Court of Appeals Estrogenic Hysteria Over MS-13 Terrorist!
The 4th Circuit court of appeals yesterday issued an order on MS-13 terrorist Abrego-Garcia that is absolutely horrific. It reads like a badly written soft-cover romance novel.
It is larded public policy aspirations that do not fall within the authority of the inferior trial courts, and imagines a speculative slippery slope that is nowhere to be found in the facts of the case before it.
All of that on a foundation of a horrifically flawed understanding of even the basic facts of the case before it.
It finishes by claiming the ultimate authority to govern the American people, with the Article II Executive Branch of government bound to bend the knee to whatever these unelected, black-robed, tyrannical inferior district trial court judges wish to levy upon us.
Our Founders did not create a nation in which were all to be ruled by Article III judges, least susceptible of all government branches to the political will of the American people. Especially when they rule not only without authority but out of ignorance.
Let’s break it all down!
