Discussion: Trump Floats Breaking Up 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals

I was going to disagree with you, but that recent CNN Trump voters segment proves that you might be right about that.

I squirm every time I see him next to another world leader. I keep thinking,ā€œI can’t believe you have to interact with him.ā€ What an insult to humanity.

Have no doubt…they are milking this for as much misleading, misinformation campaign, agit-prop as they can possibly manufacture from it:

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/04/26/gregg-jarrett-judge-who-blocked-trumps-sanctuary-city-order-should-have-recused-himself.html

I don’t know who the bigger fucking hack is…Jarrett, Napolitano or that loudmouth Jeanine…but this article from Jarrett puts him in the lead for now. Complete and utter tripe…factless legal innuendo and froth…especially when you compare it to Thomas sitting gleefully on the bench for ACA cases while his wife collected 6 figures from activist groups who opposed it and the GOP/Teatrolls argued it was no biggy at all.

Trump clearly believes that, since he can’t get any legislation passed, he needs to keep feeding his base the pablum they cherish - void of fact, truth, rationality or logic.

But lots of ā€œstuffā€ that floats, apparently

Talk is cheap. Can’t these judges just disappear?

Based on what the Trump Administration is considering/thinking/floating, I’m good with them taking a nice 4-year in-office sabbatical.

I think what Trump really wants to say is he’s planning on disenfranchising the entire Western US. If he does break the 9th Circuit into two new Circuit courts, does he think he gets to fire all the nasty old liberal judges and replace them with those who have gone through their loyalty tests?

The graph I consulted is a little out of date. Must have been a momentary blip.

Recused himself? On what grounds? Morons.

ETA: From the same people who think nothing of the self-dealing, conflicts of interest, and ethics violations of 45 and its family, I’m sure.

Liberal judges always have to recuse themselves. Justice Thomas, on the other hand, can preside over matters wherein his wife is one of the parties.

I still remember the brightest bulbs of the fever swamp demanding Justice Kagan recuse herself from the marriage equality case because…umm…well, she looks like a lesbian with that short hair…and other totally valid reasons.

Oh hell !!! Just abolish ALL the courts lower than the supremes and let Rump flip a coin on that nickel-dime stuff. Remember … he has a great mind and he has the best words but nobody knew this shit was this complicated !!

Last i heard, California was the sixth largest economy in the world – in Trump’s mind that makes us a real drag on the treasury.

With the kind of economic reasoning he’s been showing, its easy to see why he had to run to the Russians to save himself from yet another banksuptsy.

This is one of Drumpf’s most overused ā€œtells.ā€ Translation: ā€œNobody I know of or can name agrees with whatever it is I’m saying.ā€

Its right up there with, ā€œBelieve me.ā€ Translation: ā€œYou cannot believe anything I am saying.ā€

I hope that supreme court justice’s are paying attention of how donald completely disrespects judges just because they don’t decide cases his way. To complain that a judge is too liberal but wanting to replace him with a republican juge just because he is a republican is partisan politics. He’s trying to make the country a one party country that benefits on himself and others like him. The swamp is becoming a corporation.

1 / This is what evil, narcissistic, swampy tyrants do.

2 / When can we start using the phrase ā€œCrooked Donaldā€ ? Is yesterday too late?

3 / More proof that he flunked 9th-grade Civics. Perhaps his pussy was being grabbed at the time by an upperclassman or teacher at prep school.

The problem is he only wants to disenfranchise the Blues. And any Independents that are suspected of voting while non-Caucasian. It’s a real pickle.
