Coup d’etat

      Comments Off on Coup d’etat

Saving democracy!  This is the latest tactic by the Deep State to protect its own survival.  Lie about the activities of the current administration.  Rant about authoritarianism.  Do whatever it takes to block the will of the people.

This time the coup is the form of activist judges who are ignoring clear precedent.  Who are ignoring clear lines of jurisdiction.  Who are ignoring the clear definitions in the Constitution about the roles of the three branches of government.

And this was planned for.  Listen to Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

The Communists Democrats know that the Supreme Court only handles about 50 cases a year.  By overloading the lower courts, the Democrats hope to stop this administration from implementing its agenda.

And they are overloading those courts with frivolous cases.  When they get a favorable ruling at the district level because of some yahoo judge that they appointed and know that it will be overturned at the appellate level, they try to withdraw the case.  This is not how the system is supposed to work.

Of course, Schumer made no mention of this.  As cases get to higher levels, many decisions are being overturned.  In the end Schumer’s vaunted 85% is likely to be under 20%.

What can be done to stop this abuse of our justice system?  If it is not stopped, respect for the judiciary will disappear.  Some people are already at that point.

It would be appropriate for the Chief Justice to step in and lay down the law.  As Texas Rep. Brandon Gill noted, “If the Chief Justice wants to maintain the credibility that our courts have enjoyed for 200 years, then he needs to step in and overturn this quickly. The American people are NOT going to sit around and wait for a long, lengthy court process to give the President the power he already has!”

Will this happen?  It seems unlikely although it is always a difficult task to predict how the Supreme Court will act on any issue.

We must think outside the box.  We must use whatever legal methods there are to put a stop to this nonsense.  We must explore every possible way to return the judicial branch of the government to its defined role within the Constitution.

Sundance over at The Conservative Treehouse has some thoughts on this subject:

It’s important to remember that the inferior courts do not work for or report to the Supreme Court.

CONGRESS creates the inferior courts and as such, Congress can eliminate courts, add courts, and control funding of the courts. Congress also can impeach. And a key element of impeachment is the hearings process.

A hearings process that subpoenas Federal district court judges to testify before Congress would cast a lot of sunlight on the corrupt Judicial-Lawfare-Complex.

Could the end result be impeachment? Certainly, but that’s not necessarily the goal.

It could also lead to something better in the long run: descope of the Federal court system which has grown bloated, corrupt, and arrogant because it answers to nobody.

They’re the 3rd branch of government for a reason – they are not elected by anyone and therefore hold the least amount of power when it comes to governance. SCOTUS doesn’t even control their own budget. They can’t levy taxes. They can’t declare war. They can’t decide what constitutes citizenship.

The answer to all of this is sunlight.

Simply compel Boasberg to testify in open public hearings about his role in Lawfare and his interpretation of the Federal district court’s ability to direct the actions of the Commander in Chief, issue “nationwide injunctions” and so forth. Then let’s get into his direct role in Lawfare.

Roberts wants to pretend impeachment of Boasberg is about a “political disagreement”, but it is not.

This is a judicial coup d’etat we are witnessing. And the only way to stop it is to descope the judiciary and limit its ability to issue injunctions.

If crimes are discovered, such as aiding and abetting terrorist organizations, the judges should be removed. Judges can “obstruct justice” too. They are not Jesus in black robes. They are every bit as tempted by corruption (perhaps more so because they are deemed infallible by the Chief Justice) as any politician.

Impeach Boasberg. Start there. Start the process…

As Sundance noted, succeeding with an impeachment is most likely not going to happen.  However, the process should reveal more corruption in the bowels of our government.  A sharp legal mind could shred many of these decisions in front of the world.  As Sundance said, let’s start with Boasberg.
