WTF hasn't this issue been settled by now. This current situation should MORE than warrant SCOTUS taking up the issue in an expedited manner.

I’ll never understand why lower courts can override nation policy from the executive.

They can't and his advisors keep telling him he's not allowed to do x, y or z when he can. Like Andy Jackson said of one Court Ruling, "He's made his decision.....now let him enforce it!". Trumps the Executive. The same setup that allows Sanctuary Cities allows him to just go ahead and do what's needed and if a Court says otherwise he can just point at the Constitution and say "Nah!".

Only the Executive Branch can Enforce the Law. Part of those pesky "Checks and Balances". To execute the Law, Trump is authorized under the Constitution to "call forth the militia" and I believe it's high fucking time he did it. Anyone who resists gets charged with sedition.

You are not wrong. However President Trump's strategy and plan involves rarely meeting the opponent and fighting him head on. For example opponent starts a special counsel he doesn't start a special counsel against them.

He rolls with their punches. If they set the agenda, rather than try to use facts, logic and reason to counter their facts like Ron Paul would he gets out in front of their agenda and tries to steer it back to normalcy.

Did you notice he didn't put a blockade on China from day 1? He could have. He would have been justified. But his strategy is to slowly make everybody see things his way.

It can be frustrating, I wanted all the criminals put in jail 3 years ago. If he ignored the courts they would have said he was a dictator and many moderate types who will vote for Trump but perhaps aren't huge fans would have been scared of him. Like they scared now of the Chinese virus.

All I know is no other man I know would have been able to take all these blows he has. I trust him, he has to think about the long term future of the country.

Militia truly means the armed citizenry. It's the common man.

Yes, this.

Claiming that "the militia" means only the National Guard is the way that forked-tongued commies try to invalidate the Second Amendment.

Militia. The body of Armed Citizens tasked with defending their community, state or Nation who can be used to enforce the Law when required. Such as in The Whisky Rebellion when George Washington called forth the Militia to put down the Rebellion and enforce the Tax that Congress had passed. They marched on the Rebels and told them to knock that shit off or we're prepared to use force which in your cases means we'll shoot you if we have to.

The office of The President is quite powerful and Congress cannot remove those powers by law. Only grant permission to do more on behalf of Congress such as the War Powers Act. Trump can, this very day, create another Law Enforcement Agency tasked with enforcing compliance with Federal Law and form a Militia consisting of whomsoever the fuck he wants to back them up. Period. This whole fucking mess could have been solved 3 years ago. FBI records could have been gotten with this new agency kicking in their doors and just taking them and if anybody tried to stop them they'd be shot. Period. Same with the DOJ.

They've all challenged the power of The Executive and therefore need a complete and thorough beatdown to let future personnel know who's in charge. Until that's done.....The Swamp Wins by Temporal Attrition. That pretty much means that the clock runs out and they get the ball back so to speak. Then we're all fucked because everyone's too chickenshit to do anything.

SPEZ: Hey...downvoted. One of you Fed Glowniggers upset that someone might know the law and push you and your kind off to the side? Take away your powers? You think we'll be on your side? You were tasked with enforcing the Law. You're actively engaged in subverting that very same law and ensuring those who want THE LAW ENFORCED are arrested and harassed. Surrender now and start enforcing the law and we might go easy on you. If not then you'll stand trial with the rest of them.

The national guard. However, the NG is Government funded. To me, that isn't a militia.

As far as I know, they can't...but legally it has not been tested. Executive yields whichbis bad imo. I am hoping after the next SC appointment he simply ignores district injunctions. "You made your ruling...now enforce it."

I thought I saw an effort to stop lower courts from making nationwide stays of policy.

I imagine that’s how it should be. State level courts can override state level legislation while Supreme Court takes care of nationwide affairs

Maybe karma will infect these judges for their short sighted selfish decisions.

We need to stop this fucking bullshit where a low level civil servant judge can block executive orders of the president of the United States. Enough of this crap

Just proves that those "Activist" Judges are just as Stooopid as the Gov and Mayor..!

From a legal standpoint, I think the best way to stop this judge is to have someone who got sick from corona, sue them and claim they increased the odds they would have it. Their grandstanding and faux moralizing directly affected them. And I think they'd have a case.
