NOTHING "ROGUE" about judges slapping down Trump's ridiculous "legal arguments." LMAO

Quote
REAKING: A federal judge incinerates the Trump administration for demanding that she recuse herself from a case challenging a MAGA executive order that targets a Democratically-connected law firm.
This scathing response is a thing of beauty...
"When the U.S. Department of Justice engages in this rhetorical strategy of ad hominem attack, the stakes become much larger than only the reputation of the targeted federal judge," wrote District Judge Beryl Howell.
"This strategy is designed to impugn the integrity of the federal judicial system and blame any loss on the decision-maker rather than fallacies in the substantive legal arguments presented," she added.
Trump signed an executive order suspending the security clearance of employees at the firm Perkins Coie — and pointed to its DEI practices as the reason.
The obvious real reason for the EO is that Perkins Coie is known for working with the Democratic Party, including legal efforts for Democratic campaigns. True to felonious form, Trump is abusing the powers of the presidency to target his rivals.
His Justice Department wants Howell to recuse herself from a case challenging that order and has launched a ludicrous smear campaign targeting the judge's behavior in other cases to claim that she has an anti-Trump bias.
In her rejection of the recusal request, Howell pointed specifically to the first line in the DOJ's motion in which they wrote of a "need to curtail ongoing improper encroachments of President Trump’s Executive Power playing out around the country."
"This line, which sounds like a talking point from a member of Congress rather than a legal brief from the United States Department of Justice, has no citation to any legal authority for the simple reason that the notion expressed reflects a grave misapprehension of our constitutional order," wrote Judge Howell.
"Adjudicating whether an Executive Branch exercise of power is legal, or not, is actually the job of the federal courts, and not of the President or the Department of Justice," she continued, adding "though vigorous and rigorous defense of executive actions is both expected and helpful to the courts in resolving legal issue."
She slammed the Justice Department's "blanket denigration of the merits of all the lawsuits" that have been filed against the Trump administration.
"This larger concern about the overall damage to the rule of law and the federal judicial system from the feckless impugning of the decision-making process of individual federal judges has prompted Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., to criticize ‘regrettabl[e] … attempts’ by '[p]ublic officials … to intimidate judges,’ including by ‘suggesting political bias in the judge’s adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations,’'" wrote Howell.
This is what we need from all of our judges right now. The time is stand up to fascism is now. We can remain a nation of laws, but only if our judicial leaders have the courage to defend the Constitution.

There's no guarantees but they do however have the right to ask for it

Read Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 

Article 14
Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

 

That's a un document ( no link i notice) and isnt' binding on the states. Theres' no penalty if they just ignore it 

So they don't really have that right. 

There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

It's really quite simple: 

Anyone caught harboring illegal aliens needs to be charged with aiding and abetting. 

Any state governor that actively supports illegal immigration should be removed from office (Kathy Hochul, for example). 

Any federal judge that actively supports illegal immigration should be removed from his seat. 

Any politician that supports illegal immigration should be removed from office. 

There needs to be zero tolerance while Trump cleanses our streets of criminal invasion.
