The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

It would be funny if it weren't so destructive to the nation and to the efforts of the Trump administration to claw us back from the illegal invasion abyss created by his predecessors Obama and Biden.

This drooling, arrogant, ignorant sub-wit Obama appointee from -- you guessed it -- California, has used nonsensical logic and imaginary words in the United States Constitution that only he has the power to read to find that one administration's actions have the force of law, but the current administration's efforts are mean and nasty, so they can be ignored. Yup... Judge Chen sees in the Constitution a prohibition against "animus."

Court Halts Trump Admin's Move to Revoke Protected Status of Venezuelans

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen issued a nationwide injunction in response to a legal case brought by the National TPS Alliance, putting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s plan to roll back protections granted by the former Biden administration on hold while the case continues.

Noem previously said that the Trump administration would revoke TPS protections for Venezuelans on the grounds that they were contrary to U.S. interests and no longer justified by conditions in Venezuela.

In a 78-page order, Chen said the plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success in demonstrating that Noem’s actions “are unauthorized by law, arbitrary and capricious, and motivated by unconstitutional animus.”

Or he is just pulling this nonsensical holding out of his ass, and it has no foundation in our laws. The Biden administration extended the TPS protections to Venezuelans, and it seems to be axiomatic that the next administration can remove those protections. But ORANGE MAN BAD! And illegals, many of whom are violent criminals, are the darling and favored children of many of our activist judges, who want nothing more than to impose their own brand of totalitarianism from the bench.

This has to come to a head, and that pathetic excuse of a Chief Justice must take up these cases sooner rather than later. But he is a weakling and a coward, and an intellectual lightweight to boot. His passivity and inaction is destroying the gravitas of the Supreme Court, and his legacy will be that of a failure.

So it must be the Trump administration that pushes hard enough to force Roberts' effete, soft hand. Tell this judge that he has no authority over a purely administrative decision, but that if he wants, he can send his divisions to Washington to enforce his edict.
