Keep an eye on Russ Vought. He was just confirmed. He is the author of Project 2025.
He is also the guy that defied congress previously by witholding Congressional funds for Ukraine (Trump's 1st impeachment). So he has shown a fondness for disobeying other coequal branches of govt. He could well be the guy that tells trump to blow off his court orders.
Of the many important actions President Trump has taken since reclaiming the Oval Office last month, sealing the borders and rounding up criminal illegal aliens for Gitmo prison cells and deportati…
pretty succinct and accurate. Only question is if Captain Constitution Killer will start ignoring courts. I'm sure he will - every autocrat does. My guess is that he tries to remove a bunch of federal judges and that makes others too afraid to rule against the WH. I mean everything trump feels and wants to do was already done by autocrats already. Easy to predict. Wars on voting, urban elites, journalists and courts. All here or coming.
Longtime U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, took umbrage at a plan to undermine birthright citizenship and pointedly wrote in his ruling, "It has become ever more apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals. The rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore.”

Federal Judges have lifetime appointments. They would just ignore his firings.
It’s much easier to just blow off their orders.
A judges orders only have bite if all parties share respect for the authority they have through the constitution. Trump and his project 2025 crew do not. Judges could file contempt rulings but this would need to be enforced by the DOJ. Pam Bondi has already signaled through her insane memos that anything negative against Trump is considered weaponization.
Would it trigger a constitutional crises? That would mean congress is motivated to take action. Good luck with that one.
Glad you posted this. Unfortunately, you did it without registering a username. We can always come back to this post when then geniuses have had a year in office and check on their results!
Nice to see so many traitors to America who downplay the genocide of the Palestinians using American weapons.
how on earth did you manage to make 14,500 posts about a (globally) relatively minor conflict 10000 miles away from you
go for a run man
Minor!
You sick person.
Hundreds of billions of our tax dollars in the past 77 years have resulted in this long planned genocide of millions of Palestinians (and Iraqis, Libyans, Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians, Iranians) all for a tiny foreign nation.
As Gazans starve and freeze, US approves $7.4bn weapons sale to Israel – Ceasefire Day 19
Rs sending up trial balloons on whether there should be any judicial check on the president. Rs HATE this country. Loathe it. They should just leave. We need to elect some conservatives who want to protect this nation's institutions not destroy them one by one.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) argued on CNN Sunday that the Constitution gives President Trump the power to make the decisions he feels are best for the country, checks and balances from Congress and the courts be damned. Inside Politics host Manu Raju asked Jordan about a Reagan-appointed federal judge who argued "the president is going too far" on policy changes like rescinding birthright citizenship. "I'm talking about, there's a pattern wherejudges are saying they're going too far on these issues," Raju pressed after Jordan argued it was "just one judge" who blocked Trump's order to end birthright citizenship.
"All I know is, again, Article Two, Section One, the very first sentence, 'The executive power shall be vested in a president,'" Jordan said, citing the Constitution. "I think it's important, 'a president of the United States of America,' not in bureaucrats, not in career people — in the president. The guy who put his name on the ballot."

Murica!
I'd bet somewhere in project 2025 there is a plan to get rid of federal judges or make them irrelevant.
Maybe just ignoring them and using a pet FBI to stay out of the fight.
But the authoritarian playbook is always to destroy the independent judiciary of a nation(along with the free press and the vote) so I'm sure the Republicans have a plan to destroy our federal judge system and its authority over King Con.

ok just saw the radical right's plan: just impeach any Fed judge in their way. Just tell Johnson, Thune and the right wing bootlickers to automatically impeach any judge who dares stop King Donny 1. They'll do it. They may not get convictions, but you'll stop the next judge from getting in the way of the coup. Fear is the main tool of authoritarians.
Tech billionaire and the anchor of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk is calling for the impeachment of the federal judge who made a decision early Saturday morning that the Treasury Department should block access to anyone “other than civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties” from its payment systems.

What did you think he was going to do?
It’s not like you weren’t warned.
What does what I thought would happen if Trump was elected have to do with Israel's committing genocide?
Hell, you probably support the genocide so what are you criticizing?

Trump would love to get his court cases in front of his allies in the scotus.
But there is a teeny weeny obstacle that would prevent that. Trump would need to present some coherent legal argument based on law or precedent.
Trump claiming he won in a landslide and gets to do whatever he wants doesn’t work in the courts of appeal.

You mean the 2,000 year old problem that will never be solved? Frankly I don’t pay attention to it. Why, because both sides have proven that they are nuts over and over again.
You are just as nuts, the only reason you are here crying is because you’re on the current losing side. I don’t recall you being all that upset with the hostage taking event that caused the most recent flare up.
I think you are naive about Trump and I think it’s sad that it takes him rubber stamping genocide for you to see what a turd he is.

Zionsism is only @ 130 years old.
End it and the problem is solved.
The world is on the losing side as long as it coddles and abets the genodical maniac state of Israel.
Seems you are okay with the genocide so why would you oppose Trump on this?
I feel more optimistic about this country than I have since Reagan was President. We are destroying all the trappings of the liberal/DEI/Woke society. I am so glad we have been able to escape their suffocating grasp. America will get our manufacturing back. We will get our swagger back. The villains of the world order will learn to fear us again. America has a man who will wield a big stick and the world's richest man to help him. This is a dream team. I do not understand those who do not realize how powerful we can be if we speak with one voice. Trump understands and he is that voice. Listen, learn and prosper.
Fortunately, enough of Congress puts the country above their personal power, and he’ll be impeached.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one!
President Trump will be impeached if and when the Dems retake the House, not before. There is literally nothing he could do that would get the GOP-majority House to impeach him. He could blow his son's head off with a shotgun and the House would not vote to impeach.
I know. I didn't mean it as a sarcasm test. But I guess you never really know.

Oh, but I did want to specify that it might matter WHICH son? Eric and Donny Jr. are clearly old enough and unlikable enough NOT to trigger an impeachment. Barron, being so young, might stand a 1 in 100 chance of triggering an impeachment. Because current Rs are THAT decent and strong.
