per this maven of jurisprudence. You see, us stupid knuckle dragging, mouth breathing Wal-Mart shopping people understand that law is based upon rules and precedents. It is quite apparent we (and the duly elected POTUS) lack the clear moral superiority when it comes to math, money and employees.
Federal judge Susan Illston on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from firing workers during the government shutdown - ruling that she believes the evidence would ultimately show that the firings were illegal and in excess of authority. Federal agencies began issuing layoff notices on Friday aimed at reducing the size of the federal government and pressure Democratic lawmakers while the government shutdown continues. According to Illston, the administration has been acting without thinking things through. "It's very much ready, fire, aim on most of these programs, and it has a human cost," she said, adding "It’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated."There is a human cost to every facet of life. And Judge Resting Bitch Face a majority of people and the electoral college voted that those human costs are not only tolerable but encouraged. But then again she is a west coast elite who rules on emotion rather than fact. And that is why she will be overruled shortly, because she can't understand normal thinking.

According to Illston, the administration has been acting without thinking things through.
"It's very much ready, fire, aim on most of these programs, and it has a human cost," she said, adding "It’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated."
Judge Illston is apparently a mind reader, having figured out what they're thinking and all. Regardless, it's a human cost that I can easily tolerate.

Barack Obama is miserable. On a lefty podcast this week, he sat slumped in a chair, arms and legs folded, in full defensive posture, musing about “anger,” “sadness” and “fear.”
He bemoaned the fact that Trump’s re-election and dominance is a rejection of “a lot of what Michelle and I had tried to project, the values, our thinking about America.”
You betcha.
====================
Miranda Devine dancing on the grave of Obama's Socialism might be a tad premature, but you can certainly appreciate Trump is doing everything he can to make it real.

"It's very much, fire, aim on most of these programs"
___
"very much", how much?
"ready, fire, aim", if the admin typed words on paper, that proves the "aim" part came before the "fire" part
"most of these programs", which ones did the admin not put words to paper?
If this is just a summary of a ruling where these questions are answered in detail, then fine, the judge did at least part of her job. I have my suspicions though.

Unelected and unaccountable judges ignoring the law and overriding the will of the people via their elected representatives in Congress and the President is just democracy.
You don't understand because you didn't go to Harvard.
LOL.
That clown judge's ruling, that Trump can't fire because it would be mean, is so absolutely bonkers that it likely will result in the Administrative Procedures Act being found unconstitutional.
Every single one of the illegal injunctions against Trump have all relied upon the most tortured and fantastical reading of the APA.
And every time they have gone to SCOTUS, it's been 6-3--"no, that is not what the Act says, that is not anywhere close."
And yet ... these clown judges keep playing dumb.

Actually not permissible for judges in administrative law cases to submit their judgment for the executive branch. Separation of powers and all that. Judges have to rule only on what the law says or does not say and the Anti Deficiency Act clearly gives the executive the power to fire or layoff government workers when a shutdown occurs.
So she ruled instead by TRO and muh feelz despite Scotus scolding and reversing a bunch of these. Plus, made her ruling out of jurisdiction as well as the nexus of where the decision was made should have been DC where the OMB is located rather than San Francisco.
But the funny thing is that the 9th is much less liberal than it used to be thanks to Trump while some other circuits are more liberal like the 1st and mebbe the 4th.

Originally built in 1928 for the Lackawanna, now carries the NJ Transit Morris & Essex trains over the Hackensack River.

Good lawyers are like good judges: Rare, but when you stumble across one it's a real blessing. And good judges are even more rare that good lawyers. Judges are usually lawyers who grew tired of doing their jobs, and all the work and risk that comes with that (including competing in the real world) so they packed up their delusions, sucked up to the powers that be, and headed for a life of unaccountable authority.

It's also easy lawfare that keeps donors opening their wallets and lawyers and consultants and remoras nicely fed. Probably 90% of what the Democraps do now is intended solely to siphon money from (stupid) donors and keep their friends fat.
And every time they have gone to SCOTUS, it's been 6-3--"no, that is not what the Act says, that is not anywhere close."
And yet ... these clown judges keep playing dumb.

IL, NY, and CA are showing severe strain in finances from the blue model of vast welfare benefits, large rakeoffs for their cronies, and massive government unionized employees that are sucking those states dry on pension and salary benefits. There are some red states with issues like Kentucky and Mississippi but the lack of entrenched blue legal protections for bennies means easier to cut those back if needed.

