Good morning kids. Over the years we have all noted with disgust the actions of what we have referred to as Hawaiian judges (like Buch M. Danno and Mac A. Damia) in either reversing decisions of non-leftist jurists or otherwise negating conservative or GOP laws and rulings in jurisdictions completely out of their purview and authority. The Democrat Party is quite adept at using and abusing the Constitution as both a convenient shield and a cudgel, while doing all it can as the moral and actual equivalent of a foreign invader to set it and us alight like a snoozing straphanger in a NYC subway car.
There is no way to make meaningful reforms without challenging judicial supremacism
Absolutely goddam 100% right Daniel Greenfield. But the question is how given, paraphrasing the immortal Jimmy Durante "the conditions dat prevail.?"
Dems and their media have been shouting about a “constitutional crisis” for two weeks now. If you believe Rep. Jared Huffman, it’s even the worst constitutional crisis since the Civil War. But the actual constitutional crisis is once again proving to be a judicial coup. Democrat federal judges have blocked lawful moves by the Trump administration under various technical pretexts with the aim of upending legal presidential authority. We’ve already seen this during Trump’s first term, so it comes as no real surprise, but it’s even more aggressive out of the gate with leftist activists and leftist federal judges moving rapidly to try and block nearly anything that the Trump administration does. . .
There is no way to make meaningful reforms without challenging judicial review or more properly judicial supremacism, but nonetheless it’s clear that the crisis is approaching sooner than anyone expected. The judicial coup returns us to the fundamental question of who runs the government: elected or unelected officials, by way of the question of what powers the judiciary has and what powers it does not have.
The maddening irony of this sort of Catch-22 situation is that the Democrats created the unelected unofficial (and completely anti-constitutional bureaucratic state regardless of what the courts have said [which is the crux of the biscuit in the first place) and as such placed the Executive Branch in charge of it. So President Trump is wielding his authority as the head of said branch of government to do with this branch as he sees fit. Be it cutting funds or dismissal of employees. By some fucking Hawaiian hack-in-black blocking Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent from accessing Department records, the Judiciary is blatantly encroaching on the authority of the Executive Branch and usurping power.
The only reason they are doing this is because Trump and team are ironically using their authority to attempt to rip out root and branch the Bureaucracy that keeps Leftist/Democrats and their RINO stooges in control regardless of who is elected President.
As Ben Franklin fretted, "A Republic if You Can Keep It." Well, we're well past that for at least 80 years to a century between Wilson and FDR. In the intervening decades, beaus the Legislative Branch ceded its lawmaking authority and responsibilities to unelected bureaucrats while Judges abrogated their oaths in allowing the latter to issue rules and regulations on the citizenry with no real right to do so, the entire system has been turned on its ear and it has been made shall we say kosher for consumption and normalized for successive generations, so much so that any challenge to it brings about the harshest response.
Trump, Musk et al are to be praised for doing all they can to expose this and please God end it. Unless one is out of their minds, a Democrat Leftist (BIRM) or clueless and uninformed unwilling to take a good long look at the ugly truth, then what they are doing is the most crucially important work in at least getting us on the road and going us a chance at restoring some if not all vestiges of the Republic. Or at least some form of government that is in keeping with the spirit of '76 as we approach its 250th birthday.
So as Daniel Greenfield pondered earlier, how does Trump challenge if not defeat judicial supremacism? He can issue an Executive Order as he did in showing a crucifix to the undead zombified malinterpretation of the 14th Amendment granting birthright citizenship to any foreigner who spawns on our shores. But, that ultimately will wind up at the courts, and unless the court had 9 justices who were the living embodiment of Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Joseph Story we might have a shot. As we all know that is far from the case.
Having to rely on courts and justices that in the main abrogate their oaths for political expediency or other amoral reasons, at this stage is the definition of insanity.
Well, tweaking the immortal words of Leftist Superhero Joseph Stalin, "How many divisions does the Judiciary have?" It is way past time that the Spectre of Marbury v. Madison be exorcised. I know Musk is pushing to have these hack-in-black Hawaiian Judges de-frocked and kicked off the bench but it presupposes the political will of the GOP to lead the way to impeach them, and since the GOP sadly is also part of the problem my guess is this is a non-starter sadly.
Perhaps the more appropriate question to ask is not how many divisions do they have but how many do we and Trump have and if he and we are ready to be deployed. More to the point, If so then how so?
What Trump should do is draw a line in the and and declare the Judiciary completely out of order in usurping Executive Branch constitutional authority. Naturally this opens him up not only to impeachment but for sure conviction and removal from office even with a GOP-controlled senate since the latter enjoy the lll-gotten fruits of their sinecures (with few exceptions) and more importantly are fearful of having have to dodge CIA/FBI assassins' bullets and putting out the flames on their children's backs.
Also, at some point down the road, there ultimately will be another Democrat President the likes of which will make Obama look positively Reaganesque and they will either be successful packing the courts with hordes of Ruth Bader-Meinhoffs and other wise Latinas and/or removing Clarence Thomases at will on trumped-up charges. Or otherwise bastardizing Trump's decision to nullify a rogue Judiciary and ignore legitimate rulings (if they every occur again with a likely non-originialist bench).
I think we are truly at a major tipping point in the life of the Republic, as it is or perhaps as we wished it still was but is for sure no longer.
Trump is trying to restore something that perhaps cannot be restored, not with the ideologies and political sides as they are constituted.
These indeed are the times that try mens souls. Even with all of this to consider and it is indeed a frightening picture of, at least how I perceive, the state of play. Going on with successive administrations of Clintons, Obama/Bidens and Bush/Romney/McCains is unsustainable.
Whether it's DOGE, or the EO on tranny perverts in Women's sports, the military and deportations, Trump has got to do to Marbury what he did to birthright citizenship AND declare the Judiciary out of order (Like Al Pacino in "And Justice For All")
Perhaps as I mused and hope, the exposure of what USAID is and actually does might open a lot of heretofore closed eyes. Many years ago, while as a twice daily rider of the NYC subway (when all you risked was at worst a mugging if you rode the wrong line at the wrong hour and having to endure the stench of urine and burnt popcorn especially at the Union Square station, I often encountered a “Pan-tangler” (as the marginally-intelligent conductor mispronounced on the PA) who held out his hand and pleaded for a donation to “The United Negro Pastrami Fund). Every now and again, I gave him buck, just because it genuinely made me chuckle. Unlike USAID, I knew my money even here was well worth it.
Damn, if only I incorporated the UNPF as a 501C3 all those years ago, I'd be rolling in federal dough-rey-mi and well on my way to roasting in Hades come Judgment Day. Well, With DOGE on the job I guess I missed my shot. Hmm, maybe I can find Soros Junior and fake him out for a few dozen million…
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. (which is not the UNPF!). It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
