Judge to Trump-terminated ethics watchdog: You’re un-fired

[ColdHardTruth]

Dump stopped again.

Another Dump order has been blocked by the courts.

[Mr Person]

"Stopped"? No, ordered to stop.

We'll have to see what he and the federal employees actually do.

Interesting. It looks like instead of an elected Chief Executive we have appointed judges that are now in charge of the government.

No, we have judges who are preventing Trump from violating the law.

No one person is "in charge" of our government.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

Dellinger, an appointee of President Joe Biden

That does it! A leftist, woke judge, a Biden puke (to quote someone who uses this slight often), a corrupt judge, a Trump "hater", suffering TDS, he needs to be deported now!

Sounds more to me that these judges are ignoring the law that's already in place.

You are wrong as usual.

Trump is abusing the office, and those judges are putting a stop to it.

 

[Lutherf]

That's true. That's why we have three co-equal branches of government with three different roles. The role of the Judicial branch is interpretation of the law, not managing the decisions of the Executive branch.

WRONG.

The Judicial Branch has the authority to stop executive overreach. They always have.

Dump doesn't like it because he wants unchecked power.

Well, they really should identify that "overreach" before they stop it. I'm not really sure that an Executive branch decision regarding an agency of the Executive branch constitutes "overreach".

And when the judicial branch correctly interprets laws, determining that the President’s action is unlawful, what do you suggest should happen?

You're assuming that the Judicial branch decision is correct.

Not quite. Judges decide if people’s actions are lawful.

I provided you with a generic scenario.

What do you suggest should happen?

Assuming that the president violated the law then the next step is impeachment.

What law?

We'll see how long this kind of judicial activity lasts. That the judicial branch thinks they can take over a co-equal branch (for doing its job), is crazy.

 

[Greenbeard]

What law?

5 U.S. Code § 1211 - Establishment

Does the president have to obey the law or not?

Yep, and managing and directing the Executive branch is precisely what the judicial branch is thinking they can do. They think they can actually prevent the Executive branch for doing its job. They will end up quite wrong, IMO.

 

[Helix]

No, we have judges who are preventing Trump from violating the law.

One of the upsides to this utter disaster is that you never have to have law and order discussions with the far right

Ever.
Again.

I mean, unless there's entertainment value or something.

 

[Felis Leo]

Unless the Executive Branch engages in unlawful or unconstitutional actions.

Judes doing what they are constitutionaly supposed to do.

 

[Felis Leo]

Does the president have to obey the law or not?

If his Party holds control of Congress, clearly not.
