SCOTUS’s Refusal To End Leftists’
Judicial Coup Is Damaging Its Credibility
More Than The Media Ever Could

Not a day seems to go by without some activist lower court judge issuing an overreaching injunction blocking part of President Trump’s agenda. Throughout Wednesday and Thursday alone, judges across multiple venues handed down decrees barring numerous executive actions taken by the president since returning to office. From DEI to election policy, these cases are but a few of the more than 170 lawsuits Democrats and left-wing political actors have filed to sabotage Trump and the 77 million Americans who voted for him. Despite this clear effort to destroy American democracy via a judicial coup, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) seems to have no interest in stopping it

People should realize that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is a political chameleon that despises DJT and will go to great lengths(or lack of) to insure his failure. Roberts has drank from the Cup Of Power and met new "friends" on the Dark Side. His inaction is a sign of giving a thumbs up to the activist black robes that he adores. Your enjoyable swimming and diving with the Deep Swamp creatures resonates.

Two things are needed: Trump needs to disobey the judges until the SC fixes this - and the filibuster needs to end now.

It's no longer even arguable...the Supreme Court is a collaborating co-conspirator with the activist judges and the Democrat Party to deny the legally elected President of his authority to exercise his executive powers as explicitly set forth in Article II of the U.S. Constitution. We are witnessing an insurrection of the entire judicial branch of the government.

It is looking increasingly likely, perhaps obvious, that much of the supreme court has gone to the "dark side", as comment 2 suggests. Thankfully Lucianne posters mostly cling to what was once recognized as Sanity.

The SCOTUS has become a disgrace. Lower court justices have exceeded their authority and the Supreme Court has done nothing. By doing nothing they have allowed the activist judges to run wild obstructing the elected federal government. The obstruction is trashing the US Constitution.

While I am in agreement that the actions of the SCOTUS are defying the will of the voters, that is not my key concern. The will of the voters can LEGITIMATELY be denied in service of the Constitution. However, that is not the case here. The SCOTUS and the lower courts are breaking the Constitutional duty of the Judiciary. The actions that the courts are taking are outside their purview according to the Constitution. Such actions are the sole domain of the Chief Executive, for many good and well documented reasons. The President cannot run the country with the courts continually interfering with his actions. In addition, district judges do NOT have the legal standing to issue nationwide orders. They can order things for their district, no more. Only if the issue reaches the SCOTUS can a nationwide order be issued. This aberration is allowing the Left to venue shop liberal judges to get the decisions they want and then, illegally, apply it nationally. Both of these considerations make a mockery of the judicial system and THAT is something that could be very dangerous to a portion of the government, the judiciary, whose power is lies significantly in the hands of the other branches of the government and the public. If the public loses respect for the judiciary, there will not be any pushback if the judiciary is held to task. The Congress establishes and orders all courts below the SCOTUS. If a stronger Republican Congress were in place, there could be significant changes made to the lower courts. And, if the SCOTUS makes a ruling, it depends on the Executive to enforce it. If the SCOTUS debases itself, the Executive might leave some of the enforcement cooling off the stove and the public might not care all that much. The courts should not be in politics and, right now, it is clear that they are. They need to be slapped down for it.

Why are people surprised by the actions of the Supreme Court concerning activist's judges. This is the same Supreme Court that would not even look into the massive fraud of the 2020 election despite tons of evidence. Let's be honest, this Supreme Court is part of the deep state and is no different than the activist judges impending Trump's agenda.

From the stage at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., urged “mass protests … mobilization” and “disruption” so that Republicans “cannot know a moment of peace.” “Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now,” Pritzker said. “These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” Pritzker said. “They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on a soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.”

In his final act as pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Francis, in keeping with his deep commitment to the climate and well-cultivated image of personal humility, could have foregone a papal funeral. To the thousands of world leaders and dignitaries flying to Rome as required by international protocol, Pope Francis could have extended an invitation to stay home. He could have ordered he not lie in state, preventing the Vatican pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of faithful to pay their respects. He could have even skipped the motorcade through the streets of Rome. All this, as a memorable gesture to maintain a smaller carbon footprint — one last gift

As President Donald Trump’s trade policies take effect, record tariff revenues have begun flowing into U.S. government coffers. According to the April 24 Daily Treasury Statement, revenues from “customs and certain excise taxes” reached an all-time high of $15.9 billion in April, up 105 percent from a year ago. Most of the increase occurred on April 22, when $11.69 billion was collected.(snip) Trump told reporters on Air Force One this past weekend that he is “unlikely” to authorize a second 90-day pause.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, working in conjunction with local law enforcement in Florida, have arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants across the state in the past four days, the agency announced on April 26. While ICE has routinely conducted immigration enforcement operations throughout the United States, the agency referred to Florida’s effort, dubbed Operation Tidal Wave, as a “first-of-its-kind” effort pairing federal immigration authorities with state and local law enforcement resources. In their April 26 press statement, ICE pitched other law enforcement agencies on the idea of working with the agency, linking to a page promoting the 287(g) program.

Next year marks the 250th anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence — the semiquincentennial. Unfortunately, instead of a yearlong birthday party and a celebration of American history, the stage is being set for 2026 to be a year of neurotic self-loathing. The U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission (also called America 250) was created to provide national coordination for next year’s commemorative events. Ostensibly, each state and territory has also appointed its own independent committee to plan more local contributions to the festivities. In reality, a minimum of 14 states have adopted programming recommendations from a single non-profit called the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).

McLaughlin said that illegal immigrants still residing in the country must immediately use the CBP Home app to leave the country, or they will face penalties.“This includes a fine of $998 per day for every day that the illegal alien overstayed their final deportation order,” McLaughlin added.

There’s nothing to talk about here.” This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion.
