Column: United States attends to a constitutional crisis


Congress is intimidated; That is a supposedly coeual branch of the government. But federal courts are demonstrating to be more resistant to the trampling of laws and the constitution of Donald Trump. Now, only two months in office, the president has crossed the red line, challenging the order of a judge, which for more than two centuries has separated the rule of law in this country from its ruin.

People have pursued he Movements From the planes that took more than 200 Venezuelan migrants from southern Texas to El Salvador on Saturday night, to demonstrate that they were high or took off. after A federal judge ordered deportations and the return of the planes on the road. They have also analyzed the denials of the president who ignored the Court, since in the next breath he falsely claimed That the judge of “Radical Left”, James E. Boasberg, main judge of the United States District Court of the Columbia district, had no right to tell him what to do.

“I think at some point you have to start seeing what you do when you have a dishonest judge,” Trump told Laura Ingraham in Fox News on Tuesday night.

Rebel judge? More projection of a dishonest president.

His part of Malarkey Constitutional during stellar schedule was reserved on a Tuesday that began with a deranged social network. rant Including this dozy: “This judge, like many of the crooked judges, is forced to appear before, should be accused!” Obediently, a republican member of the camera Political trial articles against Boasberg. Then, the president of the Supreme Court of the United States, John G. Roberts Jr., educated both the congressman and the president, issuing a rare statement of what should be obvious: “The political trial is not an appropriate response to the disagreement of a judicial decision.”

But Trump will not be educated. Wednesday had only minutes when he aware In social networks that the “lunatic” “Boasberg wants to assume the role of the president.”

The analysis can stop. Indeed, and apart from the denials, Trump and his lieutenants challenged the law: Venezuelans are deported and locked in a notorious saving prison, seen shaved and mistreated in A video that the officials and supporters of the Administration shared deliciously. They did not face legal positions, evidence or procedures to demonstrate that, in fact, they are ganglings and murderous terrorists as Trump states (and numerous family members deny). Trump's officials also mockingly shared President Salvador tweet In a news headline about Boasberg's order to stop deportations: “Oopsie … too late.”

The constitutional crisis that many feared of a vindictive and reassessing triumph is here. Even the White House agrees, although its deformed definition: “The constitutional crisis is not in the executive branch. It is in the judicial branch,” a spokesman saying – Only underlines the real crisis of the rule of law and the separation of powers.

The president of the Supreme Court Roberts should have been more direct, calling Trump by name for the excessively overvalued constitutional limits and undermining faith in court. Perhaps Roberts stopped, knowing that the case of deportation and others will go to his bank, as the White House intends. (“And let's win,” a unidentified high -level official agreed to Axios.)

Politically, Trump and his toads believe they have already won. “If the Democrats want to argue in favor of turning a plane full of rapists, murderers and gangsters back to the United States, that is a fight that we are more than happy to take,” the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt trim. This calculation could be correct, given the anguish of voters about immigration and Deportation Support Yeah The deportees are guilty of crimes beyond entering the country illegally.

The case of Venezuelan migrants is not Trump's only challenge for the courts. He has been choosing fights since January 20, seeking to expand his powers when facing a variety of unpopular objectives, not only alleged criminal migrants but also federal employees, American trans and refugees.

The Trump administration tried to deport Pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalila legal resident, until a federal judge intervened to insist on due process; Remains stopped. This week, the administration Sport RHODE ISAND RASHAHIEH DOCTOR for alleged sympathies for Hezbollah, claiming that her border agents did not know the order of a judge who blocked the action.

Trump has also attacked three law firms expressly expressly in compensation for their representation of their political enemies: eliminating lawyer security authorizations, provoking them from federal buildings and threatening their federal contracts. “We have many law firms that we are going to look for,” he told Fox News, without paying attention to the fundamental right of Americans to advise.

“He sends me small chills” saying The judge in the demand of a company. Mine too.

Administration officials are dodge judicial orders Against the massacre of federal workers and agencies created by the law created by law. Trump on Monday threatened Action against the “political thugs” in the committee of the Chamber of January 6, specifically declaring that the preventive forgiveness of President Biden of some of them was “without more strength or effect.”

Trump likes Pyral note That federal judges, unlike him, are not chosen. It is not that I knew, but this is how the founders intended, to isolate the Judicial Power of political pressures.

We hope it works.
