He can't put anyone in jail. The big orange ruler has pardon power for all federal crimes, including contempt of court.

easy peasy... The funds in question we identified to be waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds therefore releasing them at this point would make the administration complicit in perpetuating this fraud on the American people...

In other words, go frick yourself...


This. No judge can dictate to the president how he manages the executive branch. FAFO.

Last time I checked the courts didn't have the authority to order anyone to commit crimes.

Clearly he disagrees with me. Wouldn't be the first time a district court judge disagreed with me and was proven wrong.

this douche-knuckle 0bama-appointed judge is a complete marxist prick.

First, he bought his judgeship by donating to Democrats.

Second, he's a proponent of critical race theory, and believes that the law is different for people who are black, transgender, or women.

Third, he exclusively hires people of color and thinks his Court is "too white."

quote:

Well, he is the kind of judge who, before he got his sweetheart gig, donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats, is on the board of a government-funded NGO that is seeing its funding frozen, whose daughter works for the Department of Education. He was a donor to the Obama, Clinton, and Joe Biden campaigns in 2008, covering his bases. He was also a major donor to Senator Whitehouse--and then he was appointed a federal judge.

quote:

McConnell isn't afraid of being called an activist judge because, well, he is an activist judge and quite proud of it. Now he is threatening criminal charges if Donald Trump doesn't do what he wants, which apparently is to keep shoveling money into his pet causes and his family's pockets.

I would say I’d love to see this post constitutional judge try to have Trump arrested, but at this point we’re too close to political violence to be happy at the thought of that kind of escalation.

"disagreed with me". How often do you talk with John Roberts each week.

Lol, SFP, you could say "Trump" is the greatest president ever and you will still get downvoted on PoliBoard.

Amazing how the MSM rushed to report Judge McConnell’s ruling, but not the reversal.

Literally cannot find it anywhere but the link you posted.

Thank God, Trump’s advisors were having a moment of intense consternation until you weighed in.
