Trump: The Supreme Court Is Blocking Execution of the Law

The Supreme Court's lawless ruling means that every single illegal alien is supposed to get a full trial before the President is permitted to follow the actual law.

Trump pushes back against SCOTUS: Trials for all illegal aliens "would take 200 years"

President Trump blasted the courts Monday after the Supreme Court paused deportation flights, saying it's "not possible" to try every illegal alien before removal. The administration planned to use the Alien Enemies Act to remove migrants suspected of gang affiliations, but the Court's intervention has delayed the effort.

Key Details:

Trump says the courts are "stymieing" efforts to deport criminal migrants.

He claims holding trials for each case would take "200 years."

Justice Alito sharply criticized the Court's late-night halt of deportations.

Diving Deeper:

President Trump is once again confronting judicial interference in his push to restore law and order at the southern border. In a fiery post on Truth Social Monday, the president said his administration is being "stymied at every turn" by the courts--including the U.S. Supreme Court--which recently stepped in to temporarily halt deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act.

The move came as the administration prepared to deport illegal aliens, including suspected gang members, to countries like Venezuela and El Salvador. Trump, however, made clear that despite the Supreme Court's pause, his commitment to protecting American communities remains unchanged.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," Trump wrote, noting that the volume of deportation cases would require "hundreds of thousands of trials," an undertaking he said would take "200 years." His point? The system is not only overwhelmed--it's structurally incapable of dealing with the crisis Democrats helped create.

...

The deportation pause also drew fire from Justice Samuel Alito, who dissented from the Court's late-night order. Alito criticized the decision as hasty and lacking legal justification, writing that there was "no good reason" for issuing the order "literally in the middle of the night."

Trump gave a nod to Alito's dissent, calling the Justice "right" to want the deportation freeze lifted. "If we don't get these criminals out of our Country, we are not going to have a Country any longer," the president warned.

Alito blasted the 7-2 majority, which included all three of Trump's disappointing Supreme Court picks, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and the dizzy neoliberal schoolmarm Barrett.

I think this sounds like pure cope, but Jonathan Turley claims the Supreme Court is showing its "frustration" with the hundreds of "half-baked" injunctions being granted against Trump by political freelancers of the district courts, and they're showing this frustration by... backing those political freelancers?

Supreme Court Becoming Increasingly Frustrated With 'Half-Baked' Cases Challenging Trump Deportations, Turley Says

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Sunday that justices on the Supreme Court are showing signs of "frustration" with lower courts over deportation cases.

The Supreme Court temporarily halted the Trump administration's efforts to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) early Saturday morning, saying detainees needed to have a chance to challenge their deportations. Turley said the high court was being forced into an "increasingly improvisational" approach by the sheer number of emergency cases.

"What Justice Alito is objecting to is that this is becoming increasingly improvisational," Turley told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "You have covered the Supreme Court for years, as I have, and we rarely see this level of number of emergency cases going in front of the Supreme Court. And a lot of them are half-baked in the sense that they simply don't have the normal details, the record that you have. And the justices are expressing their frustration."

Turley observed that United States District Judge Boasberg of the District of Columbia had particularly irritated some of the justices.

"Previously, they expressed frustration for the district courts. You know, in the case of Judge Boasberg, they said, 'What is this doing in your court? This is a habeas case that belongs down south.' And I think that they are showing some of that frustration," Turley told Bream. "And I think all parties should take heed of that. I think going to the Fourth Circuit decision, the Trump administration should not be alienating Chief Justice Roberts and others. They need to tone down this language a bit."

...

"A lot of these challengers are bringing these cases fast and furious to the court, and what Alito is saying is, 'What are we basing this decision on? These things are coming to us with virtually no record.'"

They're so frustrated with the lawless district court rulings that they're endorsing them?

I have usually thought that we should respect the Court but I am done with that. Trump should do what Andrew Jackson did and simply ignore the Supreme Court.