To be clear, all of these illegal injunctions against Trump, based on the APA, all of them follow this pattern:
-Trump is a big meanie and said mean things.
Those mean things aren't nice and prove he has bad motivations.
-Because he has bad motivations, even though the thing he is doing is legal, we think it is now illegal.
-And also, he didn't file form 8e2-47 in triplicate with notice posted in every federal courthouse for 7 months, so that's a violation of the APA.
The SCOTUS, in the Utah land case, already ruled that violation of mere procedures, or even requirements, by the Executive (the EPA), does not grant standing.
And further, that failure cannot be grounds for an injunction.
And yet, these clown judges persist in the falsehood that the APA does exactly that.

Democrats are running a judicial tyranny meant to subvert the constitutionally mandated powers of both the Executive and Congress. This is exactly what the framers and founders feared.
It’s about time Congress grew a set of balls, stopped checking the wind and impeached these judges. This isn’t about politics, it’s about the judiciary stealing the people’s power and usurping it for themselves.

Namely that there is no clear statutory limit on Federal Judges power; we’ve always just counted on them to have sense and not try to be too dictatorial.

92 Fetterman can do the Arlen Spector flip if he times it right. Arlen was a Democrat before he became a GOP senator, and then flipped back to Dems just to help pass the ACA. Didn't save his seat though.

I've seen that his approval with Republicans is +40. It might work.
But then he fights in a GOP primary and has to defend voting for KJB and all his pro-tranny stuff.

Want to put probably half of all lawyers out of business? It's very easy. People just need to stop suing each other over every little boo-boo. By far the biggest class of cases in the USA are personal injury. Tens of millions of PI cases are filed every year.

Pretty soon, leftists judges will cite 'I don't like his attitude' as reason to enjoin Trump
Their legal opinions will soon be "You know what you did, and if you don't, I'm not going to tell you".

You misunderstand. They only have to consider the human financial impact of their decisions as it affects government workers and recipients of government handouts.
Note that the judge did not require the Senate Democrats to pass the CR, which would have funded things and prevented Trump from acting.

It’s about time Congress grew a set of balls, stopped checking the wind and impeached these judges. This isn’t about politics, it’s about the judiciary stealing the people’s power and usurping it for themselves.
Posted by: Vengeance
Impeachment is a blunt instrument and useless in this case because it requires 2/3rds of the Senate to convict. No Dem is going to vote to convict and remove.
So political theater for the House to do it just like Presidential races.
I would instead have the DoJ investigate judges for illegal collaborative activities with Lawfare lawyers and politicians behind the scenes. Same with Capitol Hill politicians.

"It’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated."
I'm no lawyer either but I'm pretty sure "I don't like this so I won't tolerate it for everybody" is not on sound legal footing.
The only upside is that these judges are exposing the system the Dems have implemented over the past several decades and it will open more eyes to what we are dealing with in the Federal Leviathan.

Corporate Law / Business Law is fine, and that’s where a majority of practicing attorneys are. It’s when you have to deal with the general public, especially the portion that habitually gets into trouble, that things get ugly. Family law especially, only those with a strong stomach can take that.
I knew a prominent divorce lawyer, he said what surprised him most in every case was when the shoebox full of nasty Nekkid pictures got put on his desk. He said “at first I was shocked, but quickly learned they’ve all got them of each other. Now I just don’t care.”
He then said his main technique was to fight in court until both sides ran out of money to pay legal fees, then settle.

I'm starting to like Fetterman. If only some people could have a sit down with him and explain some 2A issues which he is very weak on. One would think that he already educated himself and came around in a state (Commonwealth, sorry) like PA. Opening day of deer season PA probably has the third largest standing army on Earth, and they are not all Fudds.

Then she went the Sean Penn route of never doing another comedy, to make sure that everyone takes her seriously as a thespian.

He is trying to nail down the Jewish wing and the moderate wing of the D party to make a play for the VP slot (aka, the guy Kamala should have wanted vs what she got with Walz)...

The thing about standing is unusual. Someone who might be affected by RIFs that are legal under federal rules can be given standing and provided a TRO, however when my state decides to charge everyone a $150 fee for the right to purchase firearms and pay for the state police to hire more background checkers, we have no standing UNTIL THE LAW IS BEING ENFORCED.

Fetterman can do the Arlen Spector flip if he times it right. Arlen was a Democrat before he became a GOP senator, and then flipped back to Dems just to help pass the ACA. Didn't save his seat though.

