Trump needs to be able to control the Executive Branch. Otherwise what's the point of having an Executive?
Trump will fix it.

The USSC has said exactly that. Eventually Trump will win this one. Activist judges have decided to throw out the law in order to slow him down.

Birthright citizenship case at SCOTUS oral arguments are tomorrow. I know the scotusblog is sold to fake news now, and leans left but this is a nice write up on the matter/issues presented/outlook heading into that.
Quote:
The Constitution, the Trump administration argues, does not give federal judges the power to issue universal injunctions. Instead, the government contends, federal judges can only issue a judgment or order regarding the rights of the litigants in the case before them.

These kinds of universal injunctions, the Trump administration complains, "have reached epidemic proportions since the start of" Trump's second term. Indeed, it writes, federal trial courts "have issued more universal injunctions" and temporary restraining orders "during February 2025 alone than through the first three years of the Biden Administration." The large number of universal injunctions, the government says, has impeded the executive branch "from performing its constitutional functions before any courts fully examine the merits of those actions, and threatens to swamp this Court's emergency docket." (Notably, the president has issued far more executive orders in this period than any president in recent history.)

An alternative, the government suggests, would be for people who would be affected by the executive order to try to file a class action challenging the order and (among other things) seek temporary relief for the entire class. Doing so, the government observes, "avoids the asymmetric stakes of nationwide injunctions:" A ruling in a class action "binds the whole class," but if one challenger loses its bid for a nationwide injunction, that "does not stop others from trying again."
Separately, developing circuit split over AEA (and a couple nationwide injunctions of course) will wind up at the top court around June-July I'd guess, unless they somehow do promulgate new rules for nationwide injunctions after tomorrow's arguments over the above. Can 5 GOP-appointed justices stick together? I have no idea.

the problem is there are two reliable conservative votes and then three swamp-dwellers. Kavanaugh has been better than I thought he'd be for a guy who has been in DC for decades, but Roberts and ACB have been disappointing. Roberts is a problem b/c he's more worried about his legacy and being invited to as many cocktail parties as his liver will allow. ACB has gotten caught up in the bright lights of her office.

S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer will appear before the Supreme Court on Thursday to argue against the nationwide injunctions entered by the lower courts in three birthright citizenship cases. As I detailed Tuesday, the Trump Administration appears poised to score a win from the Supreme Court given that five justices in various concurrences and/or dissents have criticized nationwide injunctions.

Such a victory will be narrow, however, because the issue before the high court solely concerns the breadth of the remedy, namely whether the injunction should apply on a nationwide basis or be limited to the individual plaintiffs: The question of the constitutionality of President Trump's birthright citizenship executive order will await another day.

Complaint filed against judge in NY v. Trump.



This is rare, but I could see it actually having legs in this case, and get him to recuse himself.

More at the thread, and unlike in DC with Boasberg, I don't think he's in charge of the group that review these complaints/matters there, although he is the chief judge in Rhode Island, so I may be wrong (please let me know if so).

Yeah it sounds to me like that judge is just begging to be slapped by higher authority;
Quote:
The legal analysis in the original Injunction is just horrendous -- he completely misapplies Trump v. Hawaii.

He fails to appreciate that the Refugee statute authorizes POTUS to set a maximum number of allowable refugees, with no minimum number required. So the minimum number can be 0 -- which is what Trump did for the rest of this fiscal year.

But, as you noted, and as I wrote about earlier today in my Substack, the position he took yesterday with regard to a requirement that the Administration continue funding the Refugee NGOs not being covered by the Ninth Circuit stay is just asinine -- and a blatant mischaracterization.

The Motion for Emergency Stay filed by the Gov't dealt specifically with the funding provision in the Prelim. Injunction. That is covered at pages 14-17 of the motion.

Here is the specific language from the Ninth Circuit Order "Granting in Part and Denying In Part the Stay":

"The motion is denied to the extent the district court's preliminary injunction order applies to individuals who were conditionally approved for refugee status by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services before January 20, 2025....
In all other respects, the district court's February 28, 2025 preliminary injunction order is stayed. See Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U.S. 667, 684 (2018)."

