Trump: I'll Abide by Courts If They Block My Agenda

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-administration-lawsuits/2025/02/11/id/1198740/

Fielding questions Tuesday from a pool of reporters in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump replied, when asked, that he would abide by court rulings blocking parts of his agenda.

 

"I always abide by the courts and then I'll have to appeal it. But then what he's done," Trump added, speaking hypothetically of a judge, "is he's slowed down momentum. And it gives crooked people more time to cover up the books."

 

"The answer is I always abide by the courts — always abide by them. And we'll appeal," he noted. "But appeals take a long time."

 

The president's reply comes amid lawsuits aimed at the Trump administration's dismantling of government programs as it seeks to cut wasteful spending. On Monday, The Hill reported that 22 states are suing the Trump administration to block the cutting of National Institute of Health research payments. Newsweek reported Thursday that government worker unions are suing the Trump administration amid its cut to USAID.

 

During the press conference, Trump suggested that if a judge is shown a "corrupt check" being sent out, they should block it.

 

"I would hope that if you go to a judge and show them, 'Here's a corrupt situation. We have a check to be sent. But we found it to be corrupt. Do you want us to sent this corrupt check to a person or do you want us not to give it and give to back to the taxpayer?' I would hope a judge would say, 'Don't send it; give it back to the taxpayer.'"

Appeals Court Won't Halt Judge's Order Requiring Trump to Unfreeze Federal Cash

A federal appeals court on Tuesday refused to halt a judge's order requiring the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in federal grants and loans. States say the money remains frozen even after a court blocked a sweeping pause on federal funding.

 

The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals turned back the emergency appeal, though it said it expected the lower court judge to act quickly to clarify his order.

 

The Justice Department argued the sweeping lower court order to keep all federal grants and loans flowing was “intolerable judicial overreach.”

 

That ruling came from U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island, the first judge to find that the administration had disobeyed a court order.

 

McConnell is presiding over a lawsuit from nearly two dozen states filed after the administration issued a boundary-pushing memo purporting to halt all federals grants and loans, worth trillions of dollars.

 

The plan sparked chaos in some quarters.

 

The administration has since rescinded that memo, but McConnell found Monday that not all federal grants and loans had been restored.

Danish Petition Trolls Trump, US on Buying California

https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/denmark-greenland-california/2025/02/12/id/1198766/

A lighthearted Danish petition to buy the state of California and "bring hygge to Hollywood" comes in response to President Donald Trump's talk about taking control of Greenland, a vast and mineral-rich Arctic island, from Denmark.

 

"Have you ever looked at a map and thought, 'You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates,'" the petition asks. "Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality."

 

The petition's website claimed over 200,000 signatures by midmorning Wednesday, with a goal of 500,000 signers, as well as "$1 trillion [give or take a few billion]. That's just 200,000 kroner from every Dane."

 

It is not clear how long the petition has been running and a representative did not immediately return a request for comment.

 

"It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation, so California will become New Denmark. Los Angeles? More like Løs Ångeles," the petition states.

 

While Løs Ångeles is a joke, another very Danish city in Southern California is real. Known as "the Danish capital of America," Solvang was founded by three immigrants from Denmark in 1911.

 

The city is popular with tourists, who come in droves for its aebleskiver pastries, Scandinavian windmills, a main street called "Copenhagen Drive" and, of course, a Hans Christian Andersen Museum to honor the famous Danish fairy tale author. Danish royals have visited several times over the decades.

 

But in 2019, Trump scrapped a trip to Denmark and said the cancellation was because Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen made a "nasty" statement when she rejected his first-term idea of buying Greenland as an absurdity. Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of the U.S. ally.

 

Trump, now in his second term, is doubling down. Before taking office last month, Trump said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the island, calling it vital to U.S. national security.

 

Frederiksen and Múte B. Egede, Greenland's prime minister, are pushing back again.

 

"Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic," Egede said at a news conference alongside last month Frederiksen in Copenhagen.

 

The president's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland last month and told citizens: "We're going to treat you well."

 

So Denmarkification decided to channel Trump's previous career as a real estate developer. The petition organizers already have big plans for Disneyland in Southern California.

 

"We'll rename it Hans Christian Andersenland. Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet? Yes, please," the petition states.

 

Of course, every petition needs some fine print, way down at the bottom:

 

"Disclaimer: This campaign is 100% real … in our dreams."

Sotomayor Calls for Cautious Approach to Court Decisions

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/trump-sotomayor-supreme-court/2025/02/12/id/1198784/

Wednesday, 12 February 2025 07:54 AM EST

 

 

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said presidents have historically obeyed judicial rulings with a few exceptions as she advocated for the court to move cautiously to maintain a system of checks and balances, but without directly referencing President Donald Trump’s efforts to test the limits of the executive power.

 

“By and large, we have been a country who has understood that the rule of law has helped us maintain our democracy,” she said Tuesday. “But it’s also because the court has proceeded cautiously, and has proceeded understanding that it has to proceed slowly.”

 

Sotomayor, a member of the court’s liberal minority, did not mention Trump. But her remarks come as top Trump administration officials are questioning the judiciary’s authority to halt the Republican leader’s changes over the past few weeks.

 

The response from the courts is related to Trump’s efforts to reorganize government agencies and reduce the size of the federal workforce. Judges have blocked Trump from moving forward with mass federal resignations and from implementing an executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship for anyone born in the U.S

 

Sotomayor spoke about the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison, saying it gives the courts the final say on the constitutionality of laws.

 

The justice, who was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama in 2009, said there have been a few exceptions for presidents not respecting the court's rulings. President Andrew Jackson ignored an 1832 Supreme Court decision that sided with the Cherokee against his forcibly removing them from their land and sending federal troops to evict them.

 

Last week, Sotomayor had already criticized how the conservative-led court has upended decades-old precedents. On Tuesday, Sotomayor told a Miami audience that doing so makes people feel discomfort with the court.

 

“We must be cognizant that every time we upset precedent, we upset people’s expectations and the stability of law. It rocks the boat in a way that makes people uneasy about whether they’re protected or not protected by the law.”

 

The court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, ending nationwide protections for abortion rights, a decision influenced by the three conservative justices appointed by Trump during his first term. The court also struck down affirmative action in college admissions.

 

Sotomayor said she was an advocate for the court to move more slowly.

 

“And if you’re going to undo precedent, do it in small measures. Let the society absorb the steps,” she said.

We did have about a 3 month period of no eggs.

First was due to moulting feathers, second stress from a stray cat, and third cold weather, below 20 here for a few days.

But like I say, they've picked up once again.