Arlen Specter is hated almost universally. On a par with Quisling and Benedict Arnold. I hope Fetterman's legacy is better than that.

The only thing I know of that distinguishes Fetterman from the rest of the Dems is his firm, unapologetic support for Israel and refusal to bend the knee to the Palestinians. Is there anything else? I don't think that is enough to make him a Republican.

If you look up Snarlin Arlin's record, he voted as much with the Dems as the GOP. GOP adopted him because he was ruthless enough to win in PA for multiple cycles until they got tired of his act.
Turncoats are often the most zealous in politics because they literally burned their bridges with the other party. Snarlin was a dependable vote for the GOP for a long time in critical votes while voting with the Dems when it mattered less.

I often wonder if these types of leftist judges get phone calls from somebody high up in the chain and told to rule against this specific thing Trump has done that is before them in court and that they must come up with whatever crazy ruling they can to stop Trump.
It's probably just good little lefty foot soldiers doing whatever they can, but at times all of this seems quite coordinated.

Yeah, "Independents" like Fetterman would try to be have to be like Murkowski- drawing a significant number of votes from the other party (Dems) because she's such a squish, and the state so Republican captured, that the Dems don't have a chance otherwise. PA is still purple, so both parties would back their preferred candidate instead of some independent compromise.

So she ruled instead by TRO and muh feelz despite Scotus scolding and reversing a bunch of these. Plus, made her ruling out of jurisdiction as well as the nexus of where the decision was made should have been DC where the OMB is located rather than San Francisco.

I still can't wrap my mind around how these clown judges are justifying relying on, and basing their rulings, on what Trump said.
How the hell is that even admissible evidence? (Yes, I know relevance can be stretched to whatever the judge wants.)
But what really gets me--and this violates every rule of evidence I can think of--is these clown judges admitting these statements on their own, "I saw what Trump said on TV."
No you dumb bitch, you try the matter on the facts presented, not the facts you bring in yourself.
Like the clown judge in Chicago calling an emergency hearing to see if the administration is violating her illegal order because of what she saw on TV over the weekend!
Holy fuck, that is so far outside of all norms and rules.
And that's before I get into how she had basically appointed herself some sort of special master over ICE and is now ordering them how to conduct arrests and what to wear.

Which goes to show the power the far left has over their media and their voting base.
Fetterman's only heterodox views are on Israel (which was a standard Democrat view for many decades until Obama) and calling us Nazis. Outside of that, he's a radical leftist who wants to use state power to advance lunatic lefty causes.
But because the far left hates him, the lefty base in his own state hates him.

Obviously PA voters did not do so for a long stretch,
First elected in 1980, he was the longest-serving senator from Pennsylvania, having represented the state for 30 years. In 2009 though, Arlin ran out of road, he was likely to lose the GOP nomination and viewed his political survival by jumping to the Dems for the last two years of his term as the answer. It is to his disadvantage that he got primaried as a new Dem and lost his seat anyway in the Dem primary instead.

‘I would instead have the DoJ investigate judges for illegal collaborative activities with Lawfare lawyers and politicians behind the scenes. Same with Capitol Hill politicians.’
This is correct for 2 reasons:
1) It recognizes we have a judge problem and not a lawyer problem. All the shit you see lawyers do that you don’t like? Some judge allowed it.
2) We’ll never have the numbers to make impeachment happen. Prosecutions are the way to go. These rulings that impinge on Trump’s rightful authority? Prosecute those judges for abuse of power. Begin with the judges that are also defying a Supreme Court ruling. They have no excuse.

I am concerned that there are few conservative lawyers under age 40. It's been 25 years since I graduated law school. We had a mix of conservative but mostly liberal professors who made no effort to indoctrinate us.
Most of my class were liberal but we had a critical mass of smart conservatives, usually people like me who didn't go in straight from college but matured a little by paying our dues in other fields first.
Anyway, now I fear it's all critical theory all the time. It'll be hard for President Vance or whomever to find conservative jurists to appoint to the bench.

CERTAIN white people are the biggest threat to the world today.
Damn straight!!
“The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by, you know, let’s say it: white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology, it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.”

The ongoing judicial coup, as referred to as such by this administration needs to start treating it as a coup and met out the remedies a coup would typically receive.
Nearly a quarter through Trump's first term and we're still fucking around with judges who routinely usurp the President's powers.

