Look up Norm Eisen and all the things this guy has done related to Trump.

He oversaw USAID payments

He also had impeachment papers drafted before Trump ever took office in 2016.

The Globalists are trying to stop Trump and he is wrecking their shite.

National security is a matter of opinion. The Trump admin. has stated that it is in fact a matter of "national security" which is their opinion. When does a judge get to decide that his opinion is that it is not? This will never fly


That's what many are missing here.... National security matters are under the Executive jurisdiction. If Trump deems illegals here killing, raping, and terrorizing American citizens is a matter of national security and invokes a Constitutional law to deal with it, that's the prerogative of the President.

Correct.

But the discussion is if these actions fall under "national security".

Is still limited by the Constitutional and statutory authority being analyzed.

My statement was within the framing of the post I quoted, which is a "could" scenario. It's not a proclamation of impropriety, just an analysis of the public's possible response to impropriety.

But it's not. Not even close.

The analysis is whether or not the actions fall within statutory authority.

It's the same analysis every time, whether "national security" or "student loan forgiveness"

The purse strings are with Congress, not the President.


CARES distributed trillions. Biden's interpretation was how those trillions were to be used. The court ruled this interpretation of how those funds should be directed was outside the statutory authority given to Biden.

Can you state where in our constitution it states that lower court judges enforce national security?

Not a relevant question.

Courts decide whether Presidents exceed their statutory or Constitutional authority when justifying actions with "national security". Courts don't "enforce" the law.

Can you state where in our constitution, the judiciary is the determiner of national security status?

So your argument is that the nation is more secure with thousands of criminal illegals running around committing crimes against Americans?

Why wouldn't the judge recuse himself? Clear conflict of interest.

Why didn't the admin file a motion to recuse is the correct question

In the next election there should be ads running 24/7 about all the idiotic policies dems have backed including bringing in illegal criminals and then fighting to keep them.

You actually are a character in Atlas Shrugged, I just haven't nailed down which one yet.

The answer to whether these actions fall under "national security" does not rest upon whether the nation is more secure by having taken the action. Is that what we are to understand?

If the judge wasn't a crook, they wouldn't have to ask, would they? Do all recusals only come after a motion is filed? Or do honest judges recuse themselves because they have conflicts?

Just because you got called out on using a (pretty bad) straw man doesn't require you to break down.

Correct.

One is an evaluation of actions within a statutory framework with no commentary whatsoever on the impact of those decisions on society.

The other is solely a prediction and subjective evaluation of the impact of the decision on society.

This is a common rhetorical failure on here by the emotive types who have to ultimately retreat to emotional reasoning (scary bad man bad for national security) to avoid the higher-level discussion going on.

Actions taken in the interests of national security are not proved by the impact of those actions and decisions on society. Balph Eubank! It's you!

Actions taken in the interests of national security ARE ONLY proven by the impact of those actions on society, Balph, you wretched fool.

You're mis-stating it

The question/analysis is whether the actions are within the statutory authority to claim they are "in the interests of national security". That has nothing to do with the impact of the decision on society.

Had Biden said he was forgiving student loans "in the interest of national security", you'd say that was illegal, correct? Why? Because student loans are not part of the statutory framework that permits Biden from delving into "national security".

Does stating the above make any comment about whether forgiving student loans is a good/bad policy? Or if forgiving student loans was positive or negative for society? No.
