Trump escalates fight with federal courts over deportation authority

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/17/trump-court-orders-defy-deportations/

The Trump administration’s battle with the federal court system escalated sharply on Monday, with government lawyers calling for the removal of a judge who blocked the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members and refusing to answer some questions in court.

Some legal experts describe the pushback as a breakdown in the fragile balance of powers between the branches of government, which includes lower courts making initial rulings about executive initiatives that can be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court.

Other experts offered more modulated assessments of the Trump administration’s aggressive legal posture, while acknowledging the judicial system was being put under intense strain.

  1. Conservative judge overrides liberal government: This is wrong! The people have spoken! The government must be obeyed or it's not democracy!
    Liberal judge overrides conservative government: Yes! The unelected judge stopped the elected government! This is real democracy!

    1. You are defining Conservative as accepting the laws of the land as binding while liberal means that it is run by an all powerful dictator?!
      Only an ignorant MAGA follower would say such nonsense!

    2. I recall that everyone considered government to be bloated, government worker numbers to be excessive and government service to be inefficient and wasteful.... until Musk showed up with an efficiency plan. Suddenly every single employee was essential and government was a lean, productive machine. Please.
      A government full of people who have nervous breakdowns when you ask them to tell you 5 things you did at work last week can handle being axed by at least 50%.