Lump's a stone-cold lefty and, IIRC, an avid communist as mayor of Shitfuck. He only breaks from leftwing hive-think on Israel and free speech. Because those two issues have dominated political discourse for a while, it only seems that Lump breaks from his fellow Dums on lots of issues. He don't.

When the Government puts the country in debt 37 Trillion dollars and causes our dollars to be worth less which causes prices on everything to go up I think we have the right to be upset. Trump is trying to do the right things but has to fight our own government to get things done. We are in trouble and the left does not care and will use the courts and media to make matters worse. Biden and the left did not give a shit about the spending, they got their part of it. But the common everyday taxpayer is stuck with the bill. Somehow bad government policies always fall on to the working people to take care of. And anyone votes for the leftist are just stupid and digging the hole deeper.

This is correct for 2 reasons:
1) It recognizes we have a judge problem and not a lawyer problem. All the shit you see lawyers do that you don’t like? Some judge allowed it.
2) We’ll never have the numbers to make impeachment happen. Prosecutions are the way to go. These rulings that impinge on Trump’s rightful authority? Prosecute those judges for abuse of power. Begin with the judges that are also defying a Supreme Court ruling. They have no excuse.

I would start with the clerks and magistrate judges. Lots of dirty pool there such as clerks manipulating judges selected to hear cases. Beyond random statistics where Democrat judges are being selected to hear cases against the administration. I would also consider panel and en banc manipulation as well as fair game.
Two reasons--harder to defend clerks,etc. political for Dems, and two, none of them have life tenure. They have more to lose if they don't flip to investigators about the shit their judges are up to.

"t’s about time Congress grew a set of balls, stopped checking the wind and impeached these judges."
None of these judges will ever be convicted of anything so you need to get over this fallacy real quick and start agitating for the R controlled congress to starting eliminating these circuits off the map.
No circuits, no judges to eff things up.
Eliminating a circuit only needs a majority vote. Convicting a impeached judge will need 67 senators. Thats not going to happen.

Biden caused this mess, too.
Private education & health services, government, leisure and hospitality were the rising employment areas, non farm, 2023 and 2024.
AI Overview: 2024 federal hiring overview
Key data points on federal hiring in 2024 include:
Total workforce: As of November 2024, the federal government employed just over 3 million people, an increase of about 27,000 since January 2024.
Sector differences: While the overall federal workforce grew, the average monthly job gain of 37,000 was lower than the 59,000 per month added in 2023.
High-volume months: In August 2024, federal hiring accounted for all net job growth in the U.S. economy, adding 45,000 jobs. In October 2024, 40,000 federal jobs were added, offsetting a net job loss in the overall economy.
--
2023, the VA hired a record 61,490 new employees, primarily in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). For 2024, the VA planned to slow its hiring pace after the record 2023 hires, though specific total new hire numbers for 2024 are not yet available in the provided sources; however, a 2% growth rate for the first quarter of 2024 was reported.
VA bypassed some red tape on new hires. It was NOT alone.

"Human cost," my ass.
I don't remember leftists shouting about human costs when they shut down the country over the Wuhan Virus. When people were not allowed to board airplanes. When they forced babies to wear masks. When grandmas died alone in nursing homes, families locked out. When they shut down industries over The Horrors of Climate. When girls are forced to have masturbating adult males in their changing rooms. When they laudered trillions of dollars to their NGO cronies and devalued the currency, so everything costs twice as much as it did only a couple years ago. When they destroyed healthcare. When they ensured that poor kids in the cities can't read, write, or do sums. When they stole billions from gov and charity, awarded it to their corrupt buddies, and let the Haitians starve. When they introduced every urban dweller to the Fentanyl Fold, allowing-->forcing mentally ill people to live on the streets and fend for themselves, posing a danger to themselves and others and ruining formerly great cities like Chicago and New York and San Francisco.

The only upside is that these judges are exposing the system the Dems have implemented over the past several decades and it will open more eyes to what we are dealing with in the Federal Leviathan.

Yup.
Like, for how long have the Dems been able to hide away from the eyes of the general public just how corrupt and partisan most of their federal judge are?
I point this out: 10 years ago, if you ran a poll "should the President defy a court ruling?" you might have gotten 10-20%.
Everyone kinda accepted the phony "judges are just umpires" myth that always only benefited the left.
But now?
That's pushing 50%.
That's how desperate a position the left is in, that they are having to burn their biggest and best secret weapon.

Cockroaches don't conspire, but because they have similar goals - it appears they do.
