Federal Judge rails against Trump and blocks birthright executive order for second time
[LawAndCrime] ‘Clearly unconstitutional’: Federal judge tears into Trump for trying to ‘navigate around’ the ‘rule of law’ and issues nationwide injunction against birthright citizenship ban
Judge Shopping™
In a Seattle courtroom late Thursday morning, Ronald Reagan-appointed U.S. District Judge John Coughenour issued a nationwide injunction from the bench prohibiting the government from enforcing the executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 20.
A necessary step, because this needs to be elevated to the US Supreme Court as quickly as possible. No doubt a number of other Trump executive orders are intended to go through the same process of federal court injunction followed by the administration appealing for a Supreme Court ruling — some President Trump will win, some will need to be rewritten to address Supreme Court concerns, and some will need to go through Congress. And the sooner they know what needs more work, the better for the country.
The judge had sharp words for the effort to do away with the long-established constitutional right — an effort that has itself become sharply divisive.

“It has become ever more apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals,” Coughenour intoned. “The rule of law, according to him, is something to navigate around or simply ignore.”
Look, I am a 2nd generation Mid-East Europe immigrant. My Grandparents came as Indentured servants (forced labor), via Ellis Island. I myself am married to a sweet Caribbean Indian. She is 1st generation herself.

But I still make the argument for the long held legal precedent that NO criminal can be, nor should be enriched by their illegal acts.

Illegals sneaking into the USA, with the sole goal of having a baby on US Soil, to milk the system for life, is the same thing.

ONLY those that have applied in a proper legal manner should be "Considered”.

#2 Technically as the amendment is written, the order is unconstitutional. It is up to the Supreme Court to decide if you commit a crime to have an anchor baby here if the crime makes the citizenship null and void.

#4 What would Andrew Jackson do?

In 1830, he signed the Indian Removal Act. This act, which has been described as ethnic cleansing, displaced tens of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands east of the Mississippi and resulted in thousands of deaths.

Andrew Jackson was a key figure in the founding of the Democratic Party,

President Andrew Jackson signed the 1830 Indian Removal Act, which started the Trail of Tears and other force marches.

Which resulted in about 20,000+ American Indian deaths.
Due to the piss poor way the Democrat administration handled marching the people 1,400+ miles, poorly supplied them and placed them in a strange new, freezing prison environment with no shelter or supplies.

TRUMP'S plan greatly differs in that it would return those persons ILLEGALLY here to their original Homeland, using modern transport and food. Plus the US is already giving Foreign Aid these offending nations. Plus there will likely be give relocation $$$ to keep the liberals and MSM happy.

#6 The point he told a judge "sod off swampy!". With samples of judicial activism whenever we open a newspaper, this is a valuable approach.

#7 Article this morning - the business about a Fed court putting out a nation-wide injunction is bogus; only authorized to address the actual plaintiff.
