GOP moves to impeach lawfare judges trying to stop Trump

"I'll get you, Donald Trump"

Margaret Brennan probably knows that a leftist district judge in a Rhode Island backwater can't stop a US president from conducting his Article II powers. And now congressional GOP members aren't sitting back and allowing the lawfare to rule the nation. They are finally moving to impeach two judges whose trite and conflicted rulings have thrown a wrench into President Trump's agenda.

Trump has promised to follow the court's decisions until they are eventually reversed, whether by regular federal appeals courts or by the U.S. Supreme Court. Someday.

To stop what they call a "judicial circus," the Republican Party wants to emphasize that an activist Democrat judge who can't write clear decisions shouldn't be on the federal bench. They also want to point out that a judge who manages his own non-profit organization shouldn't be deciding whether President Trump can stop funding to other non-profits. 

This seems fair.

Republican members of Congress have started actions to impeach two judges who have blocked President Trump's policies. These judicial actions are being guided by Norm Eisen, famous for the Letitia James New York legal drama that was a big hit with the left, and Andrew Weissmann, who led the unfounded "Russia! Russia! Russia!" legal attacks against Trump. Both appear regularly on MSNBC, which some call the "court of clowns."

So now we have to sit back and wait to see how it all pans out. I would not be surprised to see Republicans coming out on top.

Make your move, your bold move Republicans.

Now that the problem is in her backyard, NY Gov. Hochul says border is “too open right now"

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has finally seen what it means to be a so called “sanctuary” for illegal migrants flooding into the state and cities. When the problems you caused are elsewhere and you sound more virtuous and tolerant than those who live in the places where the problems migrated to, that’s just fine. But when the problems you caused come back to haunt you and possibly become an obstacle for you to remain in power, well, you have second thoughts. 

In Hochul’s case, she now wants to “limit” those who illegally cross the southern border and says that the door to the nation is “too open right now."

So she now calls on House Leader Kevin McCarthy and Republicans to reach "comprehensive immigration reform” with our barely sentient President. 

Hypocrisy much?

Hochul repeated the GOP talking points on the immigration crisis on CBS’s “Face the Nation” with host Margaret Brennan, who noted that there were no border provisions in the deal struck by McCarthy this past weekend to avoid government shutdown. Brennan asked Hochul what she would like Congress to get done in the next 45 days.

"Well, shame on Speaker McCarthy and the Republicans in Congress, including the nine from New York State, who are complaining like crazy about the migrants but refuse to work with President Biden and come up with a sensible border strategy. It can be done. This can be done in a bipartisan way. Comprehensive immigration reform,” Hochul ironically said. 

Brennan then asked what she specifically wanted from Congress to deal with the migrant crisis in New York State.

"Well, we want them to have a limit on who can come across the border. It is too open right now," Hochul said. "People coming from all over the world are finding their way through simply saying they need asylum. And the majority of them seem to be ending up in the streets of New York. And that is a real problem for New York City, 125,000 newly arrived individuals. And we are being taxed.”

"We are always so proud of the fact that New York has the Statue of Liberty in our harbor. We are one of the most diverse places on Earth because of our welcoming nature, and it's in our DNA to welcome immigrants. But there has to be some limits in place. And Congress has to put more controls at the border and not in this budget threat, shutdown threat, talk about eliminating positions for Border Patrol when we actually need to double or quadruple those numbers. So, get back to work and do your jobs," Hochul added.

In 2021 Hochul declared New York as a sanctuary state, but once reality set in, not so much as over 125,000 illegal aliens have arrived in New York City since last year. She also worked with the Biden administration to expedite work authorizations and delay deportations for Venezuelans who claim to be seeking asylum, and also want services and are willing to take jobs from U.S. citizens who are not Venezuelans nor illegally entered the country.

Currently, Hochul has activated a total of 2,200 National Guard personnel to do the paperwork and case management for the state rather than actually guarding anything.

Even New York City Mayor Eric Adams, another Democrat, is upset with the Biden administration for making the city have to live up to its promise to be a sanctuary.