There is simply no way to read this Order and come away thinking that the part of his Injunction directing the Administration to pay the NGOs was not subject to the Stay.
What else does "In all other respects" mean??

If he earnestly believes that, he needs to be impeached for incompetence.
Jamal N Whitehead is going to…lose, badly. Biden judge who made it out of judiciary 11-9, the second time. Collins Graham and Murkowsky were the 3 nominally GOP senators who voted for him.
Update: Judge Whitehead lost, badly, again.
Quote:
I probably shouldn't find this as amusing as I do, but the volleying between a district court judge in the Western District of Washington and the 9th Circuit has become highly entertaining. In the latest development, Judge Jamal Whitehead has now rescinded his order setting forth a "compliance framework" for the Trump administration that required them to begin the process of settling roughly 12,000 refugees in a week's time. This comes after the 9th Circuit issued another "clarifying" order essentially rapping Whitehead on the knuckles.

So, you get the sense that the appellate court was a tad exasperated with the plaintiffs' more expansive reading as to who was entitled to exemption from the EO. Nevertheless, Whitehead's subsequent order read as indignant and snippy, particularly toward the administration (but even a bit toward the appellate court). He characterized their interpretation of the 9th Circuit's prior order as "'interpretive jiggerypokery' of the highest order." He concluded that [emphasis added]:
Quote:
The third criterion requires that the individual "had arranged and confirmable travel plans to the United States" as of January 20, 2025. Not "had arranged and confirmable travel plans with a departure window within two weeks of January 20, 2025." Not "had imminent travel plans." Not "had travel plans like Plaintiff Pacito's." Just, "had arranged and confirmable travel plans." Had the Ninth Circuit intended to impose a two-week limitationone that would reduce the protected population from about 12,000 to 160 individualsit would have done so explicitly.
As anticipated, the administration quickly sought further clarification from the 9th Circuit (and, "in light of the increasingly contentious collateral proceedings over compliance in the district court," a complete stay of the district court's injunction).
On Friday, the 9th Circuit obliged and, in a very succinct order, again clarified that plaintiffs (and by inference, Whitehead) were again reading the scope of the exemption too broadly [emphasis added]:
Quote:
The government's Motion to Amend Order Granting a Stay, or, in the Alternative, for Clarification, Dkt. 61, is GRANTED IN PART, to the extent that we provide the following further clarification of our March 25, 2025 stay order, Dkt. 28, and our April 21, 2025 order clarifying the limited carveout from the stay, Dkt. 46. Our order should be interpreted narrowly, on a case-by-case basis, to apply to individuals with a strong reliance interest arising prior to January 20, 2025, comparable to Plaintiff Pacito. The government's motion is otherwise DENIED.
Now, the 9th, despite having its patience tried, didn't go so far as to grant a complete stay as requested by the government, but they did make it pretty clear that Whitehead again overstepped.

Message received, on Thursday, Whitehead issued an order rescinding his prior "compliance framework" order, narrowed to contemplate the roughly 160 refugees who met the three-part criteria and had travel scheduled within two weeks of the January 20, 2025, USRAP Executive Order."

Does judge usually ask so many questions of a witness? Also seems like judge is trying to micromanage.

Yeah, Reyes is obviously trying to develop the best testimony for the pre-determined opinion to follow.


As a reminder, Anna Reyes is the Biden judge (lesbian, anti-Hunter laptop investigation), confirmed eventually with 51 votes finally (even Murkowski/Collins couldn't stomach her), from Uruguay/Transylvania University. She will never provide an opinion that isn't leftist, and those she does provide will always be highly likely to be reversed on appeal. Perhaps only marginally more intelligent than KBJ.

If you followed the Judiciary hearings you understand just how unqualified most of "Biden's" nominees were. Had they been capable of such, they would have been embarrassed.

Sadly, the Rs will ensure Trump's nominees will at least marginally follow the law - unlike these political hacks in black robes. Dick Durbin's legacy.

Beryl Howell, Obama judge, Columbia law. The nicest thing I can say about her is that she took senior status in 2024 so she won't hear too many more cases. This won't hold up either.

The left installed her as a reliable vote only. They don't care that she is an imbecile. In fact, they probably prefer it.
