This is a story about two judges- Robert R. Summerhays and Christopher Cooper. Summerhays was appointed by Donald Trump while Cooper was appointed by Barack Obama. They have handed down two rulings with very different perspectives and it says a lot about why they were appointed.
Summerhays granted a temporary restraining order halting Biden from lifting Title 42, which, by all accounts, would lead to a tsunami of illegal immigration, which is what democrats want despite the fact that it could lead to as many as 30 million illegals in the country by 2025.
A federal judge in Louisiana, appointed by former President Donald Trump, is expected to block President Joe Biden’s plans to end the Title 42 public health authority at the United States-Mexico border.
Weeks ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that on May 23 the Biden administration would end Title 42. The authority was first issued by Trump in 2020 and has allowed federal immigration officials to quickly return illegal aliens to their native countries after having crossed the southern border.
Soon after the announcement, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit arguing that ending Title 42 will place an undue burden on their states and that the administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) in doing so.
On Monday, Judge Robert R. Summerhays granted a temporary restraining order that is likely to prevent Biden from ending Title 42 while the case makes its way through federal court.
“Today, the court announced its intention to grant a temporary restraining order in Missouri, Louisiana, and Arizona’s lawsuit against the Biden administration over their planned suspension of Title 42,” Schmitt said in a statement.
“This temporary restraining order is expected to keep Title 42 in place until further court proceedings, a critical win for border security and the rule of law,” he continued.
Landry celebrated the decision, writing on Twitter that “Biden’s reckless decision to rescind Title 42 would have flooded our already stressed southern border with illegal immigrants.”
And the key:
“Fortunately, today a judge has granted our request to halt this enormous threat to our national security,” Landry said. “We will continue to ensure that citizenship means something and that those in this country illegally are not conferred greater rights than our citizens.”
Judge Cooper also handed down a ruling of his own:
A federal judge on Monday slapped limits on special counsel John Durham using the inaccuracy of Trump-Russia collusion claims in his prosecution of Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Sussmann was indicted last September for allegedly concealing his clients, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and Rodney Joffe, from FBI general counsel James Baker in September 2016 after pushing since-debunked claims of a secret back channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
Durham says Sussmann similarly concealed his client, Joffe, when he pushed further Trump-Russia collusion claims to the CIA in February 2017.
Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, said Durham would not be allowed to present detailed evidence from the CIA demonstrating the falsity of the Alfa-Bank allegations unless Sussmann argued that they were true.
Durham said he wouldn’t present such evidence if Sussmann refrained from arguing that it wasn’t false.
The judge said the defense team had promised at last week’s hearing it “will not seek to affirmatively prove the existence of a link between Alfa Bank and the Trump Campaign.”
There is a stark difference between these two rulings and the judicial philosophies of each. Cooper’s efforts are to limit the damage that could be done to the criminal Clinton campaign cabal. Summerhays’ efforts are to protect the country.
It doesn’t get any clearer than that.

DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
My concern is that citizens will take matters into their own hands if our Federal Government fails to uphold it’s mandate and keep our borders secure.
No one allows more people in and makes more citizens each year than the United States.
NO ONE.
We are the most open country, and we don’t need some nefarious and intentional displacement scam from a failed Federal Government trying to turn red states blue with their immigrants they are essentially using as voting slaves.
Hillary is claiming that though he is a lawyer and her lawyer–or one of her lawyers–that she’s not responsible for his actions while simultaneously claiming attorney-client privilege over their communications because she was his “client”/boss.
Durham sought to get his hands on certain materials but instead Hillary for America and Fusion GPS attempted to assert attorney-client privilege over them.
It was a trap and Hillary fell, full face plant, into it.
Judge Cooper’s ruling becomes irrelavant.
“If we still have to wear masks and get vaccinations, then controlling the spread of COVID at the open and uncontrolled border is important, too. Since illegal immigrants, crime and fentanyl flooding across the border is kill and costing Americans, this perfectly logical and rational LAW should remain in place.”
“Hey, this is a Clinton/Obama associate. You can show them a LITTLE guilty… just not REAL guilty.”
Yeah, one mindset looks out for the American people, the other mindset looks out for the corrupt leftist political elite. Democrats need to be purged from all offices.
The Republican blueprint to steal the 2024 election
J. Michael Luttig, appointed by President George H. W. Bush, formerly served on the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit for 15 years. He advised Vice President Mike Pence on January 6. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own.
A CNN opinion piece that holds states election rights in the constitution itself is obscure or little known.
What a sad ignorant little moron that wrote this. Even thinks the US is a democracy.
Desperate really as 2 full length documentaries on the fraud that was rife in the 2020 fiasco are about to be released,
We saw recently Biden turn and try to shake hands with all those 81 million voters, even then they had never existed just a figment.
Biden polls at 39% shows not only do Biden supporters Vote but also do polls.
Did you even bother to look up John Michael Luttig? He’s a life-long conservative Republican who was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit by George H. W. Bush. Prior to that, he was United States Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel.
The man knows whereof he speaks.
Apparently not.
That looks more like the Democrats trying to steal (again) an election by suppressing election integrity (again) and opening the door (again) to massive and widespread fraud (again).
STATE FARM ARENA… NEVER AGAIN
So Trump supporters can’t question the 2020 election but you find an article claiming Republicans will steal one in the future. I guess no one can question that either. I don’t think a steal will be necessary.
Looks like your bet on NY getting Trump suffered another blow. Makes you smile doesn’t it?
Well, yeah. You idiot conduct a four year insurrection, then bait and make a false-flag and say Jan. 6th was an “insurrection.”
You rig the election, then we stop the fraud, and then you’ll set up bullshit to say “THEY rigged the election.”
This ends in real civil war, unless Leftists stop. They are not honoring our democracy, they are taking over like autocratic goons.
Rep. Clay Higgins GRILLS DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas over border crisis
This is a brutal takedown of the dirtbag mayorkas. It shows the contempt he has for those who want to protect this Country.
Mayorkas, like the rest of the Democrats, knows he can just lie with impunity and nothing will happen to him. The truth holds no sway over Democrats; they hate it and fear it.
No Democrats mourn the NG soldier that died directly because of this regimes open border policies. The wall would have saved his and dozens of other lives.
