Trump-Appointed Judge Overrules Supreme Court, Says Trump Can’t Stop Flood at the Border
We’ve been thwarted again on the border – by yet another random judge. The bizarre part is that Trump himself appointed this judge.
The way these judges will claim that it is the law that our country has to be invaded by a horde is just totally incredible. The fact that this judge is effectively overruling the Supreme Court by using a technicality to make the rule have to go all the way back through the court system is really the most extreme case of this.
When this goes back to SCOTUS, they’ll again approve of it, but in the meantime there is nothing Trump can do. The way judges make these decrees, knowing that they’ll eventually get overturned, is similar to a false rape allegation: it costs them nothing to cause a whole bunch of problems.
This idea that any law can just be voided by any judge was obviously not what the framers of the Constitution wanted, this is just exploiting various loopholes.
>>U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly said the administration failed to follow the procedural law governing how regulations can be implemented, which requires advance notice and a period for the public to comment on the proposal.
>>“These procedures are not a mere formality,” Kelly, who was appointed by President Trump, said in his opinion.
>>The rule was implemented last year by the Justice Department and Homeland Security in an attempt to crack down on migrants from Central America trying to enter the U.S. It makes all applicants at the southern border ineligible for asylum unless they had previously applied from another country or are the victims of sex trafficking.
>>Hardy Vieux, an attorney at Human Rights First, one of the plaintiffs in the case, hailed the decision.
>>“Judge Kelly’s ruling is proof that the administration cannot do an end-run around the law,” Vieux said in a statement. “In the United States of America, we follow the rule of law, even when it benefits asylum-seekers demonized by this administration. We do not follow the rule of one capricious man, who treats the law as something on which to trample, on his way to a photo op.“
It’s just so tiresome.
The entire modern conception of “asylum” is sort of retarded, and was likely always going to be exploited like this. There is simply no reason a nation should be legally obligated to let anyone in. It’s a nice thing and not really a threat to say that on a case by case basis, you can give people asylum. This concept goes back a very long time. But a law that says the government is obligated to do so was meant to be exploited.
If Republicans weren’t literally the worst people on earth, they would have dealt with this in the 1990s, when approximately 10% of the population of Somalia was transferred from Somalia to Minnesota and Ohio because their country is poor. It was obvious then that this “asylum” is a political tool to change the demographics of America.
