SCOTUS strikes again, and now it’s apparently time for leftist judges to begin defying their own High Court. Yesterday, ABC ran a story headlined, “Supreme Court allows Trump to resume speedier 3rd-country removals but Boston judge says detainees in Djibouti still protected.”
In the latest victory for the Trump Administration, yesterday SCOTUS lifted a nationwide stay on summarily deporting criminally convicted illegal aliens to unpleasant foreign destinations that the government chooses. A Boston district judge, Brian Murphy, had enjoined the removals because, he said, each illegal must be given notice and a chance to get free NGO lawyers and tie their cases up for years in legal red tape.
The Supreme Court’s short decision did not explain its reasoning. But the three liberal justices scrawled scathing dissents, all but accusing the majority of crowning Trump as King of America. For his part, Judge Murphy threw a tantrum and promptly entered another order, again blocking the eight men from removal to Sudan, this time under a different theory and citing a previous order on his docket.
Hilariously, in his terse, one-sentence order, he also cited Sotomayor’s dissent— a judicial non-starter.
In response, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller accused Judge Murphy of rank insubordination. “Expect fireworks tomorrow when we hold this judge accountable for refusing to obey the Supreme Court,” Miller promised Fox News.
The dissents were goofily priceless. “This Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied,” Justice Sotomayor snarled. “I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion.”
Trina Realmuto, executive director of a pro-illegal NGO, was horrified. She sobbed, “The ramifications of Supreme Court’s order will be horrifying; it strips away critical due process protections that have been protecting our class members from torture and death.” Maybe they should have considered that before they came here and victimized Americans.
My best guess is that, with Murphy technically defying the Supreme Court’s order, the Administration will likewise defy Murphy, and resume nationwide deportations per SCOTUS. This case touches a key part of the Administration’s mass deportation strategy: the deal.
The deal is: self-deport and we’ll fly you anywhere you want. But if you stay, and we catch you, you’ll go someplace you won’t like very much. In leg irons. Not a joke, as the good old Cabbage would say.
In that sense, criminal illegal aliens already have notice. They can relocate themselves outside the U.S. and then enjoy whatever due process they want. Sue to get back in if they want. Just stop complaining about it.
Follow SCOTUS and tell lower judges to pound sand.
The myth of judges following/obeying the law was obliterated wit “Wizzer’s” confirmation 1962. it was why “Bush Republicans” BORKED Bork 1987. For those <60 the “Bush Republican” leading the Borking was “Snarlin” Arlen. 2 leftist Presidents named George rewarded “Snaarlin” with not 1, not 2, BUT 3 CHAIRMANSHIPS!
Remove this ” Judge ” immediately! Disbar this above the law idiot!
